New South Wales Golf Club

What New South Wales Golf Club does

New South Wales Golf Club is a private, member-owned golf club established in 1928 and located at Henry Head within Botany Bay National Park, La Perouse, Sydney. The club operates a single 18-hole championship golf course originally routed by Dr. Alister MacKenzie and recently remastered by Mackenzie & Ebert, situated on dramatic cliff-top terrain overlooking Botany Bay. Its core product is exclusive access to the course for members, with limited unaccompanied guest play available on weekdays to non-NSW residents subject to a maximum recommended handicap of 27.

The club's technology footprint is modest: it uses Golf Genius for tournament results management (including the annual NSW Cup and Silver Cup), CoachNow for lesson scheduling, and a Sam Putt Lab for club fitting and putting analysis in its teaching facility. Two named teaching professionals (Warwick Dews and Chris Andrews) deliver individual and group lessons, and the club runs school-holiday Cadet Golf Clinics for members' relatives aged 8-16. A member portal handles bookings, scores, and member-only content.

The revenue model is a hybrid of recurring membership subscriptions (quote-based, not publicly disclosed), professional services income from instruction and clinics, and hardware/merchandise sales through an on-site pro shop. Distribution is exclusively direct — private membership, direct guest bookings via email/phone, and physical retail at the La Perouse site. Geographic scope is domestic Australia with implicit inbound tourism from interstate golfers.
