Lims Golf Driving Range

📍 Riverhead, Auckland

3.4(138 Google reviews)

Reopened driving range in Riverhead with accurate distance markers, no bay queues, and golf lessons available with experienced instructors. Facility looks basic and entry signage is poor — it sits down a long unmarked driveway.

I haven't been back here for years because it was in pretty bad shape at the time.if you are familer with its history. but went there today as I heard it has had upgrades" just massive well done to the owners" the tee box improvements are great" the paddock area is a little bit better but definitely have made good improvements. has become my local again, Will be back soon. Cheers"

🏆 Family Action Verdict

Best for families with golf-curious older kids who want low-pressure, no-queue practice without travelling to the North Shore. The instructors are accessible and the markers are accurate. Manage expectations on appearance — the facility is functional, not polished. Beginners welcome; pram access on the pathway is uneven.

ℹ️ What to Know Before You Go

💡Navigate carefully — the entrance is unmarked from the road and looks like a private driveway
Clubs can be swapped for different ones during your session at no extra charge
🎟️Book a lesson with Mr Lim or the on-site instructor for structured beginner coaching
🚗Bring a torch or use phone light if arriving or leaving after dark — pathway lighting is poor

So glad this is open! Guy was super chill, cost me like $25 for 100 balls and 2 clubs ( which he said I could trade for others at anytime ) and while the place does look a little sad - I love the local option!

Great place to learn Golf. Come and have a lesson with Mr Lim or myself. No waiting for a bay no queues. Distance markers are all accurate unlike Takapuna and Golf Warehouse. Great value

It’s great to have this place open again. West Auckland really needed a driving range, so, happy that they have returned. The range itself is very basic and a bit run-down. The surrounding area and car park look almost abandoned at first glance, but it is operational and open. It can get very busy at times, which is actually great to see. Pricing is reasonable, especially compared to heading over to the North Shore and paying much higher ball prices if you’re not a pro. Service can be a little lax at times, with staff disappearing and some waiting involved, but overall it’s good value for money and does the job. PRICES: 100+ Balls $20 70+ Balls $16 40+ Balls $11

Overview

Lims Golf Driving Range is West Auckland's local option for golf practice, recently upgraded with improved tee boxes and accurate distance markers. No bay queues are the norm, making it practical for families fitting in a session without advance booking. Golf lessons are available with Mr Lim and at least one other instructor on site. The surrounds and car park look sparse, and the entrance is poorly marked from the road — the driveway resembles a private property access.
