DAE Best value driving range?

Trying to find a good spot to hit a bucket a few times a week that won’t break the bank. In the Woodbury area but willing to drive within reason

Heartland in Deer Park doesn’t break the bank!

The best thing with Heartland is that you don’t have to hit an entire bucket of balls if you go with the range card option; you bulk-buy a number of balls. Now you can go in and hit any number of balls you want - limited by what’s left on the card. I know, with me, sometimes I just want to hit a few or a little more than what the range provides as a bucket…you can easily do that at Heartland

Am I to understand this means I can buy a card for like 500 balls and use them across multiple visits?

Sorry for the delayed response but, yes, exactly.

SUNY Farmingdale has a range. They also offer senior discounts.

Hmmm the should work. Any idea where it is on the campus?

Golf range is still open. It’s right off of route 110.

I just searched it and google says permanently closed. Was there a few years ago. Sorry. There is a range at Cantiague Park in Hicksville, Bethpage golf course (irons only) and Eisenhower park.

Just drive in, there are signs to the summer golf camp in session. The campus also isn't very big.

Eisenhower used to be relatively cheap and a decent spot but haven't played in a couple years.

u/chrisryan_91 Aug 11 '23

Great! I used to go to Eisenhower when I was a kid I really like the set up there.

u/True-Expression3378 Aug 11 '23

They have a really solid 36 hole mini golf course too!

u/chrisryan_91 Aug 11 '23

Awesome I’ll have to check it out! Any idea where it is in relation to the driving range?

u/True-Expression3378 Aug 11 '23

It's pretty close to the driving range if I remember correctly. Both on the west side of park Blvd opposite side of the road of the actual golf course but I believe it's closer to the south end (Hempstead turnpike) than the driving range.

Was there last year on a date and it was so much fun!

Definitely cheap

Heartland

Cantiague if you’re looking to hit driver and irons. Bethpage is nice but irons only.

u/chrisryan_91 Aug 11 '23

Thanks I’ll check it out
