As you know, we are experiencing an unprecedented public health crisis which has drastically affected everyone’s lives.  We sincerely hope that our members and their families stay healthy and safe.

Over the last few weeks we have made every effort to modify our operations to ensure we meet the requirements so you are still able to play golf at Secret Harbour Golf Links.

As of recent news, a directive in relation to the Public Health Act, 2016 (WA) that the playing of organised sport has been further restricted with “a gathering of two or more people, who do not ordinarily reside at the same premises, for the purpose of participating in sporting activity together”.  The reality of this is golf can only be played in groups of 1, which is not viable for a golf course to operate.  In line with many other golf courses in W.A. we have made the very difficult decision to close the golf course at the end of trading Friday 27th March 2020.

We will be keeping everyone updated with further news and developments.

 

With regards to your membership, please see below: 

MEMBERS THAT HAVE PAID THEIR MEMBERSHIPS
Members that have paid their membership until the end of the financial year, Secret Harbour Golf Links will extend the expiry date of the membership for the period we are closed.  For example if your renewal date is the 30th June 2020 and we are closed for 1 month your renewal will now be the 31st July 2020.

 

Memberships paid monthly:

DEFAULT OPTION: MEMBERSHIP SUSPENSION
As of 28/03/2020, all memberships are placed on hold. To this effect, your membership will remain suspended until such time as we are given direction that allows us to re-open. You will not be charged.

 

OPTION B: KEEP YOUR MEMBERSHIP ACTIVE

 

Given the current state of affairs, I understand this will be an individual decision and we understand and appreciate that everyone’s circumstances are different.

 

To this end, for those who are willing and able, we are extending the option for members to continue their regular membership payment in support of their golf club.

 

In return:
When Secret Harbour Golf Links re-opens, we will credit the value of these payments plus 15% to your food and beverage account.

 

For example, if Secret Harbour Golf Links is closed for 1 month and your monthly payment is $140, upon re-opening, your food and beverage account will be credited $161.

 

 

 NEXT STEPS:

 

There is no need to reply if you choose the default option.

 

If you choose to have your membership keep active please reply with “Option B”

 

Please indicate option B by 3rd April 2020. 

 

If we do not hear from you, your membership will remain on suspension without charge. You may also change your selection at any time by contacting us.

 

Thank you for your understanding and for your continuing support during this difficult time.

 

All of our food, beverage, pro shop, admin, cleaning, maintenance, cart shed and contractor staff are going through similar struggles. Without these amazing people, Secret Harbour Golf Links wouldn’t be what it is today.

We aim to come back stronger than ever and to keep the irreplaceable staff and members at Secret Harbour Golf Links.

 

From all of us at Secret Harbour Golf Links we wish the very best of health to your family and your friends during this time. On a personal note I thank everyone for their support as I know Mitch Roberts, Michael Lee and Sam Lee also do.  Im looking forward to the day we are back at Secret Harbour Golf links playing golf, laughing and enjoying our beautiful facilities.

Again, wishing you and your family to stay healthy and safe.

Sincerely

Ben Sweeny

General Manager
