Whittlebury Park Hotel and Spa Resort in Northhamptonshire has added Toptracer technology to the facilities on offer at its new-look driving range, which is being unveiled on October 10.

Toptracer uses proprietary technology to captures ball flight information in real-time to show users the flight path of their ball and provide valuable data about the shot to help them improve their game.

Perfect for all levels of golf, the range includes ten interactive bays with touchscreen displays where visitors compete in a variety of games or improve their skills. Game modes include Closest to the Pin, Approach Shot Challenge, Long Drive, and Go Fish, as well as virtual golf courses through simulator play modes.

Visitors will also have the option of linking their personal profile to the Toptracer Range Community App and gaining access to their entire history of shot data, including specific club performance details, and how they rank against other players on leader boards. Bays are available from £5 for a 30-minute session and up to £17.50 for a two-hour session.

Jonathan Illingworth, Estates Manager at the four-star resort, which also boasts two 18-hole golf course, said: “Giving our visitors the best experience possible is at the heart of everything we do, and we are delighted to be launching a Toptracer range at Whittlebury Park to take that commitment even further. Whether a beginner or advanced, we can’t wait for our visitors to try out this technology and learn the joy of golf in a new, fun, and engaging way.”

Charles Sargeant, the resort’s managing director, added: “The Toptracer launch is the culmination of so much commitment and hard work from our fantastic golf staff here at Whittlebury Park. Their dedication to our visitors is second-to-none, and I know their knowledge of and enthusiasm for this exciting new technology will ensure all those who use the Toptracer range will have an unforgettable experience.”
