When it comes to improving our golf game or just having a good time, driving ranges can be a golfer’s paradise. But not all ranges are created equal! Some offer unique experiences, stunning views, or even fun amenities that make hitting balls an adventure rather than just practice.

I haven’t been, but that sounds awesome! What kind of technology do they use for the VR?

The VR setup at Willow Park uses motion-tracking, so it feels super realistic! They even have competitions on the weekends which can be a lot of fun.

I think the best driving ranges also have great amenities. I went to one with a rooftop lounge overlooking the course. Perfect for unwinding after a long day!

Absolutely! A place that has good food and drinks makes a huge difference. Who wants to hit balls on an empty stomach?

11

Err… The food at these places is usually overpriced and mediocre. Can’t believe people are okay with spending so much for a burger at a driving range.

12

I get your point, but a good atmosphere can make a big difference. It’s about the experience, not just the food!

I visited a range with a beach theme in San Diego, complete with sand and beach chairs. It was super chill and brought a different vibe!

14

That sounds incredible! Perfect way to relax after a session. Do they also have beach volleyball, or just golf?

I recently visited Pebble Beach Golf Links in California. The driving range there has incredible ocean views and is just a short walk from the coastline. It’s a bit pricey, but the experience is absolutely worth it!

16

I’ve heard amazing things about Pebble Beach. If you’re looking for a unique experience, I recommend Topgolf in Las Vegas! It has a fun, lively atmosphere and stunning views of the Strip.

You can’t beat the view at the driving range at the TPC Scottsdale. The scenery is breathtaking, especially with those desert mountains in the background. Don’t forget to check out the waterfall feature!

18

Totally agree! The TPC is a solid choice. Also, I loved the innovation at the Barnsley Resort’s driving range in Georgia, where they have a super cool stay-and-play package!

I’m a huge fan of the driving range at Kiawah Island Golf Resort in South Carolina. The views of the marsh and ocean while practicing make it a top-tier experience. Anyone else been there?

Yes! Kiawah is stunning! If you enjoy exclusive services, Galloway National Golf Club has some of the best customer service I’ve experienced. They treat you like a VIP.
