Trafford Golf Centre in Manchester reopened on April 18 following major refurbishment works, welcoming visitors back to a refreshed range experience at one of the UK’s most popular golf and leisure destinations.
The renovations included the redesign of all 50 hitting bays, complete with heating, Toptracer ball tracking, Power Tee mats, and additional left-handed and dual bays.
The lighting, seating and sound system have also been improved, while the introduction of 100% full-flight Srixon balls and the ability to manage range credit via the GolfNext app will also enhance the user experience.
A redesigned outfield, featuring eight target greens, has created a more realistic golf course-style practice environment, while self-serve bay beer stations and a refreshed Bar & Kitchen menu with in-bay service will also elevate the experience.
Opening hours have been extended, with the facility now open from 7am-11pm Sunday to Wednesday, and from 7am-11.30pm on Thursday to Saturday.
The reopening marks the first phase of improvements at Trafford Golf Centre, with further additions, including premium lounge bays and EV charging set to open later in the year.
Pete Styles, Director of Golf at Trafford Golf Centre, said: “Trafford Golf has seen huge demand over the last few years, so this next phase is about improving the experience for the people who use the range day in, day out. We’ve focused on the things that matter to golfers – better bays, a premium golf ball, a redesigned outfield and a more comfortable environment overall. This is just the start, with more still to come later this year.”
Trafford Golf will continue to operate its arrive-and-drive format, allowing visitors to turn up and play without booking in advance. Bookable bays will be introduced later in the year.
Alongside the reopening, Trafford Golf has also launched a new website, providing a refreshed online home for venue updates, Academy information and announcements.
The reopening also marks a continued focus on The Academy, the UK’s largest golf coaching facility, with lessons available for all abilities, seven days a week. The Academy has also partnered with Caddie Couture to kit out its team of PGA Professionals.
Located next to the Trafford Centre, Trafford Golf Centre is widely recognised as the North’s leading golf destination, offering a unique mix of golf, leisure and hospitality, including Dino Falls Adventure Golf and American Golf’s flagship retail store.
