Integrate hospitality by repurposing part of an existing structure or creating new structures onsite. When we visit driving ranges, owners are always surprised at how resourceful you can be with their space, or how easily self-contained units can fit onsite. With clever planning and design, integrating hospitality may be easier than you think.
Pictured is the Strike Shack at Lichfield Golf and Country Club. We completed a full driving range refurbishment and re-designed the site to incorporate a brand new food and beverage unit with outdoor seating.

Effective in-bay seating means players can wait their turn and spectators can sit comfortably. Accommodating larger groups maximises ball output and encourages a social dynamic, keeping players hitting more balls, attracting a new customer base and ultimately, boosting revenue.
The addition of in-bay seating is also a popular choice for facilitates looking to integrate hospitality. Driving ranges are using in-bay QR codes for contactless food and drink delivered to the bay.

With the unforgiving British climate consuming half the year, in-bay heaters are proving to be a popular option for driving ranges. In-bay comfort means longer sessions and consistent yearly ball demand, maintaining footfall and revenue during the cold season.
