Applications Now Open - Carts for members with mobility or disability requirements

Ranfurlie Golf Club remains committed to fostering an inclusive environment where all members can continue to enjoy golf—both socially and competitively—for as long as possible. In line with this commitment, the Board of Directors is pleased to announce that applications are once again open for members seeking special consideration due to a verified mobility disability.

Please note that all previously approved applicants must reapply for the upcoming 12-month period. Applications will close on September 30th, 2025.

Club Rule: Use of Golf Carts by Members with a Mobility Disability

This rule provides specific provisions for Ranfurlie Golf Club members who, due to a confirmed disability, require the use of a golf cart to participate in Club activities.

Eligibility and Conditions:

• Approved applicants will be required to pay a $10 fee per cart use, per round (9 or 18 holes), one designated day per week.
• Members must nominate no more than two preferred weekdays for cart use as part of their application.
• Availability is limited to two carts per weekday, and bookings will be allocated accordingly.

For any questions or help with the application, please contact the Club Office.

Golf Connect is coming

A New Era for Golf Online – GOLF.com.au Launches October 2
Ranfurlie Members may have received the email in the link below last week. As part of the national transition led by Golf Australia and the PGA of Australia, GOLF.com.au will officially launch on Thursday, October 2, 2025, becoming Australia’s central digital hub for all things golf.

Replacing several existing sites (including GOLF Link), this modern and mobile-friendly platform will be the new home for golfers to check their GA Handicap, book tee times, find lessons or clinics, track progress, and stay connected with golf news and events—all in one place.

Members, please stay tuned for further updates in the coming weeks as we finalise timelines for the transition to this exciting new platform—your new home for handicaps and much more.
