Durham Driving Range

This is a great place for beginners and anyone looking for some practice. There are 2 areas for the driving range; mats and grass. There are also 2 areas to practice putting and chipping.
They have a great 9 hole course. As a beginner, I was nervous about going on a course, but it wasn’t intimidating at all.
Their golf pro and trainers are knowledgeable and encouraging. I took the Ladies course and there were a few women that took it last year and came back to improve their skills.
I’ll be back to practice… I really need it. :D

Having just moved back to North Oshawa, after living out of the area for years, I picked up my brand-​new custom-​made clubs & went to, what I thought would be, my new local range. Boy, was I wrong.
The sign said «closed,» but 15 people were still hitting balls; some of whom had only just started into their large buckets. I asked the attendant/​owner if I could hit a small bucket while the others finished. His reply? «What, ya have a tournament in the morning, lady? You have to get some practice in?» I replied, «No. I just picked up my new, custom clubs, and wanted to try them out. I can be done a small bucket before they’re finished.» He said, «Well, it wouldn’t be worth it to me, either way. I know you’ll never be back.»
Talk about a self-​fulfilling prophecy. It’s really too bad this business has him as an owner, instead of his father. The service sure has gone downhill. Well, I most certainly won’t be back now.
