Medway Golf Club

What Medway Golf Club does

Medway Golf Club is a member-owned, not-for-profit private golf club operating a single 18-hole parkland course along the Maribyrnong River in Maidstone, Victoria, approximately 20 minutes from Melbourne CBD. The club traces its origins to Medway Public Golf Links, which opened in 1935, and was formally constituted as Medway Golf Club in 1946; members later acquired the freehold land in 1949 and built the current clubhouse in 1958. As of March 2026 the club has 966 members across roughly 22 membership categories, ranging from full 7-day and 6-day playing rights through Gold, Country, Young Adult, Intermediate, Junior, Social Playing, Social Non-Playing, and Women's Trial tiers, supplemented by Corporate Sponsorship packages (Bronze through Platinum, AUD $3,400 to $12,600 annually).

The core technology platform is the third-party MiClub member management system, including the MiClub member portal, Medway mobile app (iOS/Android), and a lottery booking process for high-demand tee times. On-site facilities comprise Santa Ana couch fairways, a comprehensive reticulation system installed in 1978, on-course water storage infrastructure (weir and dams built 1985 and 2009-2010), the Maribyrnong River Function Centre (capacity 10-150 guests), a bar and bistro (Tuesday-Saturday lunch, plus Sunday roast), a PGA-staffed Pro Shop and Coaching Academy, and reciprocal playing arrangements — most notably the 2023 Inner North West Golf grouping with Northern GC, Sanctuary Lakes GC, and Kooringal GC.

Revenue is generated across multiple streams: recurring individual and corporate membership subscriptions, usage-based green fees (18-, 12-, 9-, and 6-hole options; estimated 50,000+ annual rounds), Corporate Golf Days at AUD $100 per person, F&B and bar revenue, function and event venue hire, Pro Shop retail and PGA coaching, and tee-signage sponsorship across 18 advertising positions. Go-to-market is direct-to-consumer via the club website, online booking portal, social media (Facebook, Instagram, YouTube), community partnerships (West Footscray Rotary, Sunshine Western Region Sports Club, Harvey Norman Maribyrnong), and a dedicated corporate sales function. Ownership is held collectively by members through a Board of Directors (President Mal Collins, Treasurer Craig Saville, Captain Jenny Kelly, and Directors Philip Marinucci, Glen Bales, James Margariti, Corey Nixon, Shannon Percy) and General Manager Brett Scothern; there is no external VC, PE, or institutional ownership.
