About

Pro Tips

  1. 1.Book junior lessons in advance as they fill quickly, especially during school holidays and weekends.
  2. 2.Visit on weekday mornings for a quieter experience when the course is less busy and kids can take their time learning.
  3. 3.Rent clubs at the pro shop if you're traveling internationally rather than bringing your own, making travel much easier.
  4. 4.Apply sunscreen generously as the Australian sun is stronger than many international visitors expect, even on cloudy days.
  5. 5.Check if the club offers family packages or beginner rates which can make it more affordable for first-time visitors.
