Golfers are teeing off again at a popular driving range closed since January for major refurbishment.
The range at Trafford Golf Centre, across from the Trafford Centre off the M60 motorway, reopened on Saturday with enhanced features.
The new set-up includes 50 refurbished and redesigned heated bays, complete with Toptracer ball tracking, improved seating and new Srixon balls.

The outfield has also been redesigned, with eight target greens now available to aim at.
Bosses, who have released a series of new images, said the new look would lead to ‘a more realistic golf course-style practice environment’. And the venue has announced extended opening hours until 11.30pm.

The range will open Sunday to Wednesday between 7am and 11pm and Thursday to Saturday between 7am and 11.30pm.
A spokesperson said: “These improvements have been introduced to enhance the overall experience while making the range more accessible for all golfers, giving visitors even more reason to play, putt and practice.
“The reopening marks the first phase of improvements at Trafford Golf Centre, with further additions, including premium lounge bays and EV charging set to open later in the year.”
Pete Styles, Director of Golf at Trafford Golf Centre, said: “Trafford Golf has seen huge demand over the last few years, so this next phase is about improving the experience for the people who use the range day in, day out.
“We’ve focused on the things that matter to golfers – better bays, a premium golf ball, a redesigned outfield and a more comfortable environment overall. This is just the start, with more still to come later this year.”
The driving range is said to attract as many as 2,000 golfers a day.
