SHROPSHIRE’S first two-tier, 16 bay driving range is now open at Mile End Golf Club at Oswestry.
The range is the first part of a half million pound development scheme for the 20 year old golf club situated just off the A5 on the outskirts of the town.
The completed range will link perfectly to a soon-to-be-completed state of the art custom club fitting and teaching studio in the new clubhouse section of the complex.
The original and popular 12 bay floodlit driving range with purpose built practice bunkers and short game area has been demolished to make way for the new structures.
“We decided to reinvest in the range and clubhouse in order to allow us to give the best possible service to our members and customers in the coming
years,” said the proprietor Richard Thompson.
“Planning such a major expansion during the recent economic downturn might not seem like great timing to some, but we have to continue to drive the business forward and improve the facilities regardless of the current state of the economy.
“We owe that much to our members and I can only thank them for their patience during the upheaval that has taken place at Mile End during the worst winter that many of us can remember,” he added.
“I want to emphasis that the facility is available to anyone, not just hardened golfers – anyone wanting to try their hand will be made welcome.”
The driving range opens at 8am and will be open until dusk during spring and summer months with floodlighting available during the darker months.
