Golf club and footy team set new trend

If there ever was a perfect marketing marriage, Parkwood International Golf and Function Complex and the National Rugby League’s Gold Coast Titans, have found it - Club Parkwood – home of the Aquis Gold Coast Titans.

The two sports giants has signed a unique ten-year partnership agreement that will see the rugby league team relocate to Parkwood International’s golf complex at Parkwood on the Gold Coast next year.

Parkwood International managing director Luke Altschwager said Parkwood would soon undergo a major transformation, complementing the existing golf course with the construction of a multi-million dollar fully integrated sports and leisure precinct, boasting facilities to rival any similar complex in the country.

“It will have everything a professional football club has, including a brand new health and medical building offering a complete range of services involving sports science, yoga studio, as well as access to the very best in relaxation and sports massage practitioners,” Mr Altschwager said.

“So, there will be physiotherapists, medical doctors, orthopaedic doctors and everything medical,”

“As well as providing a modern office environment for staff, players will have access to indoor training courts, aqua therapy, a fully equipped gymnasium, altitude chamber, and dedicated change room facilities.”

The old Parklands Showgrounds sports centre, which once attracted 100,000 visitors annually, will also relocate to Parkwood International.

Blueprints of the new precinct include a vast indoor sports centre where the community will be able access a full range of indoor cricket, soccer and netball activities, while the 25 metre 3 lane lap pool will offer learn-to-swim classes with separate hydrotherapy baths.

“I believe it’s a great fit for the Titans because Parkwood International has been building a community hub around the club with over 8000 members already.”

“We will remain a traditional golf club that already has things like yoga, a golf course, driving range, mini-golf, sports bar and wedding pavilion.

Mr Altschwager said golf, however, would remain the heartbeat of the property.

“’Our new indoor golf centre with state-of-the-art simulators will allow everyone, from beginners through to pros, to hone their skills on some of the best courses from around the world without leaving the Gold Coast,”

“We still have our state-of-the-art teaching facility, retail store, Footjoy shoe fitting facility, golf club fitting facility, golf course, driving range and mini-golf,” he added.

“So, the basic philosophy of the property won’t change,”

“All it means is we will be a multi-faceted, fully licensed, community club with an exceptional range of bars, restaurants, lounge and gaming areas, together with function facilities to cater for all occasions,”

“But without doubt a major feature of the new precinct will see Parkwood become the permanent home of the Aquis Gold Coast Titans, delivering facilities at the cutting edge of innovation, sports science, and professionalism in the National Rugby League competition.”

The project is expected to break ground next month, with an aim to complete the entire development by August 2016, however, construction will be staged sooner in order for Titans to move in as early as possible in the 2016 season.

Interesting Ben, but the Titans are pretty ordinary footy club.

Wow, I thought this had all fallen over, the deal was done so long ago, good to see it going ahead. Before this the Titans were training at a local school. Luke is certainly creating something different, first the minigolf, then the health centre, now this.
