About Albatross Access
The elegant solution for preserving golf traditions while embracing the digital age.
Our Story
Albatross Access was born from a simple observation: prestigious golf clubs were increasingly frustrated with third-party platforms that circumvented their traditions and standards, while genuine golf enthusiasts found it challenging to access these magnificent courses.
Founded in 2023 by William Watt, an avid golfer with a background in technology and premium experiences, Albatross Access was conceived as a solution that would respect golf's rich traditions while bringing visitor management into the digital age.
We began by consulting with directors and managers at Australia's most prestigious clubs, understanding their unique challenges and requirements. What emerged was a platform designed first and foremost to serve clubs' needs while creating a pathway for passionate, qualified golfers to experience these exceptional courses.
Today, Albatross Access is the trusted digital concierge for exclusive golf clubs across Australia, with a growing international presence, connecting the world's finest courses with discerning golfers who value and respect the unique heritage of each club.
