Salthill driving range. Still open?

Lambasted · 10-01-2013 9:25pm #1

Anyone know what the story is with this place? Was under new management a few months ago but now it seems to be closed completely or at least has very limited opening hours. Have been there twice now and closed both times?

Mod Could this be posted in golf forum too?

I'll move it to Golf with a redirect so the golfing peeps in City can follow it.

The driving range was certainly open just before Xmas anyway. I was there and it was very much open. Try Glenlo Abbey either if Salthill has since closed.

I'd say it's just closed as the weather has been so bad. The whole range is probably flooded, so they wouldn't even be able to pick up the balls.

As far as I remember during winter they have select opening hours.

I spoke to the manager yesterday. He said he hoped it would be open by the end of the week.

Obviously the guy who told me that it was closed and that the owner was in NAMA was wrong then.

Let us know when it opens up again.

The range is in Nama as far as I know. But the guy that used to own it, is running it for Nama. There's a lad in there day to day running/managing it. He's the guy I spoke to.

Anyone hear anything since on whether it is opening again? The nets are still down at the back of the range from what I saw at the weekend.

Was told it would be open this week, I've a lesson booked Friday so it better be!
