Narrabeen/Northern Beaches Golf Centre possibly closing

[pingping]

Haven't seen anything posted yet about Narrabeen driving range possibly closing. Council is putting the lease up for tender. Any credit stored up needs to be used by the 15th November 2013.

(http://www.northernbeachesgolf.com.au/page.php?pageid=410)Apparently there was a council meeting last Monday discussing the lease. Has anyone else got further updates? Already lost my other driving ranges I frequented, Macquarie Uni, Sydney Olympic Park. Would hate to see another popular range closed.

Geez, that will upset a few on here....

Looks like the current operators are potentially loosing the lease there, but the range itself is not closing down. Virge will be the man in the know with this.

Hahahaha, Virge should buy the lease!

He definately has enough equipment lying around to stock the proshop and then some as well.

I hope the current operators get the lease back. Have no complaints of how they manage the range.

Any developments on this? I'm thinking about making the Thur night pilgrimage this week and am keen to arrive at a range that's open for business, otherwise I'll go to Thornleigh.

See you Thursday.. They are still waiting on a decision.

Business as usual

We're gonna lose the only driving range up here some time in the future. The land is privately owned and the owners have gotten development approval for house blocks. We're gonna be stuffed. Kids get free weekly lessons there, and our clubs driving range is beyond sub par. I haven't been on it for years now, but I'd be lucky to play more than 7i on it.

The gates were locked last Thursday, when I went to catch up with Virge. (I wondered whether it was just closed for Xmas and Boxing Days.)

I tried phoning just now, and it just rung out.

He said Feb 8.....

It has been open for the last few days.

Council rejected all the tenders... not sure what happens now.

Can't be built on, it is a reclaimed tip site....... Will have to be some sort of open space if they choose not to keep it a golf facility.

Refugee processing centre?

Refugee processing centre?

The insular peninsula does not have that kind of thing

Forget those half-arsed Christmas Island attempts.

If they show enough determination to get to the Narrabeen Lagoon boat ramp, then they must be true refugees.
