The Ranelagh Club – a little slice of paradise!

What is a Club?
”It’s an organisation of people with a common interest, who meet regularly and take part in shared activities”.

A range of sporting activities, a wonderful restaurant and spectacular views across Port Phillip Bay, private access to Ranelagh Beach…there’s something for everyone.

Today the Club has membership capacity, 2000 members, who enjoy social, sporting and family activities.  The Club is the venue for a range of entertainment, social and networking events and private functions.  Our membership is diverse, from young families and professionals, to retired couples.  We have members who are very new to the Mornington Peninsula and many who are long-term local residents.

We all have a common interest in our community, a healthy lifestyle and enjoying all that this wonderful part of the world has to offer. The Club has recently celebrated its 96th year of operation.  We are grateful to all member and guests who have made this possible and look forward to reaching 100 soon.
