Yowani Country Club Limited

What Yowani Country Club Limited does

Yowani Country Club Limited operates a single 18-hole par 70 golf course and associated clubhouse at 31 Riggall Place, Lyneham, in the Australian Capital Territory. The club, with origins dating to the 1950s and over 70 years of continuous operation, recently completed a comprehensive course redesign by Contour Golf alongside construction of a brand-new modern clubhouse that opened in 2026. It serves a member base of golfers of all abilities plus social players, corporate clients, and event guests, with the course built on tree-lined, water-defined fairways featuring bent grass greens and modern bunkers.

The commercial offering is a layered bundle of golf and hospitality services anchored by tiered annual memberships (Full 7-day, Intermediate 6-day, Restricted 5-day, Junior, Social) and supplemented by pay-as-you-play green fees, a multi-brand pro shop with GC Quad club fitting, PGA Professional lessons booked through Acuity and Squarespace scheduling, on-site dining Tuesday through Saturday, and function and event services with capacity for up to 180 guests. Operational technology is built on MiClub for membership management, OnCourse Golf for e-commerce, and Giftup for digital gift voucher distribution; no proprietary AI or ML capabilities are disclosed.

The revenue model combines recurring subscription revenue from memberships, usage-based revenue from green fees, lessons, cart hire and function hire, transactional revenue from pro shop retail and dining, and ancillary revenue from gift vouchers. Distribution is entirely direct, with no intermediaries, while a reciprocal access network spanning 40+ partner clubs across Australia plus Singapore and China extends the effective utility of a Yowani membership well beyond the single Lyneham venue.
