Looking for a date idea? Practice your swing at the Club Intramuros Golf Course Driving Range in Manila:
For the uninitiated, a driving range is a place in most golf courses where players practice their swing and form. But here at the Club Intramuros Golf Course Driving Range, there's no need to worry about being the only beginner. The driving range has a special area dedicated to newbies, where you can play and swing to your heart's content sans judgment.
At this driving range, a bucket of 80 balls will only cost you P100. Depending on how fast you swing, that bucket can last you anywhere from 30 minutes to over an hour. As most casual players might not have their own golf clubs to use, the range also offers equipment rentals with rates starting at P200 per club or P1,200 for an entire set. That's just about P300 to get started. Should you really get into golfing, you can hire an instructor or coach for one-on-one practice sessions at P1,000 per hour.
To ensure the driving range can accommodate you when you arrive, it's best to make a reservation before heading there. You can message Club Intramuros Golf Course on Facebook to book a slot.
Whether or not you want to go pro, this activity can be a fun date for you and your S.O. A not-so-common thing to try around the Metro and an added stop to make your Intramuros day tours extra special. Convinced yet?
