Should there be a 24hrs operating range in Singapore

Not possible... The floodlight used in most range are at least 1KW and we are talking about minimum of 20 of them. So the total power required may need a huge solar panel of maybe half the size if the range... Plus to keep the power on reserve, the battery is another huge cost...

and watch the ball flight using night tracer golf balls?

maybe the the range just need lights shone on the specific landing targets.

landing the ball anywhere else outside these target circles will be regarded as failed

Very Happy

maybe no need 24 hrs. Perhaps open till 1am or 3am will be good enough.

sometimes after settling the wife and child, it is about 1030pm already, lol

This can be inspiration. But it is feasible in Tokyo with a super dense population and where people work too hard!

Driving ranges don't need to be FULLY LIT.... Just the target areas.

Agree that most should adopt solar energy as a power alternative. It may cost a little more to install but in the long run, operators will save.

Driving range owners.... why not TEST this theory.... Open your range for 24 hours for a month. If you see a clear profit, try it for a second month.

I think that Punggol or Toa Payoh would be ideal candidates.

who would expect indoor soccer to open 24 hrs last time? Until some futsal operator tried it and now it's earning big bucks... Need a range operator to start the ball rolling 24hrs. Who knows it might bring more bangs?

Looking forward to 24 hr golf range....haha

For sure I am go regular if there is one such range in Singapore.

it would be so awesome if really got 24 hours or just late night range. Even if until 3am on weekends also shiok. Any range operator reading this? you already got so many supporters!!!

Yes, I wish there was a range that closes early, early in the morning! Can't sleep or troubled, whacking 100 balls should provide enough remedy.

I wish there'll one in near future.

Yeah man!! SG has so many 24hr options.. All except range ):

Newbie Golfer Posts : 94 Join date : 2010-09-24

I hope there is one. Maybe good idea after 10pm the range can be more of a fun, family and friends oriented type of course like this one :

Wow! Will definitely try out Topgolf on my next trip to Houston! Looks awesome!

Yeah, but I do hope they invest soon here. Maybe take over one of the drivng ranges here which are quite under par.

It alway that easy and simple coming from consumer's perspective. But are we willing to pay premium price for such luxury timing? Looking at the recent Bermuda grass premium driving range set up, there will be many different opinions and no end. Laughing

Yeah... cost will kill the operator in no time...
