A few points worth noting……
First thought is about the Golf Balls at our golf range. Throughout the season, we purchase Golf Balls to replenish those lost around the perimeter of our facility (up to 5-6000 per season). We purchase regular “used“ Golf Balls that are of “golf course” quality. They’re not reduced flight and are better than what you would call a Typical Range ball. Due to a recent shortage of Golf Balls available, our last purchase of 3000 were even newer quality than what we usually purchase. Our point in explaining this is that although used, these Golf Balls were white and new looking when bought 4 weeks ago. Having said that, the grass on our facility is 100% sand based, and when golf balls are hit thousands of times and subsequently landing on a sand surface thousands of times, the golf ball covering gets worn quickly. These Golf Balls go from looking new, to looking 10 years old very quickly, but they are still good Golf Balls and fly the same as if the covering remained new looking. We always watch for and remove older balls that need to be taken out of circulation, while we are cleaning them after each and every hit. They get a lot of use and we rotate in replacements as they become too worn to strike.
Next point of interest is our hitting mats. Several are in need of replacement. Again there is a shortage of high end gently used mats available. We have been watching normal sources for availability and will be replacing those in need as soon as they come available…..hopefully before the Spring. Sorry for this inconvenience.
Please also note that pricing will remain the same for 2026. We will continue to supply approximately 60 balls per bucket and this is equivalent to a “large” bucket at other ranges. Follow us for holiday specials on Season Memberships and pre-2026-season Membership discounts.
Last, as weather continues to deteriorate,
watch for updates to our closing, for 2025 Season. It will likely be by the first week of November as in most previous years. Think Spring as it’s always just a few months away.
Your patronage is always appreciated, so thank for coming to Beacon.
