President's Update

Last Friday was our annual Gala Night. This important event is an opportunity for members to come together and share their achievements with family and friends. There were more than 100 people in attendance.

We acknowledged members who had achieved membership milestones, announced our volunteer of the year, recognised our club champions, inducted 3 members into the Hall of Fame and elected member Greg Rowden to Life Membership.

I would like to thank our GM Fiza for her oversight in the event and to Gus and his team in the kitchen who put on an amazing dinner service. As was with last year's event, we heard amazing tributes and storytelling about the history of past members which makes our club so great. I look forward to next year's event.


Restricted Members - access to Thursday and Saturday time sheets (for competition only)

The board have recently conducted a review of playing categories and timesheet access. As a result, the board have decided to open the premium day access to restricted members with the following conditions:

  1. Access to the timesheet will be 5 days prior - thus still affording full and lifestyle members ample opportunity to access premium days
  2. Cost of competition applies - same as full and lifestyle members
  3. Restricted members will also incur the cost of "the members guest fee" which is currently $50 (increasing to $55 from 1 January 2025) and is payable at the time of booking - as the restricted member is playing out of the category. No restrictions on the number of times this is allowed.

 

We believe this window will provide access to some restricted members who wish to occasionally play in the competition on a Thursday or Saturday. The members' guest cost is applied to ensure equity in member pricing is maintained.

I wish all members an enjoyable summer of golf and a safe holiday season.

Vice President's Update 

Dear Members,

As we approach the end of another fantastic year, I am delighted to share some exciting news about the progress and milestones we've achieved together.

The City of Gosnells has unanimously approved our development application for the construction of the much-anticipated Halfway Hut. This project will significantly enhance our facilities and provide:

  • New ablutions to better serve our members and on-course golf.
  • A canteen for a quick refreshment stop during your game.
  • Act as a shelter for inclement weather, particularly; when heavy rain, hail and lightning.
  • Plus a spacious decking area offering a prime viewing location for golf events and gatherings.

The Halfway Hut will become a valuable addition to our club, enhancing the overall experience for golfers and spectators alike.

In addition to the Halfway Hut project, we've advanced the design and planning for the redevelopment of our current clubhouse and the construction of a state-of-the-art golf facility. This new development is set to include:

  • A modern pro-shop for all your golfing needs.
  • A welcoming cafĂ© and indoor playground, for a family-friendly environment.
  • An undercover driving range for year-round practice.
  • Cutting-edge indoor golf simulation technology.
  • Comprehensive practice facilities and training areas designed to support golfers of all levels.

 

We are finalising plans and reports for the lodgement of the development application with the City of Gosnells in the coming weeks.

While we look to incorporate new facilities to meet the growing demand for off-course amenities, the Club remains committed to preserving the exclusivity of our 18 hole course for members and social groups and corporate events. Additionally, the enhanced practice facilities will be accessible to the wider community of golfing enthusiasts, seeking to foster growth in the sport and attract new members.

These exciting projects reflect our vision to elevate the Gosnells Golf Club experience and secure its place as a premier destination for golf and "the Club of Choice" in the Southern corridor of Perth.

Thank you for your continued support as we seek to improve and grow our club into the future.

May your holiday season be filled with joy, and wonderful moments on and off the course!

Rob Olde

Vice President and Chairman of Project Development Committee
