If you’re looking for a driving range in Tauranga or Mount Maunganui, there are plenty of options attached to golf courses.
But Golf 360 is a little different. We’re designed as a true public golf driving range where anyone can come and enjoy golf, regardless of experience level.
You don’t need a membership, a handicap, fancy golf clubs, or even any golfing experience.
Whether you’re practising seriously, trying golf for the first time, bringing the kids, catching up with friends, or just looking for something fun to do, Golf 360 is designed to be welcoming, relaxed, and easy to enjoy.
A Public Driving Range Designed for Everyone
One thing that makes Golf 360 different is accessibility. Some driving ranges attached to golf clubs can feel intimidating if you’re new to golf. At Golf 360, that’s not the case.
Our range caters to complete beginners, casual golfers, serious golfers, families, kids, groups, corporate gatherings and competitive players. It’s a non-threatening environment where people can simply come and have a go.
19 Bays With GCQuad Technology
One of the biggest things that separates Golf 360 from many traditional driving ranges is the technology. We have 19 driving range bays fitted with Foresight GCQuad.
That means golfers can practise normally in range mode, play virtual golf courses, use games and challenges, track distances and ball flight, and enjoy a far more immersive experience.
For many golfers it turns practice into something much more engaging. For better players, the technology also provides extremely useful feedback.
Great for Left and Right-Handed Golfers
Our range is designed to cater for both left and right-handed golfers comfortably. That flexibility makes it much easier for families, groups, friends and mixed golfing abilities to all enjoy the facility together.
You Don’t Need to Book
One thing many people like is the flexibility. Generally speaking, you can simply turn up and grab a bay.
We don’t reserve individual bays as such, but for larger groups of around 12 or more, we’re happy to pencil groups in so we know you’re coming. That helps us manage space while still keeping the experience casual and relaxed.
Golf Clubs Available for Hire
Don’t have clubs? No problem. We have hire clubs available, making it easy for beginners, tourists, casual visitors, families and friends giving golf a try to enjoy the range without needing to own equipment.
Coaching Is Available Too
Golf 360 also has a strong team of coaches available, so golfers can practise, learn, improve and get professional advice all in the same environment. You can read more about our golf lessons and coaching if that sounds useful.
Covered and Floodlit for All Conditions
One of the great things about the facility is that it’s usable year-round. The range is covered, floodlit at night, and comfortable in most weather conditions, so you can keep practising through winter evenings and poor weather.
Open Long Hours, Seven Days a Week
We’re open Wednesday, Thursday and Friday from 9am to 10pm, and Saturday through Tuesday from 9am to 8pm. We’re open every day of the year except Christmas Day.
That flexibility makes it easy for after-work practice, weekend visits, family outings and casual evening sessions.
Convenient Mount Maunganui Location
Golf 360 is conveniently located near Bayfair Shopping Centre, HomeZone, Omanu Golf Club and Mount Maunganui Golf Club. That makes it easy to combine a range session, simulator game, or casual golf visit with shopping, errands, or other activities nearby.
Affordable and Beginner Friendly
One of the biggest things we hear from new golfers is that Golf 360 feels approachable. You don’t need to be good at golf to enjoy the range.
You can hit balls casually, play games, learn with friends, laugh at bad shots, and improve over time. That’s a huge part of what makes golf enjoyable. Compared to many other entertainment options, the driving range is also a very affordable activity for families, groups and casual golfers.
A Few Simple Rules
To help maintain a relaxed and family-friendly environment, no alcohol, smoking or vaping is permitted. We want the atmosphere to stay welcoming and enjoyable for everybody.
Final Thoughts
Golf 360 is much more than just a place to hit golf balls. It’s a public golf facility, a practice venue, a simulated experience, a beginner-friendly environment, a social activity, and a place to improve and have fun.
Whether you’re a serious golfer or someone who has never swung a club before, the goal is simple: make golf enjoyable and accessible for everyone. You can find full details on our Tauranga driving range, and while you’re here it’s worth looking at our golf simulator studios, the mini putt for the family, or everything else across our facilities.
