GOLF MEMBERS STRIKE GOLD AT PARADISE

The management of Paradise Palms Resort and Country Club has struck gold with the introduction of a new golf membership that bridges the gap between Platinum and Silver levels.

Since launching the new “gold” membership in late May, Paradise Palms has processed 61 gold memberships that comprise a mix of old and first time members.

According to Nathan Young Golf / F & B Operations Manager it is pleasing that the majority of gold memberships comprise of brand new members as well as upgrades from silver.

“We are especially delighted to welcome new members to Paradise Palms and introduce the wonderful array of facilities to be enjoyed at one of Australia’s best championship courses.

“Gold membership, priced at $899 per annum, is a new addition to the membership structure in 2009 and is designed primarily to make regular championship golf more affordable than ever.”

Gold membership can enjoy reduced green fees of $35 (18 holes) seven days a week, which includes a motorised cart. Other benefits include access to and maintenance of an AGU handicap, free, online tee bookings, large bucket of range balls for price of small bucket, optional 30 day account, opportunity to host up to three guests at a reduced green fee, invitation to events, reciprocal arrangement available within clubs in Australian capital cities, 20 per cent accommodation discount at Paradise Palms resort and personalized bag tag and Paradise Palms membership card.  There is no joining fee for this level of membership.

Irrespective of level, all members benefit from a 12 month anniversary fee structure as opposed to a pro-rata system.

Constantly ranked as one of Australia’s top courses, Paradise Palms offers a combination of sweeping fairways, snaking creeks, six lakes, narrow, undulating greens and 94 bunkers.  With no shared fairways, from every tee, the golfer is presented with a spectacular and demanding layout.  Designed by Graham Marsh and Ross Watson and first opened in 1990, the par 72 course measures 6,392 metres off the championship tees.
