Toast to season

Opening Day - Sat 26 Feb 


A toast to the 2022 season with club president, Shane Thompson, hitting off the first ball of the season in the afternoon and Glen Tueno, our Junior Coordinator did the same honours in the morning. 

Well done Shane and Glen! 

Thank you to all members that came out today to support our Opening Day and well done to all winners. 

Thank you to our wonderful hospitality team, lead by Matija (house manager) and Rhian (head chef) for the wonderful food platter and outdoor BBQ food, enjoyed by many during lunch.

Here's to a wonderful season for all at Gosnells Golf Club.

Quick Update - No Cash Out 


Please be advised that from Monday, 28 February, there will not be any cash out option for our members or guests in our point of sale. While we understand that cash is still a primary method of payment for many, we are streamlining our operations and encouraging less usage of cash. As we head into the peak of COVID virus, especially when borders open next week, we are advising members that potentially there would be a temporary period that we will go cashless. 


Range

Driving Range 


Members are advised to be aware of the current restrictions in place for use of driving range. The restriction for no use of woods or drivers is to minimise the errors of stray golf balls in our neighbouring houses and properties. This is strictly non-negotiable unless you are supervised directly by our teaching professionals. 

City of Gosnells is the owner of our driving range land therefore we are under strict restriction to minimise any stray golf balls from our driving range. The frontage area of the range will soon be roped off in order to minimise the risk of golf balls heading into neighbouring properties. This is a temporary measure we seek to facilitate a long term solution and negotiation talks with City of Gosnells. 

Your assistance and cooperation in this matter is highly appreciated. 

We will advise more in coming weeks and months in this matter. The driving range is a long standing issue with us and the Council and certainly not an issue unknown to most members in the Club. 


Twilight golf

Friday timesheet and Twilight Golf 


From Friday, 4 March - our Friday timesheet will be played in two tee start all day. 

This is to cater for the main demand of more members wanting to play early morning (7am - 8am) and late afternoon (twilight hours). 

With a two tee start configuration, twilight competition will start from approximately 3pm in summer and 2.30pm in winter. 

Twilight competition will return as a Club competition with $1 of your golf fee will go towards the Twilight Box. 

Diners on Friday night could enter the Twilight Box with a $2 fee ($1 to the Club and $1 to the Twilight Box). 

With the latest COVID restriction in place for 2 metre square per person coverage in the Club lounge, our bar staff will advise once the capacity has been reached. We will place more seating on the other side of the bar for members to sit and congregate.
