The very first Inrange Range is set to open in France early next year, with the La Palmyre Club in the Charente-Maritime region being the first destination to offer the radar ball-tracking system at its driving range.
La Palmyre Club boasts a 9-hole course, a large putting practice green, short game area, golf academy, and a soon to be tech-infused driving range.
The inclusion of Inrange’s hyper-accurate radar ball-tracking & full stack off-course software is set to raise the customer experience at La Palmyre, which adjoins the local Club Med resort. Both local and travelling golfers will be able to enhance their practice sessions with data-driven, purposeful and accurate data – while entertainment seeking groups will be able to spend social time on the range playing games or linking bays together and playing in teams against one another (a functionality that is unique to the Inrange system).
La Palmyre is copying the highly successful blueprint of the modern ‘hybrid range’ that can cater to every type of visitor, while also offering stand out F&B. The 10 covered and 10 uncovered bays will offer an enriching player experience alongside the venue’s main restaurant and lounge area where practice players can eat, drink and socialise. A second restaurant, overlooking the award-winning golf course, will serve up tasty French cuisine on a terrace deck.
Speaking about the installation of InRange, La Palmyre Club’s Deputy Director of Golf, Astrid Dormeuil, said: “We are incredibly excited to take this opportunity to bring a whole new era of golf to France. Inrange offers everything we need to create memorable golf experiences for our visitors and local players alike. Technology is needed on the range these days, and we know we’ve chosen the best possible partner to help us make it a success.”
