Give Dad the Day He’d Actually Pick
Let’s be honest… Dad doesn’t want another pair of socks. He wants an excuse to get out of the house, hit something hard, and have someone bring him food while he does it. Good news: that’s basically what a Father’s Day golf outing at Swing Factory looks like. Here’s how to actually make the most of it.
Toptracer Bragging Rights
Turn it into a proper family showdown. For the little ones, Angry Birds and Go Fish are games for smashing structures and catching sea creatures to earn high scores. Old enough to actually swing? Line them up against Dad in a Long Drive challenge, a Closest to the Pin comp, or a full Virtual Golf round at somewhere like Pebble Beach or St Andrews, and let the friendly trash talk do the rest. Every shot’s tracked for distance, accuracy, and ball flight, so there’s no arguing about whose drive actually went further.

Mini Golf Levels the Playing Field
Skip the casual round and make it a competition. Adults vs kids is a classic, but Everyone vs Dad has a way of getting genuinely tense. Eighteen holes, no handicaps, and somehow it’s always the nine-year-old who ends up walking off with the bragging rights while Dad’s still working out where it went wrong on hole four. Fair warning: it’s popular on Father’s Day and tends to book out early at both venues, so don’t leave it to the last minute. Missed out? The range is always a solid backup, or you can book a round for the Saturday before Father’s Day.

Good Food, Good Drinks, No Rush
How you eat depends on how you’re playing. Stuck into the range? Order through the QR code at your bay and food turns up without anyone missing a shot. The SF Caddy Tower (arancini, pulled beef brisket sliders, half a kilo of wings) is basically built for grazing between drives. Wrapping up a round of mini golf instead? Head into the Club House for a proper sit down feed once you’re done, then raid the ice cream fridge on the way out… It’s non-negotiable if the kids had anything to do with picking the day’s activities.
Let Him Have His Round
If you’re in Melbourne and Dad’s a keen golfer, skip the small talk and book him a round at Morack. He can play solo, with his mates, or as a proper father-vs-kids match play if everyone’s up for it. No membership needed, just book and play with the option to go 8, 10, 12, or the full 18 depending on how much time and patience everyone’s got. Feeling flash? Grab a cart and cruise the fairways instead of walking them.

Still Need to Sort Something?
If you can’t make it on the day, a Swing Factory gift card is the easy way to still get amongst it. Grab one at the venue or send one online in a couple of clicks, and let Dad decide how he wants to spend it.
