The Five Best Golf Driving Ranges in England that you need to visit!

The driving range is arguably the most popular and easily accessible venue for golfers of any level and experience. Anyone who has the most remote interest in golf has been to a driving range. 

Following golf's huge post-Covid boom, driving ranges have dramatically increased in popularity, and with that, the quality of services and facilities has dramatically risen, too.

The best driving ranges are dotted all over the country, and a lot of them feature Toptracer screens and TrackMan technology, as well as superb coaching and club-fitting services.

Many of the best driving ranges in England are also now accompanied by shops and other attractions, making them ideal venues to entertain the whole family.

The N1 Golf Academy has eight full-time PGA golf coaches on hand for lessons if you want to spend your evening at the driving range under supervision as well.

There is also a roof terrace that overlooks the River Thames.

Trafford Golf Centre - Trafford, Manchester

Trafford Golf Centre is one of the best driving ranges in Europe. All 53 bays are fitted with Toptracer screens, and there are also 36 holes of adventure golf outside.

The driving range has two tiers and this is now the site of American Golf's best shop in the UK, which golfers often go in to check out all of the latest equipment and clothing.

Regular visitors of the Trafford Centre might also bump into YouTube golf sensation Rick Shiels, as he often visits the range to practice and film. 

The Beeches Golf - Knutsford
