Mount Lawley Golf Club

What Mount Lawley Golf Club does

Mount Lawley Golf Club is a non-profit, member-owned private golf club operating an 18-hole championship course on a 79-hectare site in Inglewood, Western Australia, roughly 10 minutes from the Perth CBD. Founded in 1928, the club currently ranks inside the Top 30 of the Golf Digest Australia Top 100 Courses and serves a Perth-metro member base plus visiting reciprocal-club golfers from more than 50 partner clubs globally. Governance is exercised by a 9-member Board supported by approximately 10 staff.

The club's commercial activity spans multiple revenue streams: Full Ordinary Membership subscriptions, non-member green fees, equipment hire, a pro shop, a driving range, professional coaching, and a function venue used for corporate events and private functions. A women's committee and broader member-event programming are layered onto core golf access. Operational technology is limited to vendor SaaS, including MiClub for member and club management, Timely for booking, and Select Pi for the driving range. No proprietary AI or ML systems are deployed.

The club completed a $3.7 million three-year course redevelopment in February 2025, encompassing a full greens replacement program, and is positioned to host the WA Open in October 2025. Environmental programming — 17,702 native plants installed since 2019 — has produced consecutive WA Golf Industry Environmental Awards, and the club is a signatory to the R&A Women in Golf Charter, signalling active investment in member experience, sustainability positioning, and tournament-grade course conditioning.
