Read the latest update on the Outta Bounds project here, from February 2024
Work is about to commence on a new multi-million-dollar, cutting-edge golf entertainment venue in Perth’s southern suburbs.
Just 15 minutes from Perth CBD, the ‘Outta Bounds’ golf facility will replace the existing driving range and practice ground at Murdoch Pines to deliver what promises to be a cutting-edge game improvement and golf entertainment experience.
Phase one of the redevelopment will comprise a 17-bay automated driving range, six Foresight Sport indoor simulators, a high-performance fitting centre, a PuttView putting green, as well as dining options and additional leisure activities.
The range will incorporate Inrange ball-tracking technology in every bay, while a limited number of high-performance bays will offer club face tracking technology to aid in game improvement for elite players.
On top of that, Outta Bounds will become one of the world’s first facilities to benefit from a new partnership between Inrange and Foresight Sport to provide a more immersive range experience that captures a wide range of player data – including smash factor, spin, launch angle, ball speed and swing speed – and can be accessed via interactive technology in each bay and on mobile devices.
Gamification options on the range will also feature interactive targets and longest-drive contests, while the indoor simulators will offer players access to 80 global golf courses, including iconic layouts at Pebble Beach, Saint Andrews, Doral, Congressional, Kingsbarns, Royal Birkdale and Carnoustie. Indoor golf leagues will be run twice a week.

The brainchild of PGA pro and Murdoch Pines Driving Range GM Nicholas D’Avoine, work is due to begin on Outta Bounds in mid-May with the facility set to open its doors to the public in late November.
D’Avoine believes Outta Bounds has the potential to win the hearts and minds of non-traditional golfers, as well as providing everything elite amateurs and professionals could need to improve their games.
“This will be Perth’s first true golf entertainment driving range,” D’Avoine told GolfWA. “It will combine elements of popular enterprises like Topgolf and X-Golf under one roof in a fun, friendly and relaxing environment.
“The technology we’ll be using will empower new players to immerse themselves in the game in a variety of accessible, fun formats while enabling elite players to hone and improve the fine points of the game.”
