Perth Golf Driving Range FAQs
While you’re allowed to enjoy a drink or two on the course, most driving ranges in Perth prohibit the consumption of alcohol.
Shoes that give you enough grip when you swing your club are recommended. We typically lean towards trainers and sneakers.
Smart casual is the general standard when you’re going to a driving range. Typically, public courses have a more relaxed dress code, whereas private courses can ask for closed-toe shoes and collared shirts. We tend to wear a polo shirt, golf shirt and khaki shorts/pants with golf shoes.
