Excellent venue across the road from out motel.They do have a courtbus if you need one.
All the meals looked large. They do have half size meals on the menu. The roast of the day was a large serving of pork with gravy and apple sauce. The crackling was quite black and over cooked. Overall I would definitely recommend.

One of the worst dining experiences of my life!
3 out of 4 meals were horrible and the server made us feel uncomfortable/intimidated.

$43 for the worst steak that was over cooked for a second time but didn’t speak up after the man serving us reply to me after I said the steak was cooked medium/well instead of rare like ordered was “what do you want to do about it?” He then proceeded to say it again in an angry manner. The next steak came out again over cooked with cold salty chips and the vegetables consisted of only pumpkin. He then continued to walk by and look at us as if he was ready for some kind of confrontation or as if we should keep our mouths shut. My partner ordered the prawn linguine and was the most bland pasta with a couple of prawns.

I’ve attached a photo of the steak to show what you get for $43.

We have been coming to your venue a few times a year for a long time and this was the first time we’ve had such a bad meal/experience. Looking at other recent reviews, this seems to be a common thread. Hopefully change happens soon.

We headed back to Sporties after doing the Bullanginya Dreaming Luna Light Journey which I highly recommend. The tour went later than planned and Sporties contacted us to confirm our dinner booking was still required which was great. The next day we returned for mini golf which is the best and neatest we have seen. Followed up by lunch and the virtual screen experience. This was on a Sunday and some staff seemed like they didn’t want to be there but this was made up for by the amazing virtual gaming attendant. I didn’t get her name but she single handily made up for the rest. Engaging and nothing was too much trouble. I would recommend a visit to anyone in the area.

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!! Not what I had expected for a small town like Barooga I absolutely had a blast doing the Mini Golf with the kids and then having lunch in the cafe (SELLS LIKE RESTAURANT ALSO A BISTRO). Wow the cafe sells amazing food the pizzas and milkshakes are a must.
The place is lux we tried one of the four simulaters which featured many sports and activities . The mech shop is fab love it featuring Indigenous Cultural Item and your everyday golf gear and more.
The only problem I had was with the bathroom facilities as they are not very clean and are not as modern as the rest of the club love love love it could go on for ever but let’s wrap it up WILL BE COMING BACK AGAIN FOR AURE of you are in Yarrawonga Mulwala just that a twenty minute drive up there you WILL love it✌️✌️✌️
Also a tip for if you are wanting to play the virtual reality gaming simulator call up and check if it is available because if it get busy you have to book

Dinner for 3 on Mother's Day. Booked in for 530pm, not busy. Ordered drinks at the bar first. Older gentlemen bartender, very helpful and pleasant. Showed to our table. Not informed of specials. Ordered meals. A members 3 course meal was ordered. Soup never came, which caused issues with the pricing, as the main and dessert was more expensive than the 3 course meal that was not received in full. The cheesy garlic bread was average, and the garlic bread was even worse. Hardly any flavour of garlic at all. Chicken salad was swimming in dressing. Lambs fry with bacon, and gravy was ok, not a large meal for a main. Lamb roast was ok, but not great. Staff were very apologetic for the soup not coming. The butterscotch pudding was tasty. Overall, the whole experience was very average. Probably wouldn't go back.

not much in area so we stayed
meal was cold, veges were hard under cooked and the sauce lacked any taste and the chicken was over cooked! and hard to chew.
no thanks. we were there for another 3 nights and went over the border for much better meals.

The bistro was quite busy for a Wednesday night. Do NOT order the Roast chicken. Despite far too much onion and enough gravy. There was no flavour and it was really tough. REALLY. It was perhaps like it was boiled. The whole meal was like it was a one pot mix. But it didn't get tender, or tasty. Oh and don't go for the Steak night special. Unless you are a member it's full price. Hint. Maybe a schnitzel and chips. Would be safer. I should have sent it back.

Remove steak from the menu! Steak that was as thin as a piece of paper, fat that ran through the steak which was dryer than the Sahara Desert cooked by someone who is impersonating a chef. I cook better steaks that I buy from Woolworths. I can say that the other food the table ordered was actually quite nice, a genuine 8/10 with fairly priced drinks. Overall it’s a great place for a feed, just stay away from the steaks!
