EnglishWhat is Worcester Golf Range and what facilities does it offer?
Updated
Worcester Golf Range is a family-run golf practice facility on the west bank of the River Severn in Worcester, describing itself as Worcester City's only dedicated driving range. It combines a 22-bay floodlit driving range with PGA professional tuition, a secondhand club shop and club repair services, and it is open to non-golfers as well as golfers. It suits anyone wanting covered, all-weather practice, a lesson with a tour professional, or budget-friendly secondhand equipment — check current opening hours and lesson availability before travelling.
The driving range
The core facility is a 22-bay, fully covered, floodlit range, so practice is possible in any weather and after dark. The site says it upgraded to LED lighting in 2020, which it describes as giving the clearest, brightest floodlit range in Worcester while reducing its carbon footprint. In August 2025 it added 16 new range mats and 15,000 new range balls.
Practical points from the site:
- Balls are sold by the basket (see prices below), and the last balls are issued 20 minutes before closing.
- Club hire is available for £2.00 if you don't bring your own clubs.
- Pre-paid range cards let you top up in advance and receive extra ball credit.
Range prices
| Item | Price |
|---|---|
| Club hire | £2.00 |
| 45 balls | £4.40 |
| 90 balls | £8.80 |
Pre-paid range cards
| You pay | Range ball credit |
|---|---|
| £30.00 | £30.00 |
| £45.00 | £50.00 |
| £75.00 | £85.00 |
| £100.00 | £120.00 |
The larger top-ups carry a bonus, so the card is worth considering if you plan to practise regularly rather than visit once.
Coaching
Tuition is led by Mark Dove, described as a renowned PGA professional and ex tour pro. The site positions lessons for three groups: newcomers to golf, players working on something specific, and players wanting to move their game to the next level. Lessons are booked separately from range balls — use the site's lesson information and booking pages to check formats, availability and cost, since these are not listed in the material summarised here.
Shop and club repairs
The on-site shop stocks a selection of secondhand golf clubs and new accessories. The range also offers golf club repair across "all aspects," backed by years of experience — useful if you need a club re-gripped, re-shafted or adjusted rather than replaced.
Location and history
Worcester Golf Range has been family-run for close to 50 years. It sits on the west bank of the River Severn with road links from multiple directions, and is about a 30-minute walk from Worcester city centre along a scenic route. If you are coming by car, confirm parking and exact directions on the site's "Find us" page before setting out.
Is it worth a visit?
Choose it if you want covered, floodlit practice in Worcester, a lesson with an ex tour pro, or secondhand clubs and repairs in one stop. If you need a full-length course, a large retail pro shop or a members' club setup, this is a practice range rather than a golf course, so look elsewhere for a round. The site also runs an optional email list for occasional special offers and news — sign-up is voluntary and it states emails are infrequent and data is not shared with other companies.
