Question 1

What is Balnarring Driving Range?

Accepted Answer

Balnarring Driving Range is a state-of-the-art golf practice facility currently in development on the Mornington Peninsula. The project includes 16 covered hitting bays with ball tracking technology, automated teeing machines in select bays, a fully licensed café and bar, and a clubhouse — all set on a beautiful 50-acre rural property in Balnarring, Victoria.

Question 2

When will the facility open?

Accepted Answer

We are targeting a mid-2026 opening, subject to final planning approvals and the construction schedule. Registered members will receive regular progress updates and priority access once the doors open.

Question 3

Where exactly is the driving range located?

Accepted Answer

The facility is located on Balnarring Road in Balnarring, VIC 3926. It’s approximately 20 minutes from Mornington, 25 minutes from Frankston, and about an hour from Melbourne CBD via the Mornington Peninsula Freeway.

Question 4

Do I need to book?

Accepted Answer

No. The facility is designed to accommodate spontaneous visits by the general golfing public. Bookings will not be required. However, founding members can reserve a specific bay at a specific time if they wish.

Question 5

How many hitting bays will there be?

Accepted Answer

The range features 16 covered hitting bays, each fitted with premium synthetic turf mats. Ball tracking software with visual digital feedback will help players progress from ball to ball.

Question 6

What is the ball tracking technology?

Accepted Answer

State-of-the-art ball tracking software provides visual digital feedback on each shot, helping you analyse and improve your swing from ball to ball. It’s designed for players of all skill levels.

Question 7

What are automated teeing machines?

Accepted Answer

Select bays feature automated ball teeing machines that place the ball for you automatically. This is particularly appealing for the more mature golfer and allows you to maintain focus on your swing without bending down between shots.

Question 8

Is there food and drink on-site?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. The clubhouse includes a fully licensed café and bar serving locally roasted coffee, fresh food, Mornington Peninsula wines, and craft beers. A viewing deck overlooking the range is the perfect spot to relax before or after a session.

Question 9

Is the facility accessible for people with disabilities?

Accepted Answer

Accessibility is a key design principle. The clubhouse, bays, and pathways are being designed to meet or exceed current Australian accessibility standards.

Question 10

How much does a membership cost?

Accepted Answer

Monthly memberships will start at $150 per month (weekdays), offering unlimited balls on every visit. Casual range fees for non-members are anticipated to be around $30 per 100 balls.

Question 11

Am I committing to anything by registering interest?

Accepted Answer

Not at all. The expression of interest form simply registers your details in the order they are received. When memberships open, you will be invited to view the membership options and choose the one most suited to you — or decline if it’s not for you.

Question 12

How many memberships are available?

Accepted Answer

Monthly memberships will be limited to 100. By registering early, you secure a priority position that you can later accept or decline.

Question 13

Do I need a membership to use the range?

Accepted Answer

No. The facility is designed to accommodate spontaneous visits by the general golfing public. Bookings will not be required. Memberships are for those who want guaranteed bay availability, unlimited balls, and long-term savings.

Question 14

What benefits do founding members receive?

Accepted Answer

Benefits include priority bay booking, unlimited balls on every visit, a founding member plaque in the clubhouse, exclusive invitation to the pre-opening event, and insider updates throughout the build process.

Question 15

Will there be programmes for juniors?

Accepted Answer

Definitely. Junior development is a core part of our mission. We plan to run structured coaching clinics, school holiday programmes, and partnerships with local schools to introduce young people to golf in a fun, supportive environment.

Question 16

Are there programmes for women and beginners?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We are designing dedicated sessions and social programmes for women and complete beginners. The aim is to make the range a welcoming space for everyone — not just experienced golfers.

Question 17

Will the facility host events?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. The clubhouse and viewing deck are designed to host a variety of events — from casual social nights and corporate functions to golf clinics and charity fundraisers. We want the range to be a gathering place for the Peninsula community.

Question 18

How can I stay updated on the project?

Accepted Answer

The best way is to register your interest as a founding member — you’ll receive regular email updates on construction progress, key milestones, and upcoming events. You can also follow us on social media or visit the Updates page on this website.

Question 19

What is the investment structure?

Accepted Answer

We have established a company with 100 units at $60,000 each. The company will purchase the 50-acre property, pay the required Duty and fees, and be left with around $1.0 million to develop the 16-bay driving range and associated facilities. Ten units have already been sold, leaving 90 available.

Question 20

Am I investing in just the business?

Accepted Answer

No. You’re investing in a share of the property which will contain the business — 50 acres of prime rural land with existing improvements including a 4-bedroom home, double garages, a lake, and more. This provides additional security and peace of mind beyond the business itself.

Question 21

How do returns work?

Accepted Answer

Think of the investment working like the share market. A dividend will be paid to shareholders each year from profits made across three income streams (range fees, hospitality, and event hire). The underlying value of the assets will rise or fall in line with the real estate market, traditionally seeing your investment grow over time.

Question 22

How can I find out more?

Accepted Answer

We invite you to make contact by phone, text, or email. No commitment required — we’re happy to have a conversation at any stage. Visit our Investors page or use the contact form to get in touch.
