Grass driving range in central scotland?

[Deke]

Hi forum,does anybody know of a driving range where I can hit balls off grass or my own tees? Anywhere in Perthshire,Angus,or Fife would be great but I might even travel further for a day out! Many thanks in advance.

I'd love that as well but not sure there's any as it'd just be a mud bath most of the year, best bet might be to find a club that'll let you use their practice ground.

Elmwood golf course in Fife.

Darth,you are the man! Not too far away too,I have been looking for an excuse to go there for ages,ta mate!

Is it not the synthetic surface you hit from rather than grass?

I am keen to know this,could be a deal breaker!

At the top, the bottom range is all grass.

 

[Deke]

Sweeeeet! Cheers Darth!

Wasn't aware of this, much are they charging for balls?

Have to say the practice facility (grass or not) at Gleneagles is awesome

Got a game there today so will check prices and grass part.

£7 per basket of balls, balls are Srixon and looked brand new, grass area is large and not unlike Links with sand underneath, you can drive your car right behind the range- brilliant. Only 1 guy on it then he went so all to myself for 2 baskets, house behind it is stunning (not relevant but just saying). Only caveat is the baskets are probably 80 balls and not 100 like others.

Lastly take a laser rangefinder as the yardages wont be accurate from there
