Mandalay celebrates as
clubhouse breaks ground
F
ollowing the recent completion of
Club Mandalay’s 18-hole golf course,
celebrations continued last month
as Mandalay broke ground on its crowning
feature, the $8 million “Club Mandalay” golf
clubhouse and recreational facility.
The clubhouse facility will complement the
already playable Peter Thomson designed,
18-hole golf course, located in Beveridge,
north of Melbourne. Residents, members and
golfers alike will enjoy the well appointed bar
and bistro facilities, Pro Shop, function room
and locker rooms. The Clubhouse will also
provide residents with exclusive access to
the fully equipped gym, 25m heated outdoor
swimming pool and kids’ water play area.
Architecturally designed by Bayley Ward,
Club Mandalay will maximise views over
the golf course and parkland surrounding
parklands with floor-to-ceiling windows
and an abundance of natural lighting to
complement the building’s natural materials
and neutral palette.
Avid Sports Management, led by PGA
Professional and Managing Director James
Cooper, will operate Club Mandalay. James
is no stranger to the opening of golf facilities
of this calibre after being instrumental in the
opening and development of Moonah Links,
The Dunes, Natadola Bay in Fiji and more
recently Golf Central Brisbane Airport.
The Par 72 golf course measures 6,285 metres
from the black tees and offers spectacular vistas
and superb playing surfaces. The Mandalay
layout takes players on a journey through
the beautifully landscaped parklands and the

multiple tee options that offer players of all skill
levels an enjoyable challenge. The strategically
positioned and visually spectacular bunkers
will be one of the more memorable facets of
the Mandalay Golf Course.
“The golf course at Mandalay has grown-in
beautifully and has matured well beyond its
years. The rolling fairways are reminiscent of
a Peter Thomson design, and reflect his love
for links golf. The green shapes and bunkers
are also incredibly unique, and I believe
a standout feature of the Mandalay Golf
Course. The clubhouse will put the finishing
touches on what is sure to be an awarding
winning facility,” said Cooper
“Club Mandalay is a fantastic addition
to golf in Victoria and in particular to
Melbourne’s North. We have been delighted
by the feedback from players who have
already experienced the course, and we are
already gaining keen interest for membership
and corporate events.” Cooper added
