Set near the shores of Albert Park Lake in Melbourne we are excited to introduce the newly expanded and renovated Melbourne Golf Park, formerly known as Albert Park Driving Range. Featuring architecturally designed timber battens and pergola framing details with planters surrounding the open rooftop. The warmth of natural timber and dark cladding has been selected to compliment the existing landscape and the newly finished mini golf. There is a layered transparency from the city-side entry though to the Southern driving range, with an abundance of light and the surrounding vegetation creating an inviting environment. The improvements made to the existing driving range provide access to all- a central glazed elevator has been added, providing direct access from the ground level entry and cafe to the rooftop bar and upper-level driving range bays that offer stunning views of the Melbourne CBD skyline and Albert Park Lake.
