Driving ranges in New York City: grass, mats & practice features
In New York City, driving ranges are shaped by scarce land: the marquee options are multi-story or waterfront setups like Chelsea Piers on the Hudson, with its 52 covered and heated stalls, plus outer-borough standbys at Alley Pond in Queens, Turtle Cove on City Island, and Marine Park in Brooklyn. Almost everything in the five boroughs is mat-tee; for natural grass you generally have to leave the city, such as Game On Golf Center in White Plains, which keeps irons-only grass tees alongside its mats.
