Trafford Leisure further extends driving range availability and reopens Toptracer bays

Altrincham Golf Course will open more bays at its driving range from Saturday 4th July 2020, featuring its world-leading Toptracer tracking technology.

The Toptracer driving range bays will now be open daily to the public from 9.30am, with the last slot available for booking at 7.30pm. All bookings and payments must be made in advance and online, and Trafford Leisure is asking all customers to follow the covid-19 health and safety guidelines to ensure the wellbeing of both players and staff.

Paul Murray, General Manager, Altrincham Golf Course says: “Demand for playing golf and our driving range has been extremely high since we reopened our doors in May. It’s been fantastic to see our community enjoy golf again. With the Government’s revised Covid-19 guidelines, we are now in a position to open our fantastic Toptracer practice bays.”

The team at Trafford Leisure will be cleaning and sanitising all balls between uses and will be asking customers to bring their own golf clubs. The cost to play is £10 per basket of balls for an hour slot. To ensure social distancing is maintained there is a maximum of two people per bay (from the same household) per session, and all customers must make use of hand sanitising stations before and after play. Full details of the revised guidelines and booking procedures can be found on the Altrincham Golf Course website.

Trafford Leisure invested in Toptracer driving bays at its Altrincham Golf Club Driving Range last year, to help customers get the most out of their practice sessions. Toptracer uses advanced golf ball tracking technology to allow players to accurately track and analyse every shot – just as professional players do. The Toptracer bays are fitted with a touch-screen monitor, which captures all shots hit on the driving range and provides players with accurate and instant tracking statistics. The training mode allows players to hone their skills with targets on the range, providing data on distance, ball speed, launch angle, height, side deviation and landing angle, as well as distance to the target.

Paul Murray concludes: “The driving range and Toptracer bays are great for both beginners and experts to practice their swing. They are suitable for all and are a fun way to exercise and keep active. We have been heartened by the popularity of both the golf course and driving range since reopening and we are excited to now be in a position to make our golfing facilities available to even more people. Book online to grab your slot.”
