Discover Driver: Parks and Golf

Driver can be explored through a few clearly defined leisure interests: open spaces, golf in a club setting, and mini golf. Open spaces include President Park and Reg Hillier Park; at Palmerston Golf and Country Club, the areas mentioned are split between Driver and Durack. Palmerston Mini Golf Course is an 18-hole mini golf course in Driver. These distinctions give your planning concrete reference points. First consider which places or format you would like to include; then you can choose where to stay more deliberately. If you are travelling together, it helps to consider your fellow travellers’ different interests separately at first, then compare them with the location details.

Open Spaces in Driver

Open spaces in Driver include President Park and Reg Hillier Park. The access point for President Park is Driver Avenue; the access point for Reg Hillier Park is Lorna Lim Terrace. The street names provide practical guidance when distinguishing the two park destinations on a map or including the relevant access point in your plans. New playground equipment was planned for President Park in 2025. The planned equipment is for this park; if playground equipment is important to your travel plans, check the current status before visiting.

Golf: Club Course and Mini Golf

At Palmerston Golf and Country Club, the clubhouse and back nine are in Driver; the front nine are in Durack. The club is therefore split between two location references, a relevant distinction if you want to include a particular area in your plans. Driver is also home to Palmerston Mini Golf Course, an 18-hole mini golf course. The options differ both in format and location. When comparing them, you can first decide whether you would rather include the club course or mini golf; then consider which specific location suits your plans.

If you are travelling with several generations, everyone does not need to have the same focus. You can set aside an open space for part of your plans while also finding out whether others would rather consider club golf or mini golf. The different formats and location details provide concrete points of comparison.

Choose Accommodation Based on Your Planned Stops

If the parks or mini golf course are central to your stay, you can use Driver as the search location for a hotel. Compare the hotel’s exact location with the places you want to include in your plans. If you are interested in Palmerston Golf and Country Club, also consider the split between Driver and Durack when choosing a hotel. If the front nine are the deciding factor for you, include Durack as a location in your accommodation plans. This way, your search is guided by the part of the course you want to visit rather than its name alone.
