Portarlington Golf Club - 2025 master plans

Dear fellow members,

It’s with great excitement and anticipation of the journey ahead that I confirm that the club’s board has approved the master plan at our most recent meeting on March 24.

This decision comes after a two-year exercise by the course and clubhouse master planning committee which has included multiple site visits to venues across Victoria, New South Wales and Queensland. Importantly, a key part of this process has been member input. From surveys and focus groups to the full public forum we held on the matter on November 20, the membership has been kept fully informed throughout.

Not all member suggestions have been adopted, but some have. Please know that all were considered and for that, we are very grateful to all who provided feedback. Throughout the process, we have maintained excellent relations with our prospective architects and designers: Crafter & Mogford on the golf course side and Rubicon for the clubhouse. We will continue to have open and ongoing dialogue with both.

- the club’s ability to source and repay external funding through the various stages of the master plan. Thanks again. We’re sure you agree that this is an exciting time in the club’s history.

Just like the seasons and our promotions, something is always changing. And the same applies to our latest Master Plan April update.

The eagle-eyed among you will notice that while many things look similar in this update to the most recent, there are more than a handful of subtle changes. This applies to not only the clubhouse section, but also to the golf course section that follows.

As noted, these documents are evolving, so please feel free to read and keep updated on all progress ...
