Super Tuesdays!
Calling all SuperGold card holders!
For those aged 65+, on every Tuesday during August, 18 holes of minigolf and a bucket of 50 balls will each cost $10pp.
So if you’re looking for a great value way to stay active and socialising during these colder winter months, grab some friends and come on down to the Iron Yard on a Tuesday for a laugh (and maybe a hot drink at The Hidden Cafe afterwards).
We appreciate all of your feedback! It’s helping us to shape the business and improve our services to ensure you have a great experience. Thank you for being a part of our journey as the Iron Yard evolves.
We hope to see you again soon!
