City Golf Club is marking its centenary year with a multimillion-dollar redevelopment that will reshape the Toowoomba venue\u2019s golfing, gaming and hospitality facilities.<\/p>\n

Major renovations at the club are underway, with the project expected to cost between $16 million and $19 million.<\/p>\n

The redevelopment will include a complete overhaul of the pro shop, an expanded gaming area, a new multi-purpose function room and an underground car park.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is really about improving the overall community experience,\u201d City Golf Club general manager Andrew Hinton told Club Management.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s an ever-changing landscape, and you\u2019ve got to keep up with the times. Upgrading the facilities is key to maintaining the standards and service that our members and the wider golf community expect.\u201d<\/p>\n

The new pro shop, which forms part of stage one of the redevelopment, will feature upgraded training facilities and a completely new look.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe want to give back to golf with a new pro shop. The current one is a bit outdated,\u201d Hinton said.<\/p>\n

He added the club\u2019s internal spaces would also be refurbished to create a more premium experience for members and guests.<\/p>\n

The upgrades come ahead of City Golf Club hosting the Australian Seniors Open later this year.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re hosting the Australian Seniors Open at the end of September and into early October,\u201d Hinton said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a national event for professional golfers aged over 50. The renovation won\u2019t be complete by then, but we\u2019ve secured a three-year agreement to host the tournament, so future events will be able to showcase the finished redevelopment.\u201d<\/p>\n

The commencement of works also coincides with the club\u2019s 100-year anniversary this year, which was marked with a Gatsby-themed party on Friday 19 June. <\/p>\n

Hinton, who is overseeing the redevelopment after joining City Golf Club last year<\/a>, said the project had been years in the making.<\/p>\n

\u201cI came in towards the end of the planning process and made a few tweaks here and there, but most of the work was done by group general manager Neil [Shaw] and CEO Peter Constance,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a very progressive club. Opportunities arise all the time and we\u2019re always looking ahead. We employ more than 200 people, and it\u2019s a fantastic community club in Toowoomba. It\u2019s great to be a part of it.\u201d<\/p>\n

The first stage of works is expected to be completed by the end of the year, with the second stage scheduled for completion in April.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"City Golf Club is marking its centenary year with a multimillion-dollar redevelopment that will reshape the Toowoomba venue\u2019s…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":753962,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[566],"tags":[64,63,361319,952,755,85],"class_list":["post-753961","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-golf","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-city-golf-club","tag-featured","tag-golf","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/753961","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=753961"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/753961\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/753962"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=753961"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=753961"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=753961"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
