A new driving range has officially opened at Country Club Tasmania, adding to the North’s already outstanding golf experiences.
The Range is a premier golf entertainment venue, featuring a driving range and 18-hole mini golf course.
Premier Jeremy Rockliff officially opened the new golf experience on Sunday.
“It was a privilege to officially open Northern Tasmania’s newest golfing experience, The Range,” Premier Rockliff said.
“The Range is not only a game changer for the local golfing community, it is also a boon to the tourism and hospitality sector.
“We know one in six Tasmanians jobs are supported by the tourism industry, and this facility has already created nearly 40 new jobs.
“We are delivering for Tasmania by ensuring we have a strong economy and business-friendly conditions.”
The Federal Group is a strong contributor to the visitor economy across Tasmania, including with the $20 million transformation of the Championship course underway at the Country Club.
Managing Director of Federal Group, Greg Farrell, said that the development was the product of Federal Group’s vision to strengthen what they have, and build what comes next.
“The Range features the state’s first multi-storey driving range, state-of-the-art ball-tracking, and lounge-style bays designed for comfort, connection, and friendly competition”, Mr Farrell said.
“Already, in just over seven weeks since opening, well over 800,000 balls have been hit – that’s one every three seconds since opening – making it one of the busiest driving ranges in Australia!
“Just as importantly, The Range has already created more than 40 local jobs, with many of these young people just starting out with their first job, of which we are extremely proud.”
Mr Farrell said the $20 million 18-hole Championship golf course currently under development is expected to completed by the end of 2026.
“The Championship Course will sit among the best in the country. It will be one of only thirteen sand-capped courses in Australia, and will feature eighteen stone bridges that reflect Tasmania’s convict-built heritage, along with two suspension bridges”, Mr Farrell said.
