Is the Driving Range at Pine Ridge Golf Club Open?
Updated
No. As of the current notice on pineridgegc.com, the Pine Ridge Golf Club driving range is temporarily closed. The club states it is applying new soil and seed to establish improved turf throughout the facility, and lists a target reopening date of Saturday, September 26. That date is a goal, not a guarantee — the site says to stay tuned for updates as the work progresses.
Why the range is closed
The closure is part of a turf improvement project rather than a maintenance emergency. According to the club's announcement, new soil and seed are being applied to build better grass across the practice facility. This lines up with the broader transformation Pine Ridge describes under Brooke Management Group, which includes planned upgrades to practice facilities and the driving range experience.
What to check before you go
Because the reopening depends on how the turf establishes, confirm status before making a trip:
- Check the website banner at pineridgegc.com for the latest range notice.
- Join the club's email list — the site promotes it as the channel for updates on course improvements, new amenities, and events.
- Call the club at 631-331-7930 if you need same-day confirmation.
What else is affected
The notice specifically covers the driving range. Other parts of the operation — tee times, the golf course, the restaurant, the academy, and the pro shop — appear as separate sections on the site and are not named in the closure notice. If your visit depends on the range specifically, treat it as unavailable until the club confirms otherwise.
The bigger picture
Pine Ridge is in the middle of a multi-year transformation announced by Brooke Management Group. Planned technology enhancements include Inrange® interactive driving range technology, GPS-equipped golf carts, and autonomous delivery robots for food and beverages on the course. The current soil-and-seed work is consistent with preparing the range for that upgraded experience, so the closure is best read as a construction phase rather than a sign the range is going away.
Bottom line: the range is closed now, the club is targeting Saturday, September 26 for reopening, and the reliable way to confirm is the website notice, the email list, or a phone call to 631-331-7930.
