The Grange Golf Club

What The Grange Golf Club does

The Grange Golf Club is a private, member-owned incorporated golf association founded in 1926 in Grange, South Australia. It operates two 18-hole championship courses (East and West) and serves a membership base through golf access, hospitality, retail, coaching, and event hosting. The club is governed as an incorporated association under Australian law, with members holding equity rights and annual governance rights including election of the board and President.

The club generates revenue through a diversified mix of membership subscriptions and joining fees, daily green fees, pro shop retail, food and beverage operations, coaching and lessons, corporate golf days, and tournament hosting. Its physical infrastructure includes the two courses, a clubhouse, pro shop, and event facilities. The club hosts marquee external events including LIV Golf Adelaide (recognized as the "World's Best Golf Event") and the 2019 Women's Australian Open, which provide significant event-day revenue and brand exposure.

Beyond traditional golf, the club has expanded its offering to include GOLF+ Performance (a performance and wellness extension), a P1 Entertainment golf simulator, and structured junior and women's development programs (including the AGF Girls Scholarship and IWS Foundation partnership). Reciprocal club access through the Links2Golf network enhances the membership value proposition. The club employs approximately 37 staff and is led by a volunteer board with operational management across course, F&B, events, and finance functions.
