Driving Range

Golf practice at a driving range in Pretoria involves more than just hitting balls into an open field. The highveld altitude affects ball flight—a straight shot travels further than it would at sea level, so range distances can mislead you about real-course performance. Turf condition matters enormously; wear patterns on the practice mats show where most golfers are struggling with their swing, and well-maintained grass targets help you develop feel for different lies. Weather here swings between summer thunderstorms and dry winter days, both of which test different aspects of your game. A properly run range keeps realistic distances marked, maintains its hitting surface, and gives you the space to work through a full swing sequence without feeling rushed between shots.
