What types of events do you host?

Accepted Answer

We host a wide variety of events, including birthdays, corporate functions, weddings, and social gatherings. However, please note:

Football breakups are not permitted under any circumstances, for any age group.

Events such as 18th and 21st birthdays, and basketball breakups, are considered on a case-by-case basis, at the discretion of the venue owner.

We are not a “raging party” venue and will not tolerate inappropriate or disorderly drunken behaviour.

Do you accommodate dietary restrictions?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we can make alterations and accommodate guests with dietary requirements. However, please note that we are not a nut-free or gluten-free kitchen, so while we take care, we cannot guarantee zero cross-contamination.

Question 5

Can we bring our own food or alcohol?

Accepted Answer

You may bring your own celebration cake, but we are not licensed for BYO, so no outside alcohol is permitted.

Question 6

How far in advance do I need to book an event?

Accepted Answer

We require a minimum of 2 weeks’ notice for any function or event. This allows us to appropriately staff the function and ensure the kitchen is fully prepared.

Question 9

Is a deposit required to secure a booking?

Cancellations must be made at least 1 week before the event to avoid charges related to food preparation and staffing. If you cancel or reschedule with more than 1 week's notice, your deposit will be refunded in full.

We do allow rescheduling, but this also requires a minimum of 1 week's notice.

Please note:
The deposit is non-refundable if cancellation or rescheduling occurs within 7 days of the event.

Question 16

How early can we arrive to set up?

Accepted Answer

For the Function Room, you may arrive up to 2 hours before the event to set up, subject to availability—this means setup is only possible if no other function is scheduled within that 2-hour window before your event.

Please note: Setup must occur during Driving Range operating hours (10am–9pm daily).

For Restaurant events, setup timing is at the discretion of the venue owner.

Question 17

Do you provide audiovisual equipment or tech support?

Yes, the following curfews apply:
Function Room (Golf Area): Events must end strictly by 9pm, unless otherwise organised with the venue owners.
Restaurant: Events must end by 11pm on Friday to Sunday, and by 9pm on Tuesday to Thursday.

Please note: The venue is located in a residential area, so we closely manage noise levels out of respect for our neighbours. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation in maintaining a family-friendly and community-conscious atmosphere.

Question 19

Can I bring my own vendors (e.g., DJ, florist, photographer)?

Accepted Answer

If you’ve booked a private function, you're welcome to decorate the space as you wish, up to 2 hours before the event.

When it comes to entertainment:
Acoustic sets are preferred over DJs due to noise restrictions.
A decibel limit is in place to ensure a comfortable environment for all guests.
Alternatively, you're welcome to provide a family-friendly Spotify playlist, which we can play through our in-house speakers.

We pride ourselves on being a family-friendly venue, and if any music, entertainment, or vendor service is deemed inappropriate for our setting, we reserve the right to ask for it to be changed, turned off, or for the vendor to leave.

Accepted Answer

Yes, we can accommodate both a ceremony and reception in the same location.
