FACILITIES

The Club’s facilities include; 3 swimming pools, 2 tennis courts, 4 glass-backed squash courts, gas BBQ areas, air conditioned function hall, 1/2 basketball court and kiosk facility.

SWIMMING

Taylor Range Country Club boasts 3 outdoor swimming pools; a 25-metre pool, an 18-metre pool and children’s wading pool.

The 25-metre pool is solar heated and remains open for use throughout the year. Member families and their guests utilize this pool either for lap-swimming or just to cool off and relax.

The 18-metre pool is the original “Greenlanes” pool. Two gas heaters along with thermal overnight blankets ensure a minimum temperature of 26 degrees centigrade during the winter months.

The children’s wade pool is solar heated to ensure toddlers are comfortable whilst splashing around during the spring and summer months.

All 3 pools are chlorine sanitised and monitored in accordance to strict operational guidelines. This is in order to ensure maximum swimmer comfort.

Pool hours for Members and their guests are from 5.00am to 10.00pm daily during the Spring & Summer. This is reduced to 6.00am – 6.30pm weekdays and 6.00am – 5.00pm weekends during the Autumn & Winter.

There are also plenty of different avenues to play squash at Taylor Range apart from having a hit with your friend?

Social Squash

Every Thursday morning from 9.00am – 11.00am three squash courts are reserved for social squash. This is again free for Club Members and costs just $8.00 for non-Members to attend. Thursday morning players often bring a platter of nibbles each and relax on the function hall balcony on completion of their hit-out (this is social squash at its best).

Every Wednesday evening 2 of the squash courts are reserved for social squash, between 6pm & 8pm. Anybody can come along and play amongst each other. This is free for Taylor Range Country Club Members and costs $8.00 per session for non-Members.

At 8pm on Wednesday nights social squash continues. All players are welcome and costs are as per the earlier session.

For players that prefer a hit at the weekend we also have social squash on a Saturday afternoon 2.00pm – 4.00pm. This session has become very popular and all four squash courts are frequently required for the 2 hour duration.

LEISURE

BBQ Areas

The Club has progressively installed top of the range outdoor gas BBQ units. These have replaced the wood-burning alternative in order to make things as quick and easy for Members and their guests to either cook-up a few snags for a quick lunch, or provide a quality cooking plate for a large group booking.

Usually bookings of up to 4 hours duration can be made as far in advance as you like, providing an ideal location for children’s birthday parties, or family get togethers.

The Club has 4 main gas BBQ areas which are under cover and work on a pre-booked basis. Alternatively there are also a dozen wood burning BBQ’s that are available for ad hoc use outside of any fire restrictions during bush fire season.

Kiosk

As an extra service to Members and their guests the Club offers a variety of snack items from the on-site kiosk.

Food ranges from hot pies and sausage rolls to cake of the day. Also available are drinks (hot and cold), ice creams, and a selection of lollies as well as chips.

FUNCTION ROOMS

Taylor Range has an air conditioned function hall which is available for bookings by Members and non-club members alike. Functions of up to 100 people are permitted.

The Function Hall has become a popular venue for birthdays (no 18th birthday bookings permitted), anniversaries and wedding receptions. The Function Hall bookings are separate from the rest of the club facilities and people attending do not have access to the swimming pools or tennis/squash courts.

Functions are BYO as there is not a licensed bar, therefore anyone wishing to sell alcohol at their function must provide their own licence. Catering can be done by outside caterers or the hirer and there is a large kitchen adjoining the hall.

Function hall bookings for non-members are priced at $375 (discount applies for Club Members). The hall can also be booked for regular use, such as weekly yoga classes. For these bookings rates are calculated on an individual basis.

Corporate bookings are also welcomed, the Club provides tables/chairs as well as a projector and screen for these occasions.
