What Goes into Successful Lighting Design for Golf Courses and Driving Ranges?

Selecting the right LED Lights for golf courses and driving ranges will help provide proper lighting, and sufficient vertical illumination and meet the lighting requirements necessary for proper light uniformity.

Lighting nearer the golfers should be brighter than light at the far end of the range. But every operator has their own needs and requirements, and our lighting design can accommodate most needs and requirements.

What Goes into Successful Driving Range Lighting Design?

Driving range lighting is unique in that driving ranges are very long and narrow. We have found that good driving range lighting design starts with the lights being mounted behind the golfers and then is supplemented with additional pole-mounted down-range lights to light up the second half of the range.

What is the Difference Between a Lighting Design Calculator and a Lighting Plan?

Use a calculator if:

  • You want quick, simple, and immediate results
  • You are looking for a count of light fixtures needed based on a specific budget
  • You need a rough estimate on quantity and layout/configuration does not matter
  • There is no need to include specific light balance and shadows in your documentation

Use a lighting plan layout if:

  • You need a calculated lighting plan that shows foot candle readings
  • You need to see how balanced the light levels are, and you care about reducing shadows
  • You want to show aiming angles, and light positions in scale within your indoor or outdoor area
  • You need professional assurance that the lights you buy will be the right choice
