One of the most important parts of any golf game is the first shot. Get it right and you’ve set yourself up for a simple short game on the greens. At these Vancouver area driving ranges, you can get your game tightened up so your handicap keeps dropping.
You can get started as early as 8 am and keep swinging until 10 at night, with the last bucket of balls dispensed at 9:30. Once you’ve settled on a time, get set to practice in one of the best driving ranges in Vancouver. There are two tiers holding 80 stalls and you’ll be aiming at various length markers on artificial turf. And, just as in a real game, there are greens, bunkers and water hazards in your path.
On a clear day, you can see gorgeous landscapes for miles and miles, especially if you’re practicing on the second tier. Stalls are covered so you can still drive if the rain hits but with driving range hours from 8 am to 10 pm (9 pm on Sundays), you may just be able to elude the weather. Prices are pretty reasonable for balls and you can always catch an incredible sale, but the best deal comes with club rentals.
Things are pretty high-tech at this driving range — when you line up your shot, you may feel like you’re getting set for kick-off at a pro soccer game instead. The sheltered stalls are heated and the range is well lit, with stately trees on both sides of you. A pro shop is on site if you want to invest in your own equipment, but if not, rentals are fairly reasonably priced.
