Beginner-Friendly Golf Night at Melbourne Golf Park
About the event
Join me for a relaxed evening at the driving range at Melbourne Golf Park in Albert Park. This is a laid-back hit at a floodlit range overlooking Albert Park Lake — no experience needed, and honestly I'm a beginner myself, so we'll be figuring it out together.
We'll meet at the reception at 6:30pm to say hello, then head to the bays around 6:45pm and start whacking some balls. You buy your own bucket of balls (and hire clubs if you need them) at reception, so you can do as many balls as you like at your own pace. The venue says the range is undercover across 40 of its bays, so a bit of weather shouldn't stop us.
This is not a lesson and not a competition — just a fun, low-pressure night out having a swing. If you've never picked up a club before, you're exactly who this is for.
This is a casual social meetup so we can head along together — it isn't run by or affiliated with Melbourne Golf Park. You buy your own balls and any club hire directly with them on the night, and an RSVP here isn't a ticket or guaranteed entry.
Who this is for
• Complete beginners and anyone who's never played golf — no experience or gear needed • Casual players who just want a relaxed social hit • Solo attendees are very welcome — plenty of us will be turning up on our own, so come say hi

Transport The range is at 23 Aughtie Drive, Albert Park, right beside MSAC at the northern end of the parkland, only minutes from the CBD. There's parking on-site, or it's an easy trip by tram/bus if you'd rather not drive — check your route on the night.
Bring
• Your own clubs if you have them (otherwise hire a club or two at reception) • Comfy clothes and closed-toe shoes — there's no dress code, so keep it easy • Water, and a card for balls and club hire

Important notes
• Please swing within your own ability and stay aware of people hitting in the bays around you — follow all venue rules and any staff instructions. You're joining at your own risk and are responsible for your own safety on the day. • The range is mostly undercover, but if conditions look rough on the night I'll post an update — keep an eye on the event page. • If your plans change, please update your RSVP so our numbers stay clear.
