Construction of Maleny Golf Club’s new $1.7 million clubhouse has reached a significant early milestone with the completion of bulk earthworks on time and within budget.

The new facility is expected to be operational by mid-2026 and will complement the golf club’s award-winning 18-hole course in Queensland’s Sunshine Coast hinterland.

President Doug Evans said progress to date reflected careful planning, attention to detail and dedication by the golf club’s skilled on-site management team.

“This is a significant undertaking and our team has done a great job completing this crucial stage of works efficiently and with minimal disruption to members, patrons and day-to-day golf operations,” Mr Evans said.

Significantly, Mr Evans said member donations had also enabled the club to fund expansion of the building’s original footprint from 422 to 483 square metres by adding an extra module now, rather than later as previously planned.

“The extra $200,000 being invested will future-proof the clubhouse for at least the next 10-to-15 years and avoid inevitable disruption to extend the building later at far greater cost,” Mr Evans said.

Mr Evans said the modular design of the clubhouse allowed for efficient off-site prefabrication and rapid erection.

“Once the footings are completed the seven modules will be lifted into place by crane in one day and the building should become operational within another 10-to-12 weeks following fit-out,” he said.

Since opening its first nine holes in 2015, the club has operated from temporary facilities created from two shipping containers.

The new clubhouse represents the next exciting chapter in Maleny Golf Club’s growth and long-term vision.
