Set amongst the natural landscape of Flagstaff Hill, this innovative putting course delivers a golf experience unlike any other in Australia.
Designed by Himalayas Golf and installed by GameOn Turf, the 3,252m² facility was carefully shaped to follow the site’s existing contours, incorporating undulating greens, strategic bunkers and challenging hole layouts inspired by traditional golf course design. The result is a destination that appeals to golfers of all ages and skill levels while blending seamlessly into the surrounding environment.
The project features SYNLawn Olympia COOLplus, SYNLawn TeeStrike, and ProBaller White, exclusive to GameON, alongside SYNLawn Comfort Elite 50 — a premium 50mm landscaping turf with multi-toned fibres, textured thatch and exclusive COOLplus™ technology, delivering a natural appearance with a soft, durable and cooler underfoot surface.
Adding to the course’s unique appeal are Australia’s first circular wedge target greens, inspired by the training methods of internationally renowned golf coach Dave Pelz. The completed facility showcases how synthetic turf technology can be used to create engaging, low-maintenance golf destinations that deliver exceptional playability year-round.
