Your club

Club Tocumwal is the social and community hub of our ever-growing community which ties together much of our social fabric and plays an important part in the health, well-being, and economy of our local community. Your club is one of the largest not-for-profit sporting clubs in the region and has played a significant role in our community for generations.

As part of the club’s long term future proofing, the club has diagnosed significant challenges and stresses of its golf courses, ageing infrastructure, inadequate amenities, and inefficiencies. The clubhouse facility no longer serves the priorities of its growing membership and fails to meet expectations and needs of visitors and community user groups.

The club has committed to undertake a $7.5 million redevelopment of its clubhouse and has the budgeted funds to achieve this goal.

As part of the clubs broader Funding Strategy, the club has now launched a Capital Appeal for support of our Golf course master plan, with the goal to raise $1 million dollars to achieve and realise your expectations.

These funds will be siloed and used specifically for Golf course master plan renovations, course upgrades and irrigation improvements.

The Project

Club Tocumwal’s board and management are committed to building a financially sustainable club, and this includes investment in excellent sporting facilities for members, visitors, local families and community groups. They also encourage and source additional revenue opportunities so it can continue to invest in further development.

The new facility will see over 100,000 visitations a year, including golf, bowls and non-sporting patrons, aiming to create a community hub where people can come to share experiences, participate in sport, enjoy and socialise, all whilst achieving improved health and well-being. 

Youth is the future of Club Tocumwal and part of our renovation plans includes the creation and introduction of the Southern Riverina Junior Golf academy. This learning and training space is part of our development, will be run by our training golf professionals and offers a pathway for the youth of our community to achieve and learn.

Funds for the renovation of our current clubhouse have been funded dollar for dollar from a successful State government funding initiative with our club tipping in close to $4,000,000.

Club Tocumwal has developed a master plan for our amazing golf courses. These adopted plans when enacted will delete some existing problems from the original infrastructure but also contemporise and rejuvenate the course whilst creating challenges for the elite and ease of play for the enthusiast.

The funding we require is specifically needed to bring forward our master plan with particular attention to Green rebuilding to eradicate couch encroachment and installation of new water technologies to replace our antiquated irrigation systems.

We have a conservative estimate of spending $2,000,000 on our master plan and irrigation upgrades over the next 5 years.

Regionally, this master plan aims to support economic and workforce development, secure local service providers and provide a better facilities for those that live in the community and their families.

Costs

Initial upgrade costs of the master plan upgrades equates to $2 million.

• Club Tocumwal is contributing $1 million of its own capital towards the master plan over the next 10 years.
• The remaining $1 million is hoped to be funded through the club's Capital Fundraising Appeal through the ASF funding portal and will bring forward our schedule dramatically.
• If our funding target is achieved we will bring forward our program by 5 years with works beginning immediately.
