What is the BEST driving ranges in the country?

[canada]

I've been there a couple of times, and it is great. They have canopies that cover their grass allowing you to practice on real turf in the shade and when its raining. They also have all that you could wish for in a short game area and learning center.

Top Golf in Virginia.

The favorites from my travels...

 

Kinloch Golf Club near Richmond, VA. Flat out unbelieveable with indoor hitting bays, technology bays, etc.

 

Muirfield Village GC . Can hit from all angles...nice short game area

 

Olympic Club....just damn pretty

 

TPC Sawgrass...although the sun was blinding at times

 

Four Streams GC...Bealsville, MD...Titleist X-outs on the range for the members.

World Woods is very good, and $100 a month gets you unlimited balls. :)

I've never been there, but I've heard the GPP (Games People Play) facility in Beaumont is awesome......

Per their website: "GPP has been selected multiple times as a winner of America's 100 Best Golf Shops. GPP has also been selected by Golf Range Magazine as a Top 100 Golf Practice Facility in the US. Only three companies in the United States have been selected as a combined retail and range Top 100 Winner. "

I agree with duckhook; I was a caddie at Kinloch for a couple of years, one of the most beautiful courses I have ever had the opportunity to play. This place has held state ams, and has even been asked to hold a Senior Open, which they turned down.

Orange County National is incredible and Tiburon in Naples is very nice as well.

Man, I hate it when country clubs turn down holding major championships (L.A.C.C. for example), its like they're stuck up and too good to hold a frickin national championship :) ;) . I guess they just want to look like idiots or something.

 

Anywhos, my favorite range is TPC valencia from the bottom, get a bag of provs and its pretty nice. The best part though is getting to practice and play with all the good players who go out there (UCLA mens team goes out once in a while, jason gore and some other guys who I can learn shots from, especially around the green).

The practice area at the Turning Stone Resort in Verona, NY is amazing. Giant range with lasered flags on elevated "greens". Callaway and Titleist "Pearls". Short game areas. Water Hazards. Putting Greens. A Dome for indoor work in inclement weather (With Simulation Machines). All maintained at the same level as the course which have been rated as some of the best conditions in the Nation. I almost feel bad taking divots there. maybe not..

 

Judging from last year's B.C. Open the course looks absolutely beautiful too. Being born and raised in NYC and spending a lot of time in upstate N.Y I can attest that the region is really unappreciated in terms of it's beauty.

World Woods near Tampa is the best I've seen. It's literally a complete circle. They also have the largest putting green I've ever seen. It's absurd how big it is.

 

You also forgot about the three "warm up" holes A par three, four and five!! By far the best driving range I have ever seen

we got a new place around here which is pretty nice. Especially since two driving ranges have closed in my town in the past couple years:
