Seriously?? Can you fill me in with more details please? Thanks in advance! Well, for me I like it here because it's walking distance to where I'm staying lah, though still looking around for coaches though  | |

How much space does one need? I, personally, found it okay.  I just don't like that synthetic 'grass' where the balls will land lah If compare OCC and here, I prefer OCC. Here (currently), u have to finish the entire basket of balls.  At OCC, 'own time own target' lor | |

| anyone took up lessons @ the Punggol driving range? Heard the fee is relatively expensive compared to Bishan range. I wanted to know more, such as the credentials of coach (ok, this one can just find out directly) but more importantly, your experience with the lessons. =) Thanks all! | |

Been watching the coach play, and he's been giving some free tips to me and my friends. He spots the problems very quickly and accurately. While I was away for a puff, my friend saw him use a 6 iron and hit about 180 there..... I'm still waiting for the intermediate lessons to kick off as there's not enough people for this yet, but I so see alot of kids already having lessons almost everytime when I'm there. I'm taking up lessons here despite the higher fees because it's really convenient for me and saves me alot of time travelling. It takes me less than 15mins to walk there. That coach's name is James Godbold, there are a few others in there but I don't know their names. Hope this helps. | |

Thanks Hide!  I think ability to highlight problems with correction actions is important. I have seen most golf teaching pro can hit 7 iron around 150-160 meters (the one at Punggol range is in yards) there about though, plus some competition experience and teaching credantials. Location is a factor. Another is the value for money. I do not mind go further for lesson but practise nearer (as in Punggol range) more often. Just my view. No offence please.  | |

Just my view. No offence please. No worries bro no offense take taken! Yeah those distance are normal for them coaches and better players If you also wanna take up, maybe we can do the 1 coach 2 students and bargain for package to handicap? I'm trying to bargain for the 1-1 package to handicap at the moment which they don't have available now but are working things out, so they will let me know. Then from there I will see if I still wanna take it. Quite a hefty price though, at 1K. If 2 persons will be 1300, 650 each, 3 persons at 1500, 500 each. Then 4-6 persons at 450 each... But is that the normal price? Because I have a friend who started from ZERO to handicap at 1K too! So.....I wonder.... Cheers! | |

Cheers! O, I am actually looking out for my friend (beginner lesson) who stays in Punngol but not a member of this forum. For me, I need more practices and 18 holes expereince first. I think your quoted pricing is there about. You can take reference from the Bishan one too (http://www.golfculture.com.sg/index-1.html). I remember seeing a thread on this Bishan driving range lessons. The Punggol new setup may not be registered to be able to maintain handicap. Hence, no package yet to handicap. My guess.  | |
