Golf Driving Range.

Last updated February 2026

**Overview** The McArthur Golf Driving Range in Darwin offers a fantastic opportunity for kids to learn and practice golf in a fun, open-air setting. With plenty of space and a relaxed atmosphere, it's perfect for introducing little ones to the sport or helping them improve their swing. **What to Bring** - Golf clubs (or rent them on-site) - Golf balls (or purchase them at the range) - Comfortable, weather-appropriate clothing - A hat and sunscreen for sun protection - Water to stay hydrated **Best Age Range** Ages 5 and up, as younger children may enjoy the novelty and older kids can start to develop their skills. **Good to Know** The range is open year-round, but mornings are best to avoid the midday heat. There are no food facilities on-site, so pack a snack or plan to grab a bite nearby after your visit. The range is flat and easy to navigate, making it accessible for all ages and abilities. **Nearby** - Darwin Waterfront Precinct: A vibrant area with parks, playgrounds, and dining options. - Darwin Botanic Gardens: A beautiful spot for a family stroll or picnic. - Cullen Bay Marina: A lovely place to enjoy a walk, have a meal, or watch the boats. **Tips From Other Parents** - "Arrive early to secure a shaded bay, especially during the warmer months." - Sarah, mum of two - "Bring a bucket or cart to help your little ones carry their golf balls and clubs." - David, dad of one
