Golf driving ranges

[carl carlson]

Taken up golf after a 20 yr lay off so need to go to a driving range before I hack up my local course. Where is the nearest one to Harrogate/wetherby? Is it scotton?

[Si 330]

Wikeridge at wike not too far away.

[cutes6]

Rudding park is a good one and easy to get too

[TooLateForAName]

Isn't there a driving range just off the A59 next to the A1 roundabout?

(disclaimer - I don't golf)

[burriana]

Yes, at Flaxby. Doesn't look very impressive though. I think Rudding Park is closest bet.

I'm thinking of going up there to swing some clubs around. I haven't played for ages and do miss it.

[gretsch drummer]

Yeah, Wikes a good place. http://www.leedsgolfcentre.com/

Has a decent driving range and a good 'Par 3' course.

I used to go to the driving range there. Never played a round there though.

Our kid also recommended rudding park. I'll give it ago.

Used to drive my Golf on A1!

Bloody hell John, you go underground for yonks and then surface with a comment like that... shame on you

Have you still got the Tamora?

[Basil Brush]

I´m in the same boat looking to start again after a good few years without playing. Unfortunately the people I know that play all seem to be single digit handicappers so think it´ll be a while before I head anywhere near a course with them.

Maybe a Yorkshire drive and drive meet?

Blimey Marcus, where have you been hiding yourself?

Last I heard from you, you were away and had lent your brother the Tuscan.

[carl carlson]

Sounds like a good idea. a drive to drive meet up.

Still loitering Al. I didn´t figure you for a golfer.

I´ve just been away to Chamonix for the winter but, after lessons learned from last time, I left the TVR parked up safely.

I've played a few rounds up there in the past. Decent little course for a hacker like myself. The other one just up the road from it (The Village?) is only 9 holes I think but it's quiet in the mornings if you don't want anybody else watching you

Rudding park has a very nice setup. The range, par 3 course and the full 18 course are all topnotch. The club house does very very nice food also.

I can recommend http://yorkshiregolf.proboards.com/index.cgi for all things yorkshire golf wise. We are arranging a meet and anyone is welcome.
