Correction (10 October 2026): an earlier version of this page listed places and details we could not stand behind. It has been rewritten from scratch: every place below was confirmed at two independent sources on 9 October 2026.
Weekends go better when the plan starts with the cost. This page covers five places: a golf course, a shopping centre, two cafes and a country club. Four are in Lilydale, and Chirnside Park Country Club is just over the line in Chirnside Park, so the list is in and around Lilydale.
We could not find published prices for any of the five, so this page prints none and tells you where to ask. Hours appear only where a named listing gives them, and we say whose listing it is. Each place was checked against at least two independent sources.
The quick picks
| If you’re after | Head to | Where |
|---|---|---|
| A round of golf | Gardiners Run Golf Course | 130-132 Victoria Road, Lilydale |
| Weekend shopping centre stop | Lilydale Marketplace | 33 Hutchinson Street, Lilydale |
| Cafe stop with AGFG hours | Hutch & Co. | 249-251 Main Street, Lilydale |
| Sunday-open cafe, own-site hours | Gracious Grace Cafe | 35 Castella Street, Lilydale |
| Friday live music in the lounge | Chirnside Park Country Club | 68 Kingswood Drive, Chirnside Park |
Gardiners Run Golf Course — 130-132 Victoria Road, Lilydale VIC 3140
OpenStreetMap tags Gardiners Run Golf Course at 130-132 Victoria Road, and the course’s own site gives 132 Victoria Road, so the two sources agree on where it is. We could not find a published green fee or opening hours on the pages we read, so this page gives neither. It is the one outdoor, play-it-yourself plan on the list.
Free first: we found no fee to quote, so ask the course what a first visit costs before you plan the rest of the day.
Lilydale Marketplace — 33 Hutchinson Street, Lilydale VIC 3140
Lilydale Marketplace is a shopping centre at 33 Hutchinson Street, and both OpenStreetMap and its own site give that address. The only hours we have are OpenStreetMap’s opening_hours tag, which may be out of date: it reads 09:00 to 17:30 on Saturday and 10:00 to 17:00 on Sunday. The centre’s own site shows different times for some days, including Saturday, so confirm on the day.
Rain backup: a shopping centre is the usual indoor fallback, but check the centre’s own site for hours first.
Hutch & Co. — 249-251 Main Street, Lilydale VIC 3140
AGFG’s listing for Hutch & Co. at 249-251 Main Street gives hours of 7:00 AM to 3:00 PM Monday to Friday and 8:00 AM to 3:00 PM on Saturday and Sunday. That is an owner-maintained directory and the cafe’s own site is undated, so confirm before you go. AGFG lists Alfresco Dining, Child Friendly, Vegan Options and Takeaway for it.
Get there: the cafe’s own site gives 251 Main St, so search that address in the PTV planner for your route.
Gracious Grace Cafe — 35 Castella Street, Lilydale VIC 3140
Gracious Grace Cafe’s own site lists Monday to Saturday 8am to 4pm and Sunday 9am to 4pm, at 35 Castella Street. AGFG lists Breakfast, Alfresco Dining, Child Friendly, Vegan Options, BYO and Takeaway for it. The site carries no recent date, so check the hours before a Sunday trip.
Plan it: a Sunday opening of 9am on its own site makes it an easy first stop before the shops or the golf.
Chirnside Park Country Club — 68 Kingswood Drive, Chirnside Park VIC 3116
Chirnside Park Country Club, at 68 Kingswood Drive in Chirnside Park, lists its hours on its own site as 9am to 10pm Monday to Wednesday, 9am to 12am Thursday to Saturday and 10am to 10pm Sunday. OpenStreetMap carries the same address. The club’s site says it offers free live music to members and guests in the lounge on Friday nights throughout the year.
Rain backup: the club’s site puts the Friday live music in the lounge, which makes it an indoor option.

How we checked
We checked every place on this page against at least two independent sources on 9 October 2026: OpenStreetMap, the places’ own websites, lilydalemarketplace.com.au and the Australian Good Food Guide. We copied no menu prices from these places’ own pages, so this page prints none. Menus, prices and opening hours change, so check with the venue before you go.
