Five Iron Golf Mentone – Hospitality Fit-Out Melbourne
Commercial Fit-Out Melbourne | Hospitality & Entertainment Venue
Location: Mentone, Victoria
Project Type: Hospitality Fit-Out & Refurbishment
Delivery: Design & Construct
Associated Projects delivered the Five Iron Golf Mentone fit-out, transforming an existing venue into a high-performance hospitality and entertainment environment.
As part of Five Iron Golf’s Australian expansion, the Mentone site required a commercial fit-out in Melbourne that could align with global brand standards while working within an existing footprint.
This project demonstrates our capability in:
- Hospitality fit-outs Melbourne
- Commercial refurbishments and adaptive reuse
- Design & construct delivery
- International brand localisation
Client Challenge:
Adapting an Existing Venue for a New Format
Unlike a new build, the Mentone project involved reconfiguring an existing space, previously operating under a different format.
Key challenges included:
- Stripping back existing simulator and bar infrastructure
- Reworking layouts to suit a new hospitality and entertainment model
- Aligning international design intent with local building conditions
- Delivering a high-quality fit-out within a live commercial environment context
The project required a practical, buildable approach, balancing design intent with real-world constraints.
Scope of Works: Commercial Fit-Out & Refurbishment
The Mentone fit-out involved a full internal transformation, including demolition, construction, finishes, and joinery.
Key works included:
Demolition & Strip-Out
- Removal of existing floor finishes and bar elements
- Strip back of simulator subfloor and redundant infrastructure
Construction & Layout Reconfiguration
- Construction of new simulator walls
- Application of new finishes to simulator zones
Flooring Installation
- Subfloor preparation and grinding
- Installation of commercial-grade flooring (Tarkett Urban Naturals)
Joinery & Bar Modifications
- Reconfiguration of existing bar layout
- Installation of new acrylic shelving and custom elements
- Integration of branded joinery features
Lighting, Electrical & Signage
- New lighting installation and LED feature integration
- Custom signage including illuminated logos and feature graphics
Finishes & Detailing
- Painting, plastering, and ceiling works
- Tiling and feature surface treatments
Installation of decorative and functional elements
Our Approach: Design & Construct Fit-Out Melbourne
This project was delivered through a design & construct model, ensuring alignment between concept, documentation, and construction.
- Feasibility & Buildability
We assessed the existing site conditions early to:
- Identify structural and layout constraints
- Align scope with budget and programme
- Ensure compliance with Australian standards
- Design Translation
Working from the Five Iron Golf concept, we:
- Adapted layouts to suit the Mentone footprint
- Refined materials and finishes for local availability
- Ensured all documentation aligned with Melbourne commercial construction requirements
- Construction & Delivery
Associated Projects managed the full fit-out, including:
- Coordination of all trades and suppliers
- Site management, safety, and compliance (CM3 & Procore systems)
- Quality control across all finishes and installations
The result was a seamless transformation of an existing venue into a modern hospitality environment.
Designing for Hospitality Performance
The Mentone venue needed to operate as more than just a visual brand space.
The design was built to support:
- High customer throughput and social interaction
- Integration of simulator technology
- Efficient bar and service operations
- Clear zoning between activity and hospitality areas
This ensured the venue performs operationally, supporting both customer experience and staff efficiency.
The Outcome: High-Performance Hospitality Fit-Out in Mentone
The completed Five Iron Golf Mentone venue delivers:
- A premium hospitality fit-out in Melbourne
- A localised version of a global brand experience
- Improved functionality within an existing space
- A scalable format for future site rollouts
This project highlights Associated Projects’ strength in commercial fit-outs, refurbishments, and hospitality construction across Melbourne.
Why This Project Matters for Melbourne Fit-Outs
