Driving range south Leicester?

[Jason.H]

Hi can anyone recommend a driving range south Leicester? I,m hoping to give a newbie some tips Friday 4/5 o’clock and that’s our halfway point.

When visiting family I’ve used the one at Kilworth Springs GC near Lutterworth. Has Trackman in all the bays now. Worth a look.

Also worth a look is the Leicester Golf Centre near Leicester Racecourse just south of the city. Never been but heard good things about it.

Kilworth Springs is as good as any.

Thanks for the replies. I will look into those options

In addition to the two above, there is one at Cosby golf club that is available for non-members.
Interestingly the two pros at the Leicester Golf Centre in Oadby, Anders Mankert and Tom James, were both previously attached to Cosby.
Tom was a junior member at my club years ago. I played with him on the day he won our club championship when he was still a teenager.

There's also one at Whetstone where you can hit off grass, the only one I know in the area.

Whetstone is OK if you can blot out the noise from the car par park and the M1.



Kilworth Springs driving range must take some beating as the most quiet and peaceful. A good choice.

If you want a basic range without any bells and whistles playing from mats then Cosby (my club) offers the best value. If though you require trackman or similar then Oadby and Kilworth Springs have that though at a significant cost. Whetstone is as cheap as chips but is open air and is half matts and half grass
