Facility Layout

Driving Range Location:
The driving range is conveniently located near/adjacent to the clubhouse. The putting green is located east of the driving range, past the cart shed. The chipping area is near the practice facilities. All practice facilities are conveniently located near the clubhouse for easy access.​

Range Ball Purchase Process

Step-by-Step Process:

  1. Enter clubhouse/pro shop​

  2. Purchase range ball tokens at pro shop counter (pay with cash or credit card)​

  3. Receive tokens from pro shop staff​

  4. Walk to ball dispenser machine located near driving range area​

  5. Insert tokens into dispenser machine​

  6. Collect balls dispensed in bucket​

  7. Walk to driving range hitting area (mat or grass stalls depending on availability and season)​

Token System:
The pro shop uses a token system. Staff sells tokens at the counter, and golfers take these tokens to a ball dispenser machine to receive their balls. The machine dispenses balls into a bucket when tokens are inserted. This is different from systems where pro shop staff hand out pre-filled buckets.​

Walking Path:
Golfer walks: Pro Shop (inside clubhouse) → Purchase tokens at counter → Exit pro shop → Walk to ball dispenser machine (located near/at driving range area) → Insert tokens and receive balls in bucket → Walk to driving range hitting stations (mat or grass area depending on availability/season)
