It gives me great pleasure to present the 2015 Captain’s Report to members of Glenelg Golf Club.
2015 was another successful year for Glenelg Golf Club. Our course ranking, as rated by Golf Australia Magazine, rose to 25th in Australia, even with two new courses entering the charts. This is a testament to our great course and also to the way we receive and welcome visitors; something that, as members, you should be proud of.
On a financial basis, the Club had a good year. We undertook some significant projects of a capital nature such as the western car park redevelopment, continued to reduce our debt level and reported an operating surplus. This is all good news and thanks go to members and guests for your patience during the periods of disruption when some of these works were being undertaken.

Our Club has never been one that has stood still. Previous committees have judiciously and with great foresight, implemented a progressive and manageable culture of change that has seen our Club grow to become one of the premier private golf clubs in Australia. In particular, the past 15-20 years has seen significant growth and an extensive capital expenditure program to ensure our world class facilities continue to be the best available for our members.
Membership remains one of our significant focuses and we continued to attract new members to the Club in 2015. We encourage you all to be ambassadors for Glenelg and keep introducing potential members to the Club. We have a great range of membership options available and, if you are not familiar with the current types of membership, please take a moment to look on the website or drop by the Club’s Administration Office.
As members, you know that Glenelg Golf Club is about more than just golf; we are a vibrant, busy venue which members, guests and visitors use as a destination for socialising, dining, functions, corporate events and weddings – all of which assist significantly in sustaining the Club’s financial viability. I thank you for your support of our Club off the golf course and encourage you to continue to enjoy our magnificent facility. Additionally, it would be great if you let others know about our extensive range of capabilities.
I hope you enjoy reading about the activities of the Club in 2015 and I look forward to seeing many of you on our wonderful golf course in the coming year.
