Driving Range

A driving range in KwaZulu-Natal has to contend with Mooi River's elevation and the seasonal wind patterns that come with highveld geography. Grass conditions shift dramatically between the summer rains and the drier winter months, affecting how balls lie and roll. The infrastructure matters in ways people don't always think about — automated ball collection systems need to handle wet ground, tee areas require constant repair from divot damage, and lighting for evening sessions has to be robust enough to function through load shedding periods. Golfers use ranges to dial in their swing before playing, so the quality of the mat, the spacing between bays, and honest yardage markers become non-negotiable. A well-run range also needs to manage traffic flow, keep equipment in repair, and stock decent balls and grip options.
