Wyboston Lakes Resort in Buckinghamshire has installed Trackman at its driving range, which has recently been rebranded Pinseekers following a major upgrade of the practice facilities available for members and guests.
The range now features 13 heated bays, all fitted with Trackman software. Each shot is tracked, and the data stored so that golfers can monitor their progress over time. The software lets guests play virtual courses from around the world, set up competitions for long drive or nearest-the-pin and offers a wide range of games suitable for all ages and skill levels.
The technology at the driving range also now includes two robots, one to mow the grass, and the other to collect the golf balls.
Woody’s Lounge, a new social seating area, has been created for guests and clients wanting space to socialise and relax in a fun environment.
The refurbishment has been done using recycled and reclaimed materials in line with the resort’s commitment to be sustainable wherever possible. The wood used to create new bays, features, seating and tables was all from reclaimed scaffolding materials.
Pinseekers will soon be featuring packages that make full or partial use hire available for groups with a variety of food and drink options.
Dale Shaw, the resort’s hotel manager said: “Local golfers, those working in serviced offices on site, hotel, conference and training centre guests, can all enjoy this great new facility either as a way to improve their golf at their leisure or as a social activity.”
