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 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
- Competitive players
It’s a non-threatening environment where people can simply come and have a go.
19 Bays With GC Quad 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 GC Quad technology.
That means golfers can:
- Practice normally in range mode
- Play virtual golf courses
- Use games and challenges
- Track distances and ball flight
- Enjoy a more immersive experience
For many golfers, it turns practice into something much more engaging and enjoyable.
And 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
- 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
- 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 golf coaches available for lessons and coaching.
That means golfers can:
- Practise
- Learn
- Improve
- Get professional advice
all in the same environment.

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
- Comfortable in most weather conditions
That means golfers can continue practising and playing even during winter evenings or poor weather.
Open Long Hours, Seven Days a Week
Golf 360 is open:
- Wednesday, Thursday, Friday: 9am–10pm
- Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday: 9am–8pm
We’re open every day of the year except Christmas Day.
That flexibility makes it easy for:

- Weekend visits
- Family outings
- Casual evening sessions
Convenient Mount Maunganui Location
Golf 360 is conveniently located near:
- Bayfair Shopping Centre
- HomeZone
- Omanu Golf Club
- 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
- Improve over time
That’s a huge part of what makes golf enjoyable.
And compared to many other entertainment options, the driving range can also be a very affordable activity for families, groups, and casual golfers.
