Choosing a builder for your driving range or practice facility
The firms in this category can take your practice facility from first plan to finished hitting area. Depending on who you hire, you get one contractor for earthworks, drainage, irrigation and seeding, a designer who lays out tees and landing areas, a crew that installs netting to keep balls on your site, or synthetic surfaces that cut watering and mowing. This list shows what each firm does and where it works, so you can shortlist the right type of firm before asking for quotes.
Range and course builders in the UK
Contour Golf in Daventry built the range at Leicester Golf Centre in a five-month window, and says imported inert soil can help pay for a new practice facility. MJ Abbott lists a new practice tee and driving range at Royal Norwich Golf Club and a short game teaching school at Woburn Golf Club. Booth Golf & Leisure builds long game and short game areas and par 3 courses, and says it can fund the early stages so your club does not raise the capital first.
