Driving ranges in St. Catharines–Niagara: grass, mats & practice features

Niagara Parks' flagship public complex on the Niagara Parkway features a 360-degree driving range spanning 45 acres alongside two championship courses and a par-3 layout, with seasonal closing times that shift through the golf season.

Operating since 1992 next to Niagara-on-the-Lake's vineyard country, this range mixes open grass tees with 14 concrete/mat hitting bays (four with SMART Range launch monitors) and a sheltered section built over the mats nearest the clubhouse.

Family-owned since 1963, this Thorold complex combines an 18-hole executive course with a range offering both open grass tees and 8 Toptracer bays, plus mini golf and footgolf/disc golf on site.

Set in Fenwick near Fonthill, this grass range aims players at seven bent-grass target greens across fairway bunkers, with a dedicated lesson tee run by PGA professional Kevin Niznik and yardages available through the Sawmill app.

A standalone Fort Erie practice centre built around target-style driving range bays, a putting green, and sand bunkers, distinguished by having an LPGA professional available for lessons by appointment alongside its 18-hole mini putt.

This Fort Erie public course complex pairs its 18-hole layout with a full driving range, practice putting green, chipping area, and an on-site mini-putt course for the whole family.

Attached to a par-27, nine-hole executive course just west of the Allanburg Bridge on Highway 20, Fox Run bills its practice facility as the region's premier spot for dialing in short-game and approach distances.

A 12-acre range with six target greens and a 150-by-300-yard tee deck sits alongside this Stevensville (Fort Erie) championship course, with PGA of Canada professionals offering individual lessons, group clinics, and junior camps.

A family-run practice facility just off the QEW in St. Catharines that stays open year-round thanks to covered, heated hitting bays alongside open-air grass tees, plus night lighting for evening sessions.

A nine-hole Welland course whose practice facility stands out for its size: 35 individual bent-grass tee stations running 300 yards deep to five separate target greens.
