Each of the 48 bays will have interactive game technology built in, with food and beverage ordering direct to the bay \u2014 a format that tips the facility into social entertainment territory, not just practice. Bays will be bookable, day or night, across two levels.<\/p>\n<p>The new restaurant is being positioned as a destination in its own right \u2014 with indoor and outdoor dining, a grab-and-go kiosk, and menus designed for long lunches and returning visits. It\u2019ll link to the padel courts and driving range, making the whole precinct function as a leisure destination rather than a golf club with add-ons.<\/p>\n<p><img alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1820\" height=\"1024\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" class=\"animate-pulse\" style=\"color:transparent;background-size:cover;background-position:50% 50%;background-repeat:no-repeat;background-image:url(&quot;data:image\/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,%3Csvg xmlns='http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg' viewBox='0 0 1820 1024'%3E%3Cfilter id='b' color-interpolation-filters='sRGB'%3E%3CfeGaussianBlur stdDeviation='20'\/%3E%3CfeColorMatrix values='1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 100 -1' result='s'\/%3E%3CfeFlood x='0' y='0' width='100%25' height='100%25'\/%3E%3CfeComposite operator='out' in='s'\/%3E%3CfeComposite in2='SourceGraphic'\/%3E%3CfeGaussianBlur stdDeviation='20'\/%3E%3C\/filter%3E%3Cimage width='100%25' height='100%25' x='0' y='0' preserveAspectRatio='none' style='filter: url(%23b);' href='data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAPAAALCwsP\/\/\/yH5BAAAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAICRAEAOw=='\/%3E%3C\/svg%3E&quot;)\"   src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/1776155048_20_.jpeg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the four padel courts will be outdoors and open to beginners and social players, not just the already-converted. The function space, with its outdoor lawn and free parking, is targeting weddings and corporate events alongside private celebrations.<\/p>\n<p>The $19.8 million cost is being shared between the City of South Perth, which owns the course, and operator Clublinks \u2014 with the City\u2019s contribution funded entirely from golf course revenue.<\/p>\n<p>City of South Perth Mayor Greg Milner attended the sod-turning alongside Collier Park General Manager Gemma Nicholson. \u201cThis redevelopment will enable Collier Park to become a true community hub, where quality golfing experiences sit alongside dining, leisure and entertainment,\u201d Milner said.<\/p>\n<p>Nicholson was equally excited: \u201cFor our golfers, it means our facilities will match the incredible quality of our golf course and gives us more pathways to grow the game in future generations.
