An inferno has torn through the clubhouse at a popular public golf course, completely gutting the single-storey brick building.
Fire Rescue Victoria (FRV) responded to multiple reports of a fire at the Bundoora Park Public Golf Course at about 10pm on Saturday, November 7, with crews arriving to find the 20 x 20m clubhouse fully engulfed by flames.
No people were reported to be in the building on Plenty Road at the time of the fire.
It took firefighters about two hours to bring the blaze under control, with FRV remaining on scene overnight to fully extinguish the fire.
The cause of the fire is yet to be determined, but FRV specialist fire investigators, including an arson chemist, will attend the scene on Sunday.
“I work at the golf course and the pro shop has been burnt down, completely gone,” one person said on social media.
“We heard 2 big bangs from Mill Park,” another person said.
“Oh no I am so sad about this. I love it at Bundoora Park,” one person commented.
