Driving Range Near Me: Golf Clubs with a Range

To find a driving range near you, start with the golf clubs and golf centres in your area: many UK clubs have a range next to the course, and most ranges are open to anyone, member or not. On Tee Time, the clubs directory has a "Driving range" filter that shows only the clubs with a range in our records, out of the 1,347 clubs you can book a round at. Each club page says whether the club has a driving range and, where we know it, whether its bays use ball-tracking technology.

What you'll find at a golf driving range

A driving range is a practice area where you hit balls from a mat or a grass tee towards target greens and distance markers. Ranges at golf clubs and golf centres usually have:

• Covered bays, so you can practise in the rain, often with floodlights for winter evenings.
• Grass tees in the summer at some clubs, which feel closer to hitting off the course.
• A short game area or putting green nearby.
• A pro shop where you can hire a club and book a lesson with the professional (see golf lessons near me).

Some ranges have ball-tracking technology in the bays. Toptracer and Trackman are the two systems Tee Time records: a screen in the bay shows where each ball went, how far it carried and the shape of its flight. Many of these ranges add games, such as target challenges and virtual golf, which makes a session more fun for beginners and groups. Club pages on Tee Time show "Driving range with Toptracer" or "Driving range with Trackman" where we know the club has one.

How to find a range near you on Tee Time

1. Open the clubs directory and press the Driving range filter.
2. Narrow the list by region, or type a town or club name.
3. Open a club page to see its range, its courses and the next visitor tee times.

Our range records were gathered from public sources and checked in October 2026. Opening hours and prices for a range are set by each club and change through the year, so check the club's own website before you go. Clubs can also update their own range details on Tee Time.

Golf clubs and centres with a driving range

These are some of the clubs with a range in our records, and you can book a round at each one on Tee Time:

• London: Chelsfield Lakes Golf Centre near Orpington.
• The South East: Pedham Place Golf Centre at Swanley and Hoebridge Golf Centre in Woking.
• The East of England: Stockwood Park Golf Centre in Luton.

In our records, the South West has the most clubs with a known driving range, followed by the East of England and the East Midlands. London has fewer, though clubs just outside it in the South East and the East of England add more choice.

How driving ranges usually charge

Most ranges charge per bucket of balls rather than by time, and the price goes up with the number of balls. Many sell a card or an app balance that you top up, which usually works out cheaper per ball if you go often. Bays with ball-tracking technology can cost more, and some ranges sell those bays by the hour at busy times, especially on weekday evenings and at weekends.

For a standard bay you usually just turn up and pay. Ranges with ball-tracking bays often take bookings for evenings and weekends, so check the club's website if you want a set time. Range sessions are paid to the club: Tee Time books tee times on the course, not range bays.

Do you need to be a member?

No. Ranges at golf clubs and golf centres are usually open to anyone. You don't need a handicap or your own clubs: most will lend or hire you a club if you ask in the pro shop. The dress code is more relaxed than on the course, and trainers are usually fine on mats. Children are often welcome with an adult, though each club sets its own rules, so check before you take them.

Making the most of a range session

• Warm up with a few short, easy swings before you reach for the driver.
• Pick a target for every ball rather than hitting as many as you can.
• Spend half the bucket on the clubs you use most on the course: wedges and irons, not only the driver.
• Finish on the putting green if the club has one. Putting is a big share of the shots in any round.

A range also helps before a round. If the club has a range next to the course, arrive half an hour early, hit a small bucket and walk to the first tee warmed up.

From the range to the course

Once you are hitting the ball well, a club with a range is an easy place to play your first rounds. Golf centres are built around visitors, and many have a 9-hole or par 3 course alongside the range for a shorter game. See 9-hole golf courses for a quicker round, and pay and play golf without a membership for courses that take visitors. Booking works the same way at every club, and how to book a golf tee time as a visitor walks you through it.

To see every club in an area, browse golf in the South West, the East of England or the East Midlands, or search by distance from where you are.
