Legal case turns driving range into chipping range
February 7th, 2010 by Doogs
Plenty Views Golf Park located in Plenty in Melbournes North East used to be a busy driving range on weekends, most bays were full with all types of swings on display, the driver being the most used club. The driving range also has a great cafe with wood fired pizza and work had been underway to finish a bar area as well
That was all until last year when new neighbours moved in, and took offence to the number of golf balls landing in their backyard (well away from the house!), buyer beware you would think. However the buyer took the owners of the driving range to court, and won!
Suddenly the whole business plan for the driving range was thrown on its head, unable to allow balls to be hit next door, they have turned the range into a short game target golf range, and are also adding a Zorb park (those huge balls that you climb inside and roll down the hill
We took our kids and a handful of short irons to have a hit, the kids loved the short game targets, however the owner said that 90% of golfers were walking away as they couldnt hit drivers! So he is now targetting familys and kids in a dramatic change of customer, thanks to the new neighbours! Hopefully it all works out, or the neighbours move on!
Plenty Views Golf Park and ‘Sfear factor‘ Zorbing is located at 206 Yan Yean Road, Plenty.
