Two Belgravia Leisure-managed golf courses have been named as finalists for multiple honours at the prestigious 2025 Victorian Golf Industry Awards, to be held at Southern Golf Club on October 16th.
Yarrambat Park Golf Course is a finalist in:
Most Outstanding Club, Facility or Place to Play – Metropolitan
Yarrambat Park Golf Course (YPGC) has earned its finalist nomination through a year of exceptional performance, innovation and community impact.
The venue hosted 159 functions and events, including weddings, school activations and the return of its Pro-Am tournament, showcasing its versatility and appeal.
Innovative initiatives such as the Coreswing Program (Golf + Pilates), Ace Society hole-in-one cameras and Eagle drone trials for environmental protection highlight YPGC’s forward-thinking approach.
Under the leadership of Venue Manager Matt Weisheit, YPGC has also built strong relationships with local council and community groups, created a precinct partnership network and consistently delivered high-quality customer service, earning a 95% mystery shopper average.
YPGC stands out as a dynamic, inclusive, and high-performing golf facility, fully deserving of its nomination.
Metropolitan Pro-Am of the Year
Yarrambat’s nomination for Metropolitan Pro-Am of the Year follows the resounding success of the 2025 Ray White Doreen Pro-Am, which welcomed 170 players, including top professionals and amateurs, for a day of elite competition and community celebration.
The event featured standout performances including Nathan Page’s 8-under 64 victory and Belgravia Leisure’s own Toby Walker, who tied for second.
Beyond the competition, the event delivered a festival-like atmosphere with live music, food trucks and the Ace Society 18th Hole NTP Shootout, creating a memorable experience for players and spectators alike. The tournament showcased Yarrambat’s exceptional facilities and its ability to host premium events that elevate the profile of community golf.
Venue Manager Matt Weisheit shared his pride in receiving two nominations.
“This recognition reflects the incredible work our team has put in to make Yarrambat a vibrant, inclusive and high-performing golf destination. We’ve focused on building strong community connections, delivering exceptional experiences, and constantly improving our facility It’s rewarding to see that effort acknowledged.”
Most Outstanding Club, Facility or Place to Play – Regional
Geelong Golf Club’s nomination reflects its commitment to inclusion, innovation and community engagement. The club is a signatory of the R&A Women in Golf Charter, offered vision-impaired clinics in collaboration with Blind Golf Victoria and offers junior scholarships through the Belgravia Foundation.
In addition to programming, Geelong’s Lifestyle Access Pass and Ace Society Cameras have modernised the golf experience, while partnerships with local schools and influencers have expanded its reach.
Venue Manager Paul Christie reflected on his club’s nomination “Being named a finalist is a proud moment for our team and a reflection of the inclusive, community-first culture we’ve built at Geelong Golf Club. Our mission has always been to make Geelong the most accessible golf destination in the Bellarine region, whether it’s through our junior scholarships, all abilities clinics, or flexible access programs.
