Membership Survey Results – September 2017
Maleny Golf Club would like to thank all members who participated in our recent electronic survey to help identify and prioritise key issues facing the club as it continues to develop and grow.
Below is the Executive Summary and a link to the full response analysis.
Executive Summary
1. Respondents – 2 weeks – 25 August to 8 September 2017
There were 94 respondents to the Survey – between 11 and 24 people commented on every question.
2. Themes
Members’ feedback includes many suggestions and useful advice as to how best they can be engaged in the ongoing development of the Club. A couple of themes have emerged for Management Committee attention:
- Clubhouse – to build a positive Club culture a Clubhouse and liquor license is an urgent priority
- Social Golf – more opportunities to play organised social golf (Thursdays, Saturday afternoons) are required
- Volunteer recognition – a good support system for Volunteers to commence and to continue volunteering is needed
- Communication – members want to be engaged and updated on Club directions, programs, finances and projects – we are at the stage of not only building a Golf Course, but building a Golf Club – quarterly updates and member engagement on committees
- Course rating – when the 12 holes come into play, the course rating/hole sequence for 12/18 hole comps is a priority.
3. Recommended action – next steps
The incoming Management Committee, after the AGM (27 September) will address the above issues. In the meantime: –
• Members wishing to participate in the next stage of the Club’s development are encouraged to join relevant committees
• The Business Development Committee will be facilitating a group of people to progress the Club House project
• An application for owner’s consent, temporary Club House status and a restricted liquor permit is in process
• The Management Committee will undertake a Member Survey annually in September.
