Club Fitting & Demonstration Days
Buying new clubs is not a decision that is taken lightly and we understand that this is a fun and exciting experience. We have an extensive range of all current models for you to try under the supervision of our qualified PGA Professionals.
The driving range is by far the best place to test and be fitted for new clubs by seeing the full flight of your ball, not just into a net. You will also get the full sound and feel experience so you know exactly how a club performs for you. The Club uses the latest TrackMan technology that will analyse your swing and help us determine the absolute perfect fit for your game.
Our regular demonstration days provide an opportunity to trial the latest equipment. You’ll be able to discuss your needs with the company fitting experts and our Golf Professionals will also be available for advice on choosing products that suit your game and budget.
For further enquiries, please phone the Golf Shop on 02 6240 2250 or email us at golfshop@royalcanberra.com.au.
Practice Facilities
The Club provides Members and guests with arguably the best practice facilities in Canberra. A quality 260m driving range, extensive short game facility with numerous target greens and three practice putting greens, which are all located adjacent to the Clubhouse area.
Members and guests may use their own golf balls or Club practice balls on the putting greens. Only Club practice balls can be used on the driving range and can be purchased from the Golf Shop.
