At that point the works were really only focusing on a new irrigation system and possibly a handful of tees, but the more often we met and talked, the more we realised this wasn’t really going to get the job done. My first meeting with the club and talks around a possible redevelopment started back in 2013 with a coffee and Peter Sweeney, Kingswood’s then president. As difficult as the decision was, the two clubs felt a secure future lay in a merger. All of this in a highly competitive environment where other Sandbelt clubs had significantly higher operational costs which allowed for better course conditions. Cleverly, both clubs were able to recognise the pattern moving forward – slowly dwindling memberships, increasing maintenance costs and, in the case of Kingswood, several boundary problems. The two clubs started discussions around a possible merger a few years prior to formally announcing it in September 2013. Peninsula Kingswood is the first of its kind in Australia – the merger of two proud, established golf clubs, Peninsula Country Golf Club and Kingswood Golf Club, each a century old. This gently undulating sandy strip of ground is the perfect environment for great golf and at the southern tip of this region lies Peninsula Kingswood. More specifically, the little pocket of land in the southeast we know as the Sandbelt. Mike Cocking, OCCM lead architect for the Peninsula Kingswood redevelopment, looks at some of the key design elements that have transformed the North and South courses into some of the best on hte Melbourne Sandbelt.įew cities in the world can boast a greater concentration of world-class golf than Melbourne.
