Melville Glades Golf Club

What Melville Glades Golf Club does

Melville Glades Golf Club is a privately operated, member-based 18-hole parkland golf club located on Beasley Road in Leeming, Western Australia, approximately 20 minutes south of the Perth CBD. Established in 1969 and originally designed by course architect Al Howard, the layout has been refined over the decades by Graham Marsh and Ross Watson, and today stretches 6,200 metres from the back tees at a par of 71. The club sits within natural Australian bushland alongside John Connell Reserve and offers competition and social play seven days a week. Pacific Links International membership provides members with reciprocal access to over 500 partner golf clubs globally.

The club operates a diversified revenue model spanning annual golf memberships, clubhouse/social memberships, visitor green fees, corporate golf packages, Pro Shop merchandise, and event hire for weddings, conferences, and private functions in a clubhouse that accommodates up to 160 guests. Hospitality is anchored by The Glades Restaurant, which serves a la carte dining on Fridays plus themed buffet nights and snacks menus. Operations are supported by a small team of approximately 12 staff across the General Manager, Course Superintendent, Bar Manager, Membership Services, and Golf & Marketing Officer functions, with member interaction handled through the MiClub online booking platform.

The club is privately held with no disclosed parent company, investors, or external capital. Ownership structure is not explicitly stated but is consistent with a member-owned or board-governed private golf club model typical of Western Australia. Its geographic reach is concentrated in the Perth metropolitan market, with outbound reach to a global reciprocal network via Pacific Links International.
