EnglishWhat the Driving Range at Horsham Golf Is Like
Updated
Horsham Golf's driving range is a covered, floodlit facility equipped with Awesome Golf technology and radar tracking. The club describes it as a place for learning, improving and playing with friends of all ages and abilities. That combination of shelter, lighting and ball-tracking technology makes it usable in poor weather and after dark, and gives you feedback on each shot rather than just range balls to hit. It suits beginners taking up the game, existing players working on their swing, and groups wanting a shared, game-like session.
What the range includes
The club's own description of the facility covers three things:
- Covered bays — you can hit in wet or windy weather without the session being called off.
- Floodlighting — the range is usable into the evening, which matters if you can only practise after work or school.
- Awesome Golf with radar technology — the range is set up with ball-tracking technology, so shots are measured and can feed into a screen-based golf experience.
The club positions the range as "the perfect venue for learning, improving and playing golf with friends of all ages and abilities." In practice that means it serves three different visits: a coaching or practice session, a solo improvement session, and a social outing where the technology turns hitting balls into a game.
Who it suits
| If you want to… | The range is a good fit because… |
|---|---|
| Try golf before committing to the course | Covered, lit bays and tracked shots lower the pressure of a first session |
| Practise in winter or on wet evenings | The range is covered and floodlit |
| Get feedback on your swing | Radar technology records shot data |
| Bring family or non-golfing friends | The Awesome Golf setup is framed as play, not just practice |
| Warm up before a round | It sits on the same site as the Oaks course |
If your goal is on-course play rather than practice, the range is a supporting facility — the club's main course is the Oaks, and tee times are booked online. If your goal is structured improvement, the club has on-site PGA coaches, so you can combine range time with a lesson.
Practical points before you go
- Check the course status first. The site publishes a current course status link, which is worth checking before any visit in unsettled weather.
- Book tee times online if you plan to play as well. The site offers online tee booking; the range itself is described as a walk-in style facility, so confirm current arrangements by phone if you are travelling far.
- Ask about the technology setup. The club names Awesome Golf and radar technology but does not publish bay-by-bay details, session prices or booking rules on the page summarised here. Call 01403 271525 or email [email protected] to confirm how the tracked bays are allocated.
- Combine it with other facilities. The same site has a golf shop, a custom fit service, a gym and a café with a pizza oven, so a range session can be built into a longer visit.
Where the range fits in a visit
A typical use is a midweek evening: arrive, hit balls under floodlights in a covered bay, use the radar feedback to work on a specific shot, then finish in the café. For a family or group, the Awesome Golf setup gives everyone a score to compete over, which is why the club markets it to "friends of all ages and abilities" rather than to low handicappers alone.
If you are new to golf, the club also offers a downloadable Beginner's Guide to Golf booklet and coaching through its PGA coaches — pairing a first lesson with range practice is the most direct route from trying the game to playing the Oaks course.
