A new golf academy is planned for the 18-hole course which is part of Magenta Shores Resort between Tuggerah Lake and the beachfront on Wilfred Barrett Dr, The Entrance North.
The new single-storey building with basement car parking will be nestled into the existing landscape, similar in design to and sitting lower than the original clubhouse.
A new, small amenities block will be located further south of the proposed golf academy, at the start of the sixth tee, adjacent the maintenance sheds.
The golf academy will provide additional support to golf club members with one-on-one coaching on how to swing and stand with teeing off.
The golf club has operated for the past 18 years as part of Magenta Shores Resort, which also offers direct beach access, two tennis courts, indoor and outdoor pools, a fitness centre and spa facilities for residents and visiting tourists at the resort.
Magenta Shores is a private golf course with access only to members and resort guests and is considered to be a championship course – being voted among the top 30 best golf courses in Australia by Golf Australia magazine.
The development application for the new golf academy and amenities building (3093/2022) can viewed on Central Coast Council’s website and public feedback is open until March 24.
