More details of the $19 million makeover set for Fremantle’s public golf course have been revealed, including a 40-suite driving range experience.

Fremantle council ratified a private lease for the lands to Belgravia Leisure earlier this year and the transition came into effect on June 1.

A course makeover is set to begin next year with a new clubhouse, retail space, and food and beverage venue as part of the plan.

More details were released by Belgravia this week, including the development of ‘LaunchPad Golf’, expected to be ready for players by 2026 and hailed by its proponents as the “first of its kind” in Australia.

It will include a multi-level, 40-suite driving range, time slots with unlimited balls and ball-tracking technology.
The city is contributing $3.2m of grant funding to the new grounds.

Director of city business Matt Hammond said the new golfing experiences would make the sport available to more.

“The combination of the entertainment-based golfing experience being delivered by Launchpad Golf and the traditional nine-hole offering being delivered by Belgravia Leisure will make golf accessible and inclusive to a much broader demographic of the Fremantle community and wider metropolitan area,” he said.

During construction, the public golf course will continue to offer a traditional 10-bay driving range and course.

Belgravia Leisure also operates the recently redeveloped East Fremantle Community Park.
