Driving Range
Every Monday & Thursday this season our back shop staff will be doing a “clean pick” of the driving range where they get every golf ball off the range area in preparation for a full mow of the grass.
On Mondays & Thursdays only, we sell the final bag of range balls at 6:00pm and you must be completed hitting your range balls by 6:30pm, as the range will close promptly at that time. On every other night of the week, the range will close at 7:30pm. On Tuesday & Friday mornings, the maintenance team will be out cutting the grass on range early so it will open at 8:00am.
Thank you for your understanding!

Ron & Dahl Clarridge Driving Range at Ainsdale Golf Course
On June 17, 2019, the fully renovated “Ron & Dahl Clarridge Driving Range at Ainsdale” opened for the season! Ron & Dahl Clarridge are owner Taylor’s grandparents; two incredible people that we wanted to recognize in a special way. Both Ron & Dahl have played a huge part in our lives and we couldn’t be happier to do this in their name. The unveiling day of the new range was a rainy one, but that didn’t stop Ron & Dahl from hitting their inaugural tee shots right down the centre of the range and officially opened the driving range for members and guests!
The renovation featured a much larger, flatter, tee deck for the main driving range, equipped with full irrigation. By moving the tee deck back from its existing spot, we were able to lengthen the range in its entirety, but also preserved a section of the old range around the front of the building to the left. This has now become Taylor’s private lesson tee for one-on-one lessons, classes, and groups.
The project began in the late fall of 2018 and carried over into the spring of 2019. Time was spent digging, moving soil, placing irrigation, leveling, and laying sod. We also added a new cart and walk path to the range area from the existing cart path on #10. With a new path and roping, it’s easily accessible and visible to members and guests to get to the range!
Time was also spent pouring a new pad for the range shed for our Back Shop team when cleaning and bagging golf balls from the range. It’s a nice pull up area for ourselves and our staff to use! We hope you love the practice facility as much as we do!
