Chally back on track

2026 is looking up for Ararat’s Chalambar Golf and Bowls Club, with members agreeing to a plan to allow the club to continue operating as part of a merger with a private operator. The club has been in administration for over 12 months owing more than half a million dollars to several creditors including the Australian Taxation Office and GWMWater. 156 members attended a meeting prior to Christmas and unanimously supported the joint venture with newly formed entity Mad Golf Inc. Mad Golf was set up by former Ararat resident Adam Haddow and his husband Michael Combs as an entity to manage and redevelop the golf club.
