Pete Cowen Golf Academy
If you’re looking for serious improvement, Pete Cowen’s setup is one of the most respected names in coaching. While it’s primarily an academy experience rather than a public “turn up and hit a bucket” driving range, you can typically access range-style practice as part of sessions at their partnered facilities.
- Standout: Elite coaching environment with a performance-first approach
- Best for: Structured practice, swing work, and players who want proper feedback (not just ball-bashing)
Rother Valley Golf Centre (Wales Bar)
If you want lots of bays, floodlights, and a bit more of a destination feel, this is a strong shout.
- Standout: 26-bay floodlit range (plus Powertee mats)
- Tech note: Toptracer reported as installed across bays
- Where: Mansfield Road, Wales Bar, Sheffield S26 5PQ
Waterfront Golf (Wath upon Dearne)
A modern, tech-forward range experience with Trackman built in.
- Standout: Trackman-enabled range with 32 bays
- Where: Station Road, Wath Upon Dearne S63 7BU
Moor View Golf Centre (Bradway)
A no-nonsense practice spot with the essentials done right: covered, floodlit bays and extra facilities on-site.
- Standout: 21 covered floodlit bays
- Good to know: Address listed as Bradway Road, Bradway, Sheffield S17 4QU
Tapton Park Golf Course (Chesterfield)
Not Sheffield city-centre, but close enough with you to be in the conversation if you’re happy to travel.
- Standout: 16-bay driving range listed
The new alternative: Fringe Golf Sheffield (New Era Square)
Outdoor ranges will always have their place—but if you want consistent conditions, proper performance feedback, and an atmosphere that feels like a modern golf club (not a windswept car park), Fringe Golf is about to be the upgrade.
Opening February 2026 at New Era Square, Sheffield, Fringe is bringing Trackman IO swing technology, a Zen Golf putting floor, elite coaching, and a venue built for practice and play—whatever the weather. It’s a different way to scratch the “range session” itch: sharper feedback, better vibes, and way more reasons to stay for “one more go”.
