Golfers’ guide to some of the most welcoming golf clubs, courses and service providers
CASUAL golf (aka social golf) in Australia is booming. Once upon a time it was considered a small, and oftentimes disdained, sector of the golfing space. Now it’s a major player in a burgeoning industry.
Many golf clubs around the country are much more welcoming when it comes to social golf clubs.
In some respects, social golf club numbers have outpaced private clubs in terms of growth over the years as time-poor families and individuals have changed their habits when it comes to playing the game of golf. This has led to the establishment of many highly-respected social golf networks and clubs. These professionally-run organisations/groups are located throughout the country with many offering official Golf Australia handicaps, professionally-run events, golf tours and more.
Golf courses and private clubs have also cottoned on to this highly-lucrative market. These clubs are successfully welcoming casual golfers with open arms, and are being rewarded with a healthy bottom line in both their green fee revenue and food and beverage numbers.
