The Hub ‘Tee Off Time’ – Thursday 31st March at 11.30am. There aren’t many views in metro Melbourne that can compete.
There aren’t many views in metro Melbourne that can compete with those from the dining deck at the Kew Golf Club clubhouse. Just imagine what awaits you on the course! This year will mark CCV’s first annual Almost Famous Golf Day at its new home at the finest Yarra has to offer – Kew Golf Club – ranked amongst Australia’s Top 100, the third oldest golf club in Melbourne, and only 15 minutes from the CBD.
It’s been precisely 2 years since the Victorian club industry has had an opportunity to come together in person for an informal day of banter, networking, golf and importantly – remembering what each other looks like! Whether you’re a regular, or not so regular golfer, we’d love to see you there; first-time golfers are most welcome and encouraged.
While the club industry wheel keeps on turning post-lockdown, the lasting disconnection from our mates withing the industry cannot be denied. Some Golf Days seem like just a good excuse to escape the office – and they are – but importantly, CCV’s Almost Famous Golf Day promises a way to touch base with each other and compare overdue notes with your peers and club suppliers in a casual setting (keeping the Kew GC’s smart but discretionary dress code in mind that is.)
As you stroll the fairways, or pass by on the dining deck, be sure to ask our Corporate Partners about the new products and services they’ve been working that are sure to reignite fresh ideas for your club. Or, given the recuperating state of hospitality in Victoria, if you’ve encountered a new problem needing a solution – they’re all ears!
As always, our Almost Famous CCV Golf Day on this a stunning, easily navigable course would not be complete without the usual Almost Famous:
- Showbags for all attendees
- Round of Golf
- Winner Prizes
- Draw Prizes
- BBQ Lunch and Dinner
- Drinks (courtesy of our sponsors Carlton Breweries, Treasury Wine Estates & Coca-Cola)
Rich in its history and traditions, Kew GC prides itself on being a progressive club, welcoming to all. Placing emphasis on relevance to their members, they have vibrant juniors’ programs, membership for men and women of all ages, and a strong commitment to environmental sustainability and vegetation management in the club’s native setting along the Yarra River.
If you’ve never played, or never played at Kew, now is your chance!

For many club patrons across Victoria, FY25 was a year to remember – all thanks to a life-changing Keno win.

In FY25, Keno players across the eastern states of mainland Australia celebrated more than 76 million wins collectively worth more than $1.2 billion.

Laverton woman thanks ‘manifestation magic’ for Keno win
A Laverton woman shared she was left thanking the universe after she scored a $60,000 Keno Classic 8 Spot prize at Club Laverton in the weeks leading up to last Christmas.
“It was a big surprise! Especially coming up to Christmas, it’s perfect!” she cheered.
“Do you want to hear something really funny? I just wrote in my diary the day before winning, ‘Thank you, universe, for my Keno 8 Spot win’. Then it really came true!
“I’m a firm believer in the law of attraction and manifestation, and I love affirmations!
“It was awesome seeing all eight numbers pop up on the screen.
“I’ve had a few wins in Keno over the years. It’s like the stars align for me when I play - it’s my thing!”
Club Laverton manager Gus Alimovski said the team happily shared in the excitement with their major Keno winner.
“What an incredible win for our patron! It’s always great hearing these winning stories, and now we have another one to share with our patrons,” he said.
“We’re thrilled for our customer, and we hope to see more Keno winners in our venue soon.”
All eyes on a winning FY26
Keno’s National Partner Manager Luke Harrison said he couldn’t wait to see which Victorian clubs welcomed the next big Keno winners.
“Last financial year, players at Victorian clubs celebrated some impressive victories,” he said.
“A key highlight has been the growing popularity of Keno’s Bonus and Replay features among club patrons. This trend reflects how venues are successfully connecting with their customers, sharing updates on jackpot increases, promotional offers, and game enhancements.
“When players opt into Keno Bonus, they unlock the chance to multiply their winnings by up to ten times, while the Replay option adds another layer of excitement.
“Many players are still unaware of these features, making it vital for staff to start conversations and educate them on the full range of Keno possibilities!”
Mr Harrison said the solid Keno performance at Victorian clubs last financial year laid a strong foundation for continued success in FY26.
“Clubs across Victoria are embracing fresh approaches to elevate the customer experience, and Keno’s rising popularity is playing a key role in that journey,” he said.
“There’s also a wide array of Keno resources available to clubs, from eye-catching point-of-sale materials to engaging promotions, all designed to keep the game front and centre.
“As the new financial year unfolds, Keno is looking forward to celebrating more big wins for Victorian club patrons, and more success stories for the clubs that host them.”
