Cranbourne Golf Course, owned by the Cranbourne Country Club (CCC), has been listed for sale after 70 years of operation.
Peter Sagar and Paul Callahan of LAWD have been exclusively appointed by the CCC to sell the property via an expressions of interest campaign, with Patrick McNulty and Tom Byrnes of Charter Keck Cramer acting as transaction advisors.
The property has been utilised as a golf course since 1954 when the Cranbourne Country Club established a club that welcomed golfers of all backgrounds and religions in response to the exclusion of Jewish players from private clubs at the time.
The net proceeds of the course sale will be placed in a foundation to assist Jewish communal projects and organisations.
The course comprises approximately 70.4 hectares of residential-zoned land and has over 1.7 kilometres of dual road frontage onto Glasscocks Road and Huon Park Road, providing “existing connection to all infrastructure and offering prospective purchasers the opportunity of acquiring a ‘ready-to-go’ infill development site of scale”.
A spokesperson of CCC said the property represented the last remaining site of its scale in the Casey area with no other competition of relevance expected, creating a unique offering.
“The Cranbourne Golf Course presents a viable solution to assist the Victorian Government’s aim of providing 800,000 homes over the next 10 years,” they said.
LAWD senior director Peter Sagar said this property offered maximum certainty on delivery, which was critical for all major developers.
“Whilst there is sadness in the closure of the Cranbourne Golf Club, we look forward to the opportunity to assist so many in need within our community,” said CCC president Brad Wein.
The sale followed the Cranbourne Golf Club’s merger with Huntingdale Golf Club into a redeveloped course at the latter’s site in Oakleigh South in 2022.
The merger was said to be completed in late 2025.
