New clubhouse offers local benefits beyond golf
Maleny Golf Club’s new $1.7 million clubhouse will open by the end of June – complementing the club’s award-winning 18-hole golf course in Queensland’s Sunshine Coast hinterland.
Since opening in 2015, the Maleny course has evolved into a must-play destination on any Sunshine Coast golfing itinerary and the new clubhouse will further enhance its golfing appeal and reputation.
Importantly, the new clubhouse will also provide local residents with an outstanding bookable meeting space outside golf’s business hours – providing broader community benefits envisaged by the Sunshine Coast Council as site lessor.
Acting General Manager Doug Evans said completion of the club’s permanent headquarters marked an important milestone in the club’s history.
“The board and management team have done a tremendous job in delivering this complex project while causing minimal disruption to members, patrons and day-to-day golf operations,” he said.
Mr Evans especially thanked members whose generous donations and loans totalling almost $1 million had enabled the project to go ahead.
“They’ve not only helped fund a new club house, but invested in a social space, a community hub and a legacy that will serve members, visitors and Maleny residents for many years to come,” he said.
Plans are underway to hold a grand opening celebration later in the year.
