Redevelopment Update - August Range Netting Installation

Posted on July 10, 2025

Collier Park Re-Development Update – Driving Range Closed Temporarily from Mid-August to Install Brand New Safety Netting 

As you know, exciting changes are coming to Collier Park over the next couple of years! We’re getting a head start now with new safety netting. 

From Monday 11th August, our driving range will be closed for approximately 8-10 weeks as we install brand-new safety netting. Our goal here is to get a head start before our full redevelopment gets approved and underway.  

We appreciate this may be an inconvenience in the short term, but it marks the exciting beginning of our big transformation of Collier Park.  

Why is this Closure Awesome?  

Short-term pause < Long-term gain 

• This is an exciting first step in our major venue redevelopment. We are building a new double-story driving range with tech in every bay, which will require an upgrade to our existing safety setup. In short, extra height on the range means extra safety fencing is required!  

• The next step is awaiting for all formal approvals, permits and construction contracts to be finalised before we start building the main facility. We’ll keep you updated on this progress.   

• Once the full range is complete, you’ll get to enjoy a world-class driving range experience, catering to serious Golfers and beginners alike! 

Shift your focus to your short game 

• Now is the perfect time to sharpen your skills around the green. Our short-game facilities will still be available for you to enjoy, so make sure you work on this area of your game for a while to really lower your scores! 

Take your practice to the course 

• If you’ve been working hard on the range, use this time to hit the fairways and see it all come together! There’s no better test than a round of Golf! 

Additionally, as our Range won’t be available during this time, we’ll also be closing the venue 30 minutes after sunset each evening. This will not interfere with your Golf rounds or Twilight but will see an earlier closure on Mini Golf and for the rest of the venue.   

Our opening hours will be available on our website and on google.  

FAQ’s – Let us answer your burning questions.  

When will the range be closed? 

The range will close from Monday 11th August and is expected to re-open by mid-late September, depending on weather conditions and construction timelines.  

We will continuously provide updates throughout this time.  

What’s happening during the closure? 

We’re installing new poles and netting to support our future double-story range, which is part of our wider Collier Park redevelopment.  

Is the rest of the venue open?  

Absolutely! All 27 holes will still be in play, as will our mini golf course, our short game facilities, our golf shop and our cafe. Please just follow our directional signage and keep an eye out for construction workers onsite.  

Will the opening hours of the venue change? 

Venue closing hours will be impacted with planned closures 30 minutes after sunset every night. During Winter our foot traffic is much lower than normal and will be especially so while our range is closed. We will take this opportunity to give our staff a break! 

This will NOT impact Golf rounds or Twilight. However, Mini Golf will be closed earlier than our usual 8pm closing during this time.  

Can I still book a lesson? 

Our coaching team will continue lessons on most occasions, either taking you on course or using our short game facilities. For all availability, please visit our lesson bookings page.  

Will construction impact the course? 

We don’t foresee any reason for construction to impact your Golf rounds, but if any changes arise, we will communicate this as early as possible. And as always, please follow the instructions of our team on the ground and look out for construction vehicle pathways which will be clearly signed for your safety.
