DRIVING RANGE UPDATE

Jack McDonagh Driving Range Manager

Registration is still open! Please call us, visit the Pro Shop or email h.willett@ wycombeheightsgc.co.uk to get your name in the draw.

In May we have our Casino Night party! Dress to impress while playing Texas Hold’Em Poker, Roulette & Blackjack and enjoying our hot food buffet. Tickets are on sale now on our website for £34.95 for visitors and £29.95 for members.

At the back end of 2022 we began running a members night on the driving range, each Thursday night. It has become increasingly popular since we began running it three months ago, so I am now committed to continue running member’s night, each Thursday from 7pm – 10pm, but I want to hear from you! Let me know what you would like to get out of members night, whether it be competitions, specials to go on our range menu just for members night, themed nights or absolutely anything else. I want to personally offer an open challenge to all our members which will run through until the end of August! In my quest to be the best golfer at Wycombe Heights, I currently sit 4th on the all-time leader board for the bullseye game on the TrackMan range systems! Any member who beats my score of 5,100 points, will win a free 1-hour session in our VIP bays with unlimited golf balls, and a leather TrackMan glove! The leader board will be on outside of the range kiosk each day if you’d like to see how many people beat me. Good luck!

We are currently looking to create an event schedule for the summer and autumn months. If there are events you would like us to put on, please come and chat to me or Ryan in the sales office as we want to create fun, good value and well-attended events for you as we move into the second half of 2023. As a reminder, all members receive 25% off room hire and 10% off food and beverage; if you have big birthdays, christenings or other celebrations coming up then contact us today for a package.

One bit of feedback I have received from members is regarding opening times of the driving range.

I have taken this feedback onboard, taken it away and tried to put in place more convenient opening hours to allow practice before members competitions. We are an extremely busy driving range, with over 4 million balls being hit since we re-opened last April.

I am happy to announce that from Monday April 3rd, the driving range will be changing it’s opening times. We will continue the 11am opening time on Monday mornings to give the team time to complete maintenance on the outfield. However, Tuesday – Friday we will be opening at 8am and on Saturday and Sunday we will be opening at 7am. I will be re-evaluating these opening times towards the end of September.

Opening Times from Monday 3rd April 2023:

• Monday: 11am – 9pm (Last balls 8pm)

• Tuesday: 8am – 9pm (Last balls 8pm)

• Wednesday, Thursday & Friday: 8am –10pm (Last balls 9pm)

• Saturday & Sunday: 7am – 9pm (Last balls 8pm)

I would like to welcome Liberty to the driving range team. Liberty has moved over to the driving range from the bar to take on the role of running the food and beverage. Liberty has some great ideas for some themed members nights on the driving range which we are hoping to bring you throughout the summer months!

Finally, I would like to personally thank all of you for the kind messages of congratulations following the birth of my daughter in January. I felt extremely touched to have personal messages from some of you whilst I was on paternity leave, as well as many kind words as I have seen you all around the clubhouse, driving range and golf course.

Thanks all for your continued support.

Regards, Jack
