MEMBERS of Balyang Par 3 Golf Course are teeing off against a plan by the City of Greater Geelong to revamp the Newtown facility, fearing its “unique offering” could be driven off the green.<\/p>\n

The 18-hole course is nestled beside the Barwon River and Balyang Sanctuary and is one of only two “pitch and putt” courses in Victoria.<\/p>\n

However, the sporting facility now faces an uncertain future, as the city seeks to enter a 21-year lease with a new tenant who will transform the site into a “family-friendly, fun, exciting golf product for the long-term benefit” of the community.<\/p>\n

Among the proposed redevelopment concepts for the site are a driving range, mini-golf course, short format golf course, or a combination of different golf facilities.<\/p>\n

For many of its members, Balyang Golf Course is the only course they can play due to age, disability or physical limitations.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

 <\/p>\n

Troy Freeman has been a member of the Balyang Golf Course for about six years, and three months ago launched a petition to protect the site from being replaced with facilities he said were already widely available in the Geelong region.<\/p>\n

The petition has since garnered almost 700 signatures.<\/p>\n

“The biggest concern for me, and for those that I socialise with down there, is that\u2026there is no other facility in or around Geelong that would support them being able to play golf,” Mr Freeman said.<\/p>\n

“An example would be the fact that the place is nice and flat, so people that have, whether it be disabilities or have some sort of mobility issue, really can’t play a full-length course.<\/p>\n

“[Balyang Golf Course] really supports their ability to get exercise, and the social aspect as well.”<\/p>\n

Mr Freeman speculated a driving range would absorb at least half of the space Balyang’s course now occupies, at best leaving room for nine holes.<\/p>\n

“For a lot of people, they probably wouldn’t even bother going down,” he said.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

While Balyang’s members are not opposed to the site being leased to new operators, they believe a renewed approach and some strategic improvements \u2013 rather than an extensive redevelopment \u2013 is the key to ensuring the sustainability of the golf course into the future.<\/p>\n

“Those that actually do or have visited understand how valuable it is to themselves, to their kids, to family members with seniors,” Mr Freeman said.<\/p>\n

“There’s so many people who are not even aware it exists and once it’s gone, they won’t have the opportunity to discover it and appreciate what they stand to lose.”<\/p>\n

City of Greater Geelong chief executive officer Ali Wastie said the city was exploring future options for the Balyang Golf Course.<\/p>\n

“We undertook a community engagement process in August and September this year and will provide the community’s feedback to a councillor review panel in early 2025.<\/p>\n

Ms Wastie confirmed nine responders had requested, and would be given, the opportunity to present directly to the councillor review panel.<\/p>\n

“A decision on the future operations at Balyang Golf Course will be made at that time.”<\/p>\n
