1 / 3Golf Warehouse Driving Range & Minigolf - Riccarton Park
📍 Broomfield, Canterbury
Golf Warehouse Riccarton Park combines an automated Toptracer driving range with a freshly re-carpeted mini golf course built around a castle centrepiece. PGA-qualified staff are on site for lessons and fittings, with free parking and pram access.
I'm updating this review after seeing Ryan Ellis for a club fitting. Pre purchase mind you! Learn from my mistakes and look into a club fitting if you have designs of playing regularly! I've had a handful of full swing lessons at this location from J Mills, the former pro. They were hugely beneficial and I recommend looking into lessons any time you think you might want to upgrade your clubs. That being said, my low handicap friends mentioned I should get fitted for newer clubs since my current set were made when Jenny Shipley was PM. Apparently technology has advanced since then?! Ryan Ellis was kind, professional and massively helpful with his advice as we worked through a combination of heads, shafts, offset, and lie to find some forgiveness and stronger launches from my irons. There's no advertisement more powerful than raw data on the screen after every swing. Fair to say, there'll be a sale going through the till before too long! Add in a passing comment of a tip that has given me 10-15m for each club (for free!?) The boys at Golf Warehouse have made a stunningly compelling argument for seeing a human being in a brick and mortar building for your golfing needs.

“First time playing mini golf at McDuffs today. $35 for 2 adults and 1 preschooler. Grounds are well maintained, with the castle being the main feature. Had a good time! Highly recommend.”

“Fine tuning my craft at the best driving range in Christchurch. Excellent pro shop and the staff are super friendly, has anyone got any pointers for my swing?”
