Best Short Game Practice Area (W/Scotland)

[virtuocity]

Simple question really-

Where near Glasgow / Lanarkshire has the best short game area?

My ideal place would have:

-Hitting off grass
-Couple of putting greens
-Chipping areas
-Short game (100 yard) targets

Thanks!

not west coast exactly but Gleneagles has all of the above, apart from that it's been St Andrews.

Will be interested myself of anywhere else more local

Last time I was there world of golf in Clydebank had a decent set up. Don't know about hitting off grass for the long shots though. Maybe someone will be able to give you a more recent update

Unfortunately this is now a crazy golf theme park for kids, i take it the owners get a better return from that than a short game area.

World of golf still has a decent short game area.

Inverclyde Centre @ Largs. £5 for the day, use your own balls.

6 bay driving range, 6 full holes to play from tee to green. Bunker practice, putting green. Or just find a yardage you like and fire balls into a green.

Excellent grass conditions with great drainage.

Do you mean clubs with these facilities?
If so Eastwood ticks all the boxes.
If you mean somewhere you can rock up to, pay a few quid and use the facilities, I don't know.

Its behind Jurassic Parr. They have a green, couple of bunkers and an area to pitch from.

The Carrick has excellent facilities for chipping & putting. although it is mats for your longer shots.. £5 for 100 balls i think..

 

[williamalex1]

Hamilton Ricarton has all them ., but its private and expensive, to join.

Turnberry is superb but at a price.

Last time I was at Inverclyde [3-4 years ago] it was pretty rough.

I didn't know this place existed! Might pop in after work this week.

Edit- ...Kinning Park.

Pulled its socks up. Good facility and if your lucky you might meet Bob or if your really really lucky you'll stand hitting balls beside Padraig and Paul while Bob is teaching them like happened to me about 8 years ago.

I'm hardly likely to promote a facility that is gash especially when the OP is driving from Lanarkshire!

Beam me up !!
