Swing City aims to open in Narrabundah by late 2026

Canberra's golf centre is being rebuilt as Swing City, aiming to open by late 2026.

The Narrabundah golf facility is getting a full makeover. Swing City plans to open by late 2026.

The venue will have a renovated clubhouse, bars, bistro, function rooms, an 18-hole pitch-and-putt, 18-hole mini golf, and an interactive driving range with ball-tracking and gaming technology. The venue will also have pool tables, yard games, table tennis, an upstairs function room, alfresco dining and a kids' party area.

The driving range already has radar technology. It measures spin rate, launch angle and ball flight to one per cent accuracy.

This is a big step up from the old facility. The first-stage upgrade opened last September.

Ownership group Mulpha-Swing City is now investing significantly into the clubhouse and adjacent premises to finish the complex. It will be the largest Swing City venue in Australia.
