Will I get wet if it is raining? No, we have over 30 covered bays
Do I need to book? Bookings are only necessary for groups of 10 or more people and also for club fittings
Can I bring my own clubs? Yes you certainly can. We do have drivers to hire for $3 and all other clubs are free including kids clubs
Can kids do it? What is the minimum age? We are open to all and any age groups, although adults must be responsible for young children and supervision is required at all times
How long does a bucket last typically? Children tend to go through a basket fairly fast, but adults can draw it out, it all depends on the person and how they like to play
Is smoking permitted? If no, where can we smoke? The driving range is considered an open area so smoking, while discouraged, is permitted
How many people can fit in a bay? There is a limit of one person in a bay at a time, for safety reasons. There is a bench behind the bay where people can wait for their turn and watch their friends and family
Are spectators allowed to come in? Spectators are welcome and there is no charge
Is there a time limit on how long we are there for? You can hit your balls as fast or slow as you like. We do ask that you are considerate to others and that if you see people waiting try not to delay too much
Are you open on public holidays? Yes. We are open 24 hours a day, 365 days of the year
Do you sell drinks and food? We have some drinks and confectionery
Can I book out a certain amount of bays? Yes, but we only take private bookings for large groups
Can someone help me and show me how to do it? There are coaches that we can put you in touch with. However, the majority of people who come through have never picked up a golf club before and manage just fine. You may be able to get some tips from staff at the counter if they are not too busy
Can I book the whole venue or part of the venue out for a function or work event? Potentially, please email us at jksgolf@xtra.co.nz with your request
What if I don’t use all of my balls, do I get a refund? We do not offer refunds on driving range purchases
How do I know which club to use? The majority of our clubs are standard length. We provide irons free of charge or drivers for $3. Irons are generally used for shorter, more accurate shots, while drivers are designed for distance. With irons, the higher the number (and any letters) on the iron, the higher, and shorter the ball will go. So if you are looking for distance you want a driver or an iron with a low number on it
What is the short game area? We have an artificial green. This is designed for golfers to practice their pitching and putting on free of charge, all they need to do is bring their own equipment
Do you have golf coaching? Yes we have coaching professionals that operate out of here. They come in to JK's World of Golf regularly. They don't work for us but we can put you in touch with them
At night are there lights on the field so I can see where my ball goes? Yes, once the natural light starts to drop we turn on some floodlights to illuminate the range. If they are not already on, and you are having trouble seeing your balls, just let the staff member know and they can turn them on for you
