Review:
Queens Park Golf Club is a good option for families interested in playing golf or introducing children to the sport.
The public driving range is particularly appealing because visitors can practise hitting golf balls without having to commit to a full round.
The availability of junior rates and equipment hire makes the course more accessible for families who are developing their golfing skills.
The scenic location overlooking the Barwon River is another attraction, providing an enjoyable setting for a round of golf.
For younger or less experienced players, a shorter nine-hole round may be a more manageable option than playing the full course.
The main consideration is that golf requires patience, concentration and an awareness of safety around other players.
Families with young children should check supervision requirements and suitable lesson options before visiting.
Overall, Queens Park Golf Club provides an accessible public golfing experience in an attractive part of Geelong, with opportunities for both casual and developing junior golfers.
