Driving Range Membership

ThunderCat

Lads is there such a thing as driving range membership?? My driving has been nothing short of appalling this last while and ive been going to the driving range quite a bit to sort it out. I think driving ranges are decent value for money anyway so i dont mind shelling out each time but is there a system in place to become a member of a driving range which covers your bucket of balls each time you visit??

Not sure about membership that includes unlimited balls but Fingal Golf Centre have a swipe card system and this will give you a discount on the balls you use. There's 3 different options silver, gold and platinum. I'm not sure of the exact discount on each but the platinum would work out best. I think it's €120 but with the discount, that might give you €140(guestimate) worth of balls.

I joined the GUI Academy at Carton House for €150 for a year and you get everything half price (putting green free)

so if you go enough times (1 or 2 a week say) over the year you will save money

That sounds like much better deal.

Depending where you are, Portmarnock Driving Range (The old one beside the train track) is doing great deal of unlimited golf balls for €8 a go..

I am sure there are loads of places doing deals like this

Fingal's membership gives you access to a putting / chipping green and bunker as well

Cheers for the replys lads. Is Fingals one the driving range beside the airport?? Chipping green and bunkers is a great idea aswell. Ill look into that I think.

Yeah Fingal is next to the airport beside the Coachmans Inn. The short game area membership is separate from the driving range I think but might be worth asking about.

ThunderCat

Ah yea I know the one. Was never in it though, will give it a try. One last question - do they have an area seperate to the bays where you can hit shots off the grass??

Adiaga 2

Yeah, in the "summer" months they have an outside area to the left of the bays where you can hit off grass. It tends to get a bit ripped up but it's not too bad. You could probably use that up until september time.

Is there another driving range in south side Dublin or Wicklow which would have the same value as the portmarnock driving range?

Anyone know what the Driving Range in Kilkenny is like?? Went to Carlows one a few times but they were a little pricey
