Q: Is this driving range suitable for beginners?

Driving ranges are ideal for new golfers learning the basics in a relaxed environment. Many ranges offer beginner-friendly mats, targets and optional coaching support.

Our floodlit driving range is powered by Toptracer Technology and has 26 covered bays with targets at 50, 75, 100, 125, 200, and 250-yards. The range balls have superior construction, providing golfers with excellent feedback regarding the strike and trajectory of their shots.
