OUR POINT OF DIFFERENCE
Centenary Park Golf Course prides itself on promoting an inclusive environment for people with disability in golf. Our vision is to offer the experience of golf to all people – no matter the level of physical, sensory or intellectual ability and to make golf the most inclusive and accessible sport for everyone to enjoy.

Facility Accessibility
Access to the Golf Shop is via a wide paved pathway from the carpark with ramped access to the Golf Shop and Cafe, and access to the outdoor deck is available via an internal door in the Golf Shop. Internal toilets have ambulant grab rails and ramps installed in the hallway to navigate steps down to the toilet area. The Golf Performance Centre (where lessons and clinics take place) and the Driving Range are also accessible via a wide paved pathway. There is a slight hill to this area so electric chairs and/or the aid of additional people power would be of help! The friendly team in the Pro Shop can also assist with transport up to the driving range, just give us a call or visit us in the shop.
