RangeNearMe for golf practice app for iPhone and iPad

RangeNearMe tells you how long it will take to get to your nearest or favourite driving range, practice and get back. It is more than just a comprehensive directory list of public golf practice facilities in Australia and New Zealand. It finds the nearest ones for you... and includes details such as satellite views, marker distances, wind, weather, opening hours and contact details. If youve ever wondered whether youve got time to squeeze in some work on your golf game, & where you can do it this app will help.

You can set it up to start with your favourite driving range, add your usual practice time and to get directions from a specific location, eg home or work.

RangeNearMe is designed to help you plan and schedule your golf practice. You choose how long you want to practice for, whether it’s an half an hour, four hours or until sunset or closing time. It works out how long you need and will give you an overall estimated finish time.

Often when practising you may wonder where the wind is coming from, what the weather conditions are and just how far various points are on the driving range. You can now zoom in to any range to check these from the main screen.

There are several ways to find the golf driving range youre looking for.  Browse the map, drop a pin to see whats nearby, search by name or category - or scan the entire list of driving ranges available. You can search for somewhere new or different with specific features such as grass teeing areas, short game areas or mini putt for the kids.

You can get driving range directions from or to your current location, long-press for a dropped pin, or an alternative location of your choice.

As a location based App, assisted GPS is used to find your nearest driving range and get directions. Note that continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.
