Established in 1926, the Ayr Golf Club stands as a cornerstone of the Burdekin community, offering an 18-hole, 5,861 metre championship course. With a membership of 200 dedicated individuals, the celebrated club thrives on the support of volunteers committed to promoting golf and creating a welcoming environment for members, visitors, and social players alike.
Golf plays a pivotal role within the Burdekin community, particularly for the aging population, as the sport fosters physical activity promoting strength, mobility, and social connectivity. The Ayr Golf Course recently sought funding through Bendigo Bank’s Community Bank grant program to enhance the course’s facilities and improve the overall experiences of players.
“The Community Bank application was targeted at improving community facilities by providing an on-course toilet block,” said the Ayr Golf Club’s Grants Officer Angie Baxter.
“With significant distances between some holes and the clubhouse, having a toilet available on the course ensures that players don’t have to trek back to the clubhouse to use facilities.”
The Ayr Golf Club was beyond grateful to be awarded an $8,000 grant from Community Bank Home Hill and Ayr, planning for the generous donation to fund the construction of an on-course toilet block.
“The provision of a practical and convenient amenity will enhance the playing experience for Burdekin golfers and would be a significant enticement for clubs, groups and individuals wishing to visit the beautiful Burdekin and play at the Ayr course,” explained Angie.
Throughout the year, the Ayr Golf Club hosts a variety of tournaments, championships, and social events that bring together diverse community groups. These initiatives underscore the club’s commitment of inclusivity and community spirit; values shared with the Community Bank.
The Ayr Golf Club extends a warm invitation to the local community to visit the clubhouse and join in on the Club’s social afternoons each Sunday from 11am to 5pm.
“Members, visitors and guests are welcome to join us for a round of golf, some conversation and refreshments,” said Angie.
