You mean Range on your Wii ???

Er... No, not on my Wii. And no, not pro. But it's a range nonetheless, with real golf balls and nets. I think it's only about 50m long, with some target practice. I'll try and take a photo of it.

No leh. Now the latest fashion is condo have driving range. Never hear on radio meh?

I wish my house got range also. But only got "air" range. Like playing air guitar only

Visited Bishan range beginning of this year..place is pretty dirty especially from 3rd deck onwards..

Nvr like bishan range cos nvr really hit well there too!

Bishan range always had this parking problem, also when u played on the cashier level not sure which level is that. The KTV there very noisy.....

Sometimes is the crowd tt makes the range visit unpleasant. I particularly had bad experiences at Mandai.
1) Ppl blasting music while hitting. (can u believe tt?!)
2) Uncles & coaches talking damn bloody loud...(prob the regulars there & I'm sure they r shareholders... If not y so ya-ya)
3) 'Free coaching'
4) Smoking... I hate most....

Wa.. The music England one or KTV one??

The rest sounds like the range in bukit timah man !!

Last time TP range ran out of balls in wkend at times, so they had to let customer go out and picked the balls back.....so got "happy hour"

Sorry enwee, where's this TP ??

I think it's crazy to let golfers go out there.. Legally, if one guy trips over and knock his head, I wonder what kinda insurance they have for compensation....

Pain to pay for parking but at least the environment open and airy.

I can feel fr u guys w regard to e parkg fees.
I was fortunately tat my place was within walkg distance n e oni place where i can find convenient in practicg at most timing.

I agree. Bishan range is getting really bad. although parking is free, the carpark is almost always full during evenings / night. and the worst part is that it's not bcos of golfers, but ppl who go to bishan park or the nearby coffeeshop.

as for the golfing bays, the management has decreased the distance between each bay by so much such that each bay is so close to the next one. so much so that they have to put signs to warn ppl to watch out for the other golfer's backswing! Essentially, u can't swing your driver with peace of mind, bcos u'r afraid of hitting the guy behind, and u are also in constant fear that the guy in front of u may take ur head off with his club (esp if he / she is a wild-swinging type of golfer)

Again, Isn't there some kinda control or governing body to maintain some safety and standards among the driving ranges ????

I find this extremely dangerous and irresponsible of the management man...

Toa Payoh....they have to ask everyone to stop and go picked balls....then maybe half an hour later then can restart.

worst driving range is Bishan for me. bare-thread range mat is one thing. what pissed me off was the one time I played at the bottom level, while I was taking my address a ball dropped onto my mat from the level above.

i agree on bishan being quite poorly maintained..lousy mats is a total turn-off..but i play on the top floor though..wont get dropping balls..haha..

Actually for beginner should try ground flr or closer to ground because you can judge your distance more accurately.

to ensure the number of rounds declared expended is correct?

So the worst is Bishan ?

Personally i dislike Bishan n Green Fairway.
My favourite re at Seletar. U can practise yr driver/irons/chippg/bunker/puttg.

ya seletar is really a nice place for practising...

In the absence of governing bodies, why not vote with your dollar?

Head down to driving ranges where you are satisfied with the overall product.

Changi NSRCC the best...
