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 over 1700 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 it’s 95th year of operation.  We are grateful to all member and guests who have made this possible and look forward to reaching 100 soon.

Applications must have two current financial members as proposers before submission to the Club’s committee for approval.

Our Members

Without engaged and pro-active members we would not have a viable organisation or community.

Every member should be a passionate, ambassador and steward of the Club, proud of their membership and the Club, the standards and rules to be upheld, the assets they use and pro-actively defensive of any event that erodes the value of their membership.   We invite all members to strengthen their relationship with the Club based on these principles.

Club Entry

Please remember to bring your gate access card to the Club for entry.  Access cards are not transferable and must not be passed on to other members, family or friends.

Club Safety

Parents and guardians please ensure your children are supervised at all times.  We certainly want the kids to enjoy our Club as much as possible but just make sure that they are supervised. There are plenty of dangerous temptations for kids to explore on our grounds and though warning signs prevail – especially about climbing hills and grassy areas they shouldn’t! – kids are prone to test them out.

With your constant assistance and diligence, we can rest a little easier when enjoying the facilities.  Remember safety is everyone’s responsibility.
