LF CLUB CLUB NAME: OXLEY GOLF CLUB Location: Brisbane – South/West Manager: Brett Holland Year that Club commenced trade: 1928 Rounds per year: 40,000 to 50,000 Total Members: 700 ANY MAJOR WORKS BEING PLANNED FOR THE CLUB? (OR RECENTLY COMPLETED) Not currently, waiting for above outcome. WHAT DO YOU SEE AS YOUR BIGGEST CHALLENGE AS A CLUB IN THE COMING YEARS? I do believe there will be a swing back to exclusivity for golf clubs, as most clubs can not survive the current membership decline and this will create less golf clubs for golfers to play at. ANYTHING ELSE YOU WANT TO ADD? The golf club has just employed a new course superintendent (previous here 27 years) and he has changed the whole way of caring for a golf course. Member’s feedback has been very positive. Road works on Boundary Road, which if widening to 4 lanes, golfers will have no way of crossing the road to play golf. The golf club is on the parcels of land with Boundary Road dissecting both courses. www.oxleygolfclub.com.au SPRING 2018 I GMAQ   27
