Qantas tees off with golf club

Today marks the official launch of Qantas Golf Club, a brand new online club designed to provide Qantas Frequent Flyers with the ability to earn extra points for booking tee times, as well as access to exclusive golf events, tournaments and a range of golf holiday packages.

Qantas Frequent Flyers can join Qantas Golf Club for free, or for the keen golfers, they can subscribe to a Premium membership for $249 annually, giving them additional benefits such as a larger range of golf courses and the ability to obtain an official Golf Australia handicap.

Qantas Golf Club Premium membership will also unlock extras like access to private golf courses normally limited to individual club members and guests.

Members will earn one point per dollar spent on qantasgolfclub.com, while Premium members will score three points.

Golf legend and Qantas Ambassador Greg Norma said any initiative that gives people more golfing opportunities is a winner in his books.

“The members of Qantas Golf Club can play a variety of courses, which helps improve your game. It’s a great boost for golf,” he said.

Qantas Loyalty CEO Lesley Grant said the pre-registration response had been promising.

“Almost 40,000 Qantas Frequent Flyers registered their interest in joining Qantas Golf Club ahead of today’s official launch,” Grant said.

“This reflects the passion for golf our members have and shows how keen they are to earn Qantas Points playing the game they love.”

Even Golf Australia’s CEO Stephen Pitt was on board with the concept, saying it would engage the 800,000 social golfers throughout Australia.

We know the Qantas Golf Club will have a positive effect on the participating clubs through increased foot traffic, rounds played, marketing and future membership opportunities,” he said.

From today Qantas Golf Club members will be able to go online to book tee times and earn Qantas Points for a round of golf at over 45 Australian golf courses, with Premium members able to access over 65.

The courses available will continue to grow over the coming months.
