No one likes walking onto the first tee after a long period away from the course, only to slice it two fairways over in front of your boss or the boys. Practice is essential to keeping your swing perfect, and what better way to do it than at one of the best golf driving ranges in Sydney.

From those driving ranges just a stone’s throw from Sydney’s CBD to a handful on the Northern Beaches and others out west, there’s always a Sydney driving range close by for casual weekend warriors or weeknight enthusiasts alike. You can stop searching for the “best driving range near me,” because we’ve sifted through the pile to select our top 10, in no particular order.

And of course, this list will be updated once new ones open. Providing they are worth a damn of course. By the end of 2022, for example, we should be seeing an ambitious new entry in Norwest, called Swing City with promises of 40 golf driving ranges, plus dining and entertainment venues. For now, these are the best golf driving ranges in Sydney that are currently open.
