Palm Beach Golf Club

What Palm Beach Golf Club does

Palm Beach Golf Club is a private, member-owned golf club founded in 1924 and headquartered at 2 Beach Road, Palm Beach, New South Wales, Australia, approximately 40 kilometres north of the Sydney CBD on the Barrenjoey Peninsula. Its core asset is a 9-hole, par 64, 4240-metre course nestled between Pittwater and Palm Beach beneath the Barrenjoey Lighthouse, complemented by an on-site ProShop, a bar and restaurant with balcony views over Lion Island and Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park, and function rooms used for corporate events and private celebrations. The club currently has approximately 500 members and operates a tiered membership programme spanning House, 9-Hole, Full, Premium House, Cadet, Junior, and 3-Month Introductory memberships, each with distinct green-fee, competition, and F&B benefits.

Revenue is generated from five streams: recurring annual membership subscriptions, usage-based public green fees with category-specific rates for seniors, pensioners, university students, and school students, transaction-based food and beverage sales, professional-services revenue from functions and corporate golf days, and hardware/merchandise sales through the ProShop including cart, club, and buggy hire. Pricing is denominated in AUD and varies by membership tier, day of week, and player category.

Distribution is entirely direct-to-consumer: golf bookings run via OurGolf (members) and MicLab (public), dining and gift-card transactions via NowBookIt, and online membership payments via Pin Payments, all supported by a small in-house management team (General Manager, Head Chef, Administration Manager, Bar Supervisor, ProShop staff, Front of House Supervisor, Course Superintendent) and a volunteer Board of Directors headed by a President, Vice President, Treasurer, Captain, and four Directors. The club is privately held with no parent company, no institutional capital, and operates only within New South Wales.
