Finding a driving range in Dallas that offers a good balance of quality facilities, modern technology, and fair pricing can be a challenge.

Golfers today aren’t just looking for well-maintained mats or grass to hit from – they’re also seeking reasonable prices bucket of balls and other amenities that help improve their game (for example, technology that can provide detailed feedback on their swings).

In this guide, we’ve identified the top driving ranges in Dallas, TX. We’ve focused on places that maintain their facilities to a high standard, ideally incorporate useful tech tools for golfers looking to analyze and improve their game, and offer these services at a reasonable cost.

 

How We Came Up With This List

As we were analyzing the best driving ranges in Dallas, we focused on several key factors:

  • We evaluated the cost of an assortment of sizes available for a bucket of balls.
  • We looked at the operating hours of various driving ranges in Dallas, looking for locations that offer the longest hours of operations and ideally open 5+ days a week.
  • A significant consideration was whether the range allows golfers to use their drivers.
  • The presence of a short game area and a practice putting green are also essential criteria, indicating the comprehensiveness of the facility.
  • We specify whether golfers are hitting on mats or natural grass, as preferences can vary.
  • We also specify whether you can rent clubs at each range, in case you’re traveling and/or don’t have any of your own.
  • Lastly, we aimed to cover as many areas across the city as possible to give you options no matter what part of town you’re in.

This systematic approach ensures we capture a holistic view of each range, based on the key factors most golfers prioritize.
