Driving Range

Because of the latest innovations in golf technology, as well as athletes improving their performance, we are seeing golfers hit the ball increasingly further. As a result, we have experienced an upsurge of golf balls on the back side of the driving range, threatening the safety of golfers playing on Lake holes three and four.

TurfHound is strikingly different when compared with the conventional mat--It feels like and plays like you're on natural turf! TurfHound produces the most realistic, versatile, and durable synthetic golf surfaces in the world based on their patented Active Foam Technology. TurfHound's proprietary foam core, embedded in a unique urethane blend, covered with the finest grass layer available, simulates the feel and performance of healthy natural turf, whereas the ordinary golf mats focus their attention on the hitting surface. TurfHound's creators have replicated the physical dynamics and response of natural turf embodied in the top 1/4" to 1/2" of soil. You can practice your swing over and over on the TurfHound surface, then step onto the fairway and enjoy the same swing dynamics on natural turf. There's no club-head bounce as you swing down and through the ball. No painful shocks to your wrists, elbows, or shoulders. You can drive off your own tee, set at any height, or use your irons and work on all parts of your short game, just as you would off healthy natural turf. There are no divots to replace!

We plan to modify the slope and add new targets, improving your line of sight and allowing for a more inventive aesthetic, as opposed to the current setup. Through moving the practice area back, this will allow us to maintain our current quality of practice ball, and not have to implement limited flight practice balls. Each year we purchase new practice balls and each year thousands are lost in the ditch and trees surrounding the practice range. Moving back the practice area has significantly reduced the number of lost practice balls, thus reducing staff hours and stress.

Through moving the practice area back, we will not be compelled to install 'high nets,' as they would diminish the top-of-the-hill view that we all know and love.
