Future Golf Returns $266,000 Revenue Share to Australian Golf Clubs

Future Golf has returned more than $266,000 in revenue share to Australian golf clubs for the 2025–26 financial year through its Partner Engagement Program (PEP).

The program recognises Future Golf partner clubs that provide strong member access and value while actively working with Future Golf to create positive experiences for its growing golf community.

The top 25 partner clubs shared in the $266,000 allocation, with Moonah Links Golf Club finishing as Future Golf’s highest-ranked partner nationally, followed by Yering Meadows Golf Club and Eagle Ridge Golf Course.

With more than 220 partner clubs across Australia, Future Golf works with courses to introduce golfers to new venues while generating green fee and food and beverage revenue, supporting events and creating pathways into traditional club membership.

The Partner Engagement Program is designed to recognise more than simply the volume of Future Golf rounds played at a venue.

Member access and introductory rounds are a major component, alongside the value provided to Future Golf members, engagement with the partnership and collaboration on initiatives that benefit both the club and Future Golf community.

Future Golf Head of Strategic Partnerships Rohan Adams said the revenue share was part of the organisation’s commitment to ensuring partner clubs benefit directly from Future Golf’s continued growth.

“Our partner clubs are fundamental to Future Golf, so as our community continues to grow, we want clubs to share directly in that success.” “This year we’ve returned more than $266,000 through the Partner Engagement Program, in addition to $50,000 invested directly into five clubs through our new Community Grant Program. That’s more than $316,000 going directly back into Australian golf clubs through these two initiatives alone.” “The strongest partnerships are the ones where we work together to understand what the club is trying to achieve and find opportunities that deliver value for the club while creating a great experience for our members.”

A key focus of the Future Golf model is turning an initial visit into a longer-term relationship between the golfer and the club.

For many Future Golf members, an introductory round may be their first experience of a partner venue. From there, clubs have the opportunity to engage those golfers through repeat green fee play, food and beverage, events, social golf and ultimately traditional club membership.

More than 19,000 Future Golf members have transitioned into traditional golf club memberships, demonstrating the potential for introductory access to create longer-term value for clubs.

The Top 25 partner clubs for 2025–26 represented a diverse cross-section of the Australian golf industry, including private and public-access facilities, metropolitan and regional clubs, and venues of varying sizes and operating models across Victoria, South Australia, Western Australia, New South Wales/ACT and Queensland.

While the Top 25 received the additional end-of-financial-year revenue share, Future Golf said its broader partner network generates revenue opportunities throughout the year through member rounds, return visits, food and beverage spend, events and membership pathways.

As Future Golf continues to grow its community and partner network, the organisation says its focus remains on introducing more golfers to clubs, generating incremental revenue and helping partner venues turn those introductions into longer-term relationships.
