Royal Melbourne Golf Club has one of the most technologically advanced and well thought-out maintenance facilities I’ve ever experienced. The moment you walk in the electric sliding front door, you know you are in a special place.

Every morning we convene in the break room that easily seats all 80 volunteers with room for more. The break room has two ends, both of which have a dishwasher, sink, instant hot water tap, and enough plates and cutlery to furnish a large cafeteria. The managers use a large projector to help clarify the tasks of the day so the staff members are organized and more efficient.

One glimpse into the equipment storage area and you need to catch your breath. The entire shop and all of its contents/buildings are extremely well organized and promote cleanliness and accountability as carts and equipment are assigned as part of the morning meeting.

The staff locker rooms are ample and the restroom facilities are no different.

Everywhere you turn at the Royal Melbourne Maintenance Facility, you can tell that they left no stone unturned when designing this amazing facility. It really is just one more thing that sets Royal Melbourne Golf Club aside from most other operations.
