Member invitation · First event March 2027 · Gold Coast

Business gets done out here.

By application only. One day a month for owners and CEOs of businesses turning over $3M+ or with 20+ staff: a sharp guest speaker, then 18 holes in a new group of four, drawn fresh every month so you play with different owners each time. Capped at 72 members.

Apply for a Foundation placeSee how the day runs

Why we exist

No boardroom table.No stale sandwiches and small talk.No two-hour slide deck.

The best deals, hires and ideas rarely start in a meeting room. They start on the fairway, in the cart and over a drink at the 19th hole. Fairway Forum is one day a month built around that fact: a topic worth your time, a round worth leaving the office for, and a new group of four every month, so over a season you've played with the whole room, not the same three people.

One day a month to invest in

Your business

Sharper strategy, better people, stronger numbers. Ideas you can take back to the office on Monday.

Yourself

Grow as a leader alongside people who make the same calls, carry the same risk and get it.

The day

Morning sharp.Afternoon on the course.

  1. 9:30

    Big idea

    A guest speaker on the month's theme. Thirty minutes, no fluff, built to start conversations.

  2. 10:00

    Members' questions

    Thirty minutes on the questions in your own business, put to the speaker and the room.

  3. 10:30

    Network and discuss

    Grab a drink and get into it. Talk through the topic and your own business with other members, so you know a few faces before lunch.

  4. 11:00

    Lunch

    Quick, relaxed, and the conversation keeps rolling.

  5. 11:30

    Tee offShotgun start

    18 holes in a group of four that's drawn fresh every month. Different owners, different industries, each event. The topic comes with you.

  6. 16:00

    19th hole

    Drinks, the best ideas of the day, and the follow-ups that turn into business.

Times are approximate. The day starts around 9:30 and each event's invitation confirms the details.

One topic. From the stage to the fairway.

Every member leaves with ideas to use and three new relationships that already have a head start. Next month, three more.

Less sitting.More doing.

The program

A new conversationevery month.

  2. 02

    Investments

Who's in the room

72

members. Capped, not a target. One full shotgun field: 18 groups of four. Zero sales reps. When the field is full, the waitlist begins.

It starts with 24 Foundation members in 2027, and those places are going quickly. Every place is by application and interview, and not every application is accepted.

Minimum requirements

Owners, founders and CEOs of businesses turning over more than $3 million a year or with 20 or more employees.

  1. 01

    Decision-makers only

    Owners, founders and CEOs. Nobody sent in their place.

  2. 02

    Established businesses

    Your business turns over more than $3 million a year or has 20 or more employees. It keeps the conversation between people carrying the same weight.

  3. 03

    Every handicap welcome

    Scratch or hacker, it doesn't matter. It's about getting out there.

  4. 04

    A new group every month

    You never play with the same three people twice in a row. Groups are drawn fresh each event to mix industries and keep competitors apart, so by the end of the season you've played with the whole field.

  5. 05

    The same room all year

    The members don't change, only your playing partners do. Trust compounds. By event three you're doing business, not swapping cards.

Peers, not prospects.The room is the product. We protect it.

Questions

Before you apply.

01Do I need to be a good golfer?

No. Every handicap is welcome, scratch or hacker. The round is about getting out there with the group, not the scorecard.

02Who can join?

Owners, founders and CEOs of businesses turning over more than $3 million a year or with 20 or more employees, by application and interview. Membership is personal, so the decision-maker is the member. It's capped at 72, and once the field is full new applicants join a waitlist. If you can't make an event, you can send someone from your business in your place up to twice a year.

03Who will I play with?

A different group of four every month. We draw the groups fresh for each event, mixing industries and keeping direct competitors apart, so across the season you play with the whole membership rather than the same three people. The speaker session, lunch and the 19th hole are with the full room.

04Will I be grouped with a competitor?

No. Groups are redrawn every month to mix industries, and we keep the membership balanced, so no group is stacked with competitors.

05What does the membership fee actually cover?

Everything on the day: 18 holes with carts, the guest speaker, the members' questions session, and food and drinks from arrival to the 19th hole. It also covers your exclusive Fairway Forum polo, personalised with your name and presented at your first event, member pricing on hardware, two guest invitations a year and your place at the Annual Swing, including golf, food and drinks, your own room and the closing dinner, funded as you go through the season. Flights for the Swing are the only thing you book yourself. All prices are plus GST.

06How does the Foundation offer work?

Foundation pricing applies to the first 24 members only. They pay $680 a month plus GST, which is 20% off standard membership, for as long as they stay. Once the 24 Foundation places are taken, membership is $850 a month plus GST. Places are confirmed in the order interviews are held, so the sooner you book, the better your chances. Membership is billed over 10 months of the year.

07How do I pay?

Two months up front when you join, then monthly direct debit.

08Where and when does it happen?

Our home course is on the Gold Coast, with guest courses through the year. The first event is in March 2027, and the season runs to nine monthly events plus the Annual Swing: three nights and two rounds somewhere worth travelling for. Each day starts around 9:30.

09Can I bring someone along?

Yes. Bring a client, colleague or prospect to two events a year. It's included in your membership.

10How do I apply?

The interview is a fit check both ways: who you are, what your business does and turns over, and who else is in the room.

Sponsorship

Backed by peoplewho get it.

Fairway Forum runs on a small group of partners who make every event better and every membership worth more. Each partner stands in front of the same room of up to 72 owners, founders and CEOs of businesses turning over $3M+ a year or with 20+ employees, month after month, and the groups are redrawn every event, so your people play alongside different members each time. A handful of positions remain for 2027, and members hear about them first.
