MGA is open again. What a relief to be able to hit some ball!
We feel alive again.
The place is great. You need proof of 2 dozes of vaccine though.

Won’t be returning in any rush, Poor quality range balls like they’ve all been run over by a lawnmower. Can’t take your golf bag to the range area, seems quiet pointless only being able to take a handful of clubs…

Didn’t know the no jab no entry was in place. If you haven’t been vaccinated (for whatever reason) go to Sandringham driving range, they don’t have the two tiered society there, for the moment anyway.

It's a nice, quality setup that's good value for money. The putting green looks exquisite but I have never tried it as I'm there for distance clubs. It's a popular place in the evenings but has never been completely full when I've been there. My improvement request would be more distance markets spread across the range.

Really rude female staff member on Sunday night behind the desk... Not happy. I think paying customers should be treated better especially when they're potential long term customers as my 3 yo is supposed to start lessons here next term. Bummer

I have regularly practiced at this centre over several years but today I attended and was most disappointed with the state of the facilities. The fees for the short game have increased 60% (from $5 to $8) and after paying my fee I then discovered that the bunkers were out of play because of some repair work. I understand the need to repair but at… least the customer should be informed before paying. So I thought I could at least work on my chipping. Once again the condition of the "grass" was poor consisting mainly of sand and dirt. It is such a pity that a potentially good practice facility

Amazing venue, staff and driving range. A big shout out to Catherine and Shane that work at MGA. They really go above and beyond. Very professional, organised, flexible and easy to deal with!

Fantastic driving range, i will be back to try out the practice green and the short game area as well. Make sure you try to make it down to one of the demo nights they have every 1st Wednesday of every month.
