PARSIPPANY — Parsippany-Troy Hills Mayor James Barberio announced the grand opening date of the new driving range at the Knoll Golf Club for Thursday, July 20 at 4:00 pm. The range, designed by architect, Steven Kay, can be used by golfers on both the East and West courses.
The driving range was designed with 22 state of the art stalls. The turf grass in the body of the range (to where the golf balls are hit) has been maintained to present four target greens for golfers to aim at while they practice.
The range is 280 yards in length from the tee box. The area is widened to allow for the flight of the golf balls and poles and nets have been installed to keep the golf balls from leaving the range area. There are two cart paths to allow for golf carts to drive to the range from both the West and the East courses. Golfers will also be able to park their automobiles in the parking lot of the Amphitheatre on Knoll Road. A small building was erected to accommodate the cleaning and distribution of the range golf balls.
This new golf facility will allow both beginners and experienced golfers to improve their game in a well-designed attractive golf practice range. Mayor Barberio is hopeful that the new driving range will attract more users to the facility as they practice their swing.
