Sunshine Coast Web Design
Golf Club Website Design
Project Brief
Golf clubs run on data.
Results, records, competitions, members. But most club websites bury that data in PDFs, spreadsheets, and static pages that are painful to update and impossible to reuse.
That’s the problem I solved for Cooroy Golf Club.
What I built
A club website where all the important stuff; competition results, honour boards, club champions, hole-in-one records – lives in a proper structured system instead of a filing cabinet of PDFs.
Staff enter data once through simple input fields. The site handles the rest: formatting, display, consistency across every page.
The difference it makes
- Results and records are easy to update – no developer needed, no reformatting
- Honour boards and leaderboards update automatically as data is added
- Nothing is locked in a PDF that nobody can find or edit
- Every piece of content is portable, if the club ever rebuilds the site in 10 years, the data comes with it
Project Highlights
A custom digital scorecard lets players enter scores hole-by-hole in the browser, calculates totals automatically, and emails a summary to the player.
All legacy results were extracted from inconsistent old formats, cleaned up, and migrated into the new structured system.
Custom Course Status – their previous solution was a combination of unnecessary plugins that were difficult to manage. Weather was customised to their location and course status was simplified to a tickbox solution in the back end.
Most small club websites are built to look good on launch day. This one was built to still be manageable five years from now – by whoever’s on the committee.
Frequently Asked Questions
A golf club website needs to serve members, social golfers, competition players, visitors, sponsors and function organisers—often at the same time.
I structure golf club websites around the information people actually need, including course conditions, social golf bookings, membership, competition results, upcoming events, functions, sponsors and course information. The objective is to make the website easier to use while reducing unnecessary enquiries to club staff.
Yes. Your website can be structured to work alongside MiClub, with clear pathways to member login, competition bookings, social golf bookings, results and other club management functions.
MiClub manages much of the operational side of the club, while the main website remains the club’s public-facing marketing platform. It should attract new members, promote social golf and functions, provide important club information and guide visitors into the appropriate MiClub area when required.
Where the required data is accessible, I can develop a process for extracting, cleaning and publishing competition results from SimpleGolf or similar golf management systems.
For Cooroy Golf Club, I created a custom workflow to retrieve results from SimpleGolf, identify the relevant winners and placegetters, remove duplicate events and prepare the information for display on the club’s WordPress website.
The exact approach will depend on the system, the available data and the access provided by the club.
Yes. I build golf club websites using WordPress, allowing authorised staff to manage common updates without editing code.
This can include course conditions, closure notices, news, events, membership fees, competition information, sponsors, photo galleries and other frequently changing content. The editing process is designed to be straightforward, and training can be provided as part of the project.
Yes. The website can be designed around the club’s commercial priorities rather than functioning only as an online noticeboard.
This may include clearer social golf booking pathways, visitor information, membership pages, function packages, event promotion, sponsor profiles and dedicated calls to action. Search engine optimisation can also help the club appear for relevant searches such as local golf courses, social golf, golf memberships and function venues.
The cost depends on the size of the website, the condition of the existing content, the required integrations and the amount of custom functionality involved.
A comprehensive rebuild involving content migration, course information, results, sponsors, events, functions and MiClub integration will require a larger investment than a smaller brochure-style website. After reviewing the club’s current website and requirements, I provide a clearly defined scope and fixed project price.
