if cannot find... whatsapp... we will try to get level 1 bays on the right near the toilet....

Rite, cya on Tues.

Punggol range balls are quite hard, not good to feel. Also not cheap, go occ cheaper.....balls newer.

I frequent both. End of the day, to me its the company tat matters. OCC just updated their balls so definitely newer. For those who stay near punggol or pasir ris...I think Punggol range offers a closer alternative la.

I do agree that the balls at Punggol range are not the best... I frequent there mainly because of the distance.. I can walk there.... For balls, I still prefer Mandai range.. they use normal golf balls, not range balls...

Add parking.. they r actually VERY expensive!

yeah.... parking is really a turn off....

but i heard it's not their decision... the monies collected goes to the land owner, not Poh brothers.. in fact, they didn't like the idea of charging parking...

Heard from the guys at Punggol that there should be new Srixon range balls soon...apparently already in the storeroom. Looking forward to it.

BTW, I don't think I can make it tomoro...have a dinner appointment that cannot "siam"

Oh now punggol range charges parking as well? I was there last year, it's free leh.

enwee, this is new but not that new.... i heard the charges are ex....

Wah, like that I think, I'm better stick with NSRCC or OCC.

Yes. The parking is not free. It is operated by Wilson Parking now.

The balls are fairly new. But seems like they didnt go through the cleaning process, so it has alot of black marking on the balls.

Personally, I dont like the ball dispenser which seems to take ages to dispense one ball at a time.

The mat is also quite hard and short "grass"....macham very tight lies on the fairway.

Otherwise, the environment there is quite nice. Very cooling with light breeze when I was there on a Fri evening. Not crowded too if compared to NSRCC or Bishan where getting a parking lot and a range bay is not so easy. Cheers.

Will be there tmr nite. Cya.

Mi 2. =)

Damn... Just reached Punggol mrt... Tmr will make it a point to leave earlier.....

Why don't go OCC? Now they go some ladies night promo, top up $20 or more they give you the same amount back. Furthermore it's great to practise driver on the ground flr, it's autoloader.
