Markham Golf Dome

Lots of area to practice your golf swing and putting.
Highly recommended to go early/​close to closing as there are less people and it’s cheaper.
Friendly staff.
Fair prices.
Go out and enjoy.

I decided to come here after getting their groupon deal for 3 lessons and 3 hours of practice time. I’m a golf beginner so I figured this was a good way to try out the game before spending too much money to get clubs and a regular instructor.
The range itself is pretty decent. They offer an outdoor driving range where you can choose to hit off of the mat or the grass. They also have an indoor range in the bubble, and they also hold their lessons here.
I had Carl as an instructor and he was pretty good. If you’re a a kinaesthetic learner, his teaching style will probably work well for you. He focuses on helping you get to the point where you can «feel» what a good shot is so that you can replicate it when you’re in your own.
Overall it’s a decent range and Carl was a gold instructor. I’d recommend getting the groupon and coming here.

Review for their Children’s Golf Camps: very poorly run. The camp counselors are teens who have been hired for their hourly wages and go through the bare minimum effort.
This camp is meant for children 12 years and under but when we were there, a very large and aggressive 13 year old boy was signed onto the camp. The 13 year old bullied some young kids. Markham Golf Dome apologized and proceeded to go back and forth on whether they would kick this boy out of the camp. In the end, a lot of promises were made by Markham Golf Dome but nothing was done and he was there for the duration of the camp.
There are a lot of well run camps in and out of the city. Unfortunately, Markham Golf Dome Camps isn’t one of them.

Indoor driving range is a must for Winter here, so I will not forget my swing during the whole freezing winter.
I have been going to Markham Golf Dome for years. I, once, bought a short term membership for one Winter season. Usually I buy deal from Groupon for an-​hour single visit. There are two decks but I try to avoid the upper deck if I want to practice full-​swing. The indoor range is counting by hour. I especially enjoy practicing my short game here because I can hit as many golf balls as I can. There are putting area, chipping and sand trap practice areas all in one roof.
I tried the outdoor driving range by bucket. I am not a fan of this outdoor one. It is not the worst but I just don’t like it. There are many more better choices for outdoor driving range.

Not a bad spot to get your golf fix & work on your swing in the winter. Always very busy which is great for their business and the game of golf. Like many places in the GTA, hourly rates are a little pricy.
Maybe I’m a little critical after seeing quality of courses/​ranges in USA for less money.
Staff is very friendly, and lessons are available.

A great spot for beginners, just about every summer I drive over to the Markham Golf Dome for the indoor driving range because of the heat.
Private lessons are available and there is an outdoor driving range for golfers with more experience.
Overall, this place is average. It’s not a very pricey place but you can find better ranges for a lot cheaper, when the weather is cool — I tend to head over to the range at Kennedy & Major Mac (Just North) across from the Angus Glen golf course. Buses always come and go around the dome because it’s where the York Region Transit parks their unserviced vehicles.

As the Duchess, I have to say I don’t have many complaints about this place. You pretty much get what you pay for. The heat could get unbearable during the summer if you’re using the outdoor driving range. The driving area on the grass is not recommended — there’s barely and grass there and could be muddy and slippery if rained the night before.
The indoor staff seem to be high school kids, who probably get paid minimum wage since it’s really not the best service.
I bought the ten bucket deal, so I’ll continue coming back here till I’m done or find somewhere closer to home.

I been here about 5 times. I think it is alright, i do not think they have markers that go very far in the outdoor range.
outdoor prices
Jumbo Basket $ 15.71
Regular Basket $ 12.86
I also do not like the indoor staff ppl at the counter i find them to be rude. usually the people outside like the ball guy is nice.
it gets really busy on weekends. Also some of the cliental they get are really annoying. i went onetime after work and this guy kept on mercilessly telling me how to get the perfect swing… i ended up picking up my stuff and moving.

Have been coming here since I was in university. In fact, this is where I began my oh so successful ‘golfing career.’
It’s a two-​level plus outdoor golf range that gives you the opportunity to practice your swing. Another perk is that they have quite a few golf professionals who offer their expertise in the form of lessons. I would highly recommend Jimmy (an older Korean gentleman). He was an excellent instructor.
I can’t speak for other days of the week, but on Sundays MGD has an early bird special before 10 AM. As Wayne C. mentioned, it’s mad busy here so if you decide to come on a Sunday, go super early or super late. Come in between and you’ll find yourself sitting in the ‘dining’ area and killing time.
The popularity of this place blows because you’ll find yourself waiting if you come at a sane hour on Sunday… but I can’t physically stop people from entering so what can you do.
Yay, I’m a fan.

This Markham Night Club…
I mean Golf Driving Range was BUZZING on this Wednesday evening barely able to find a parking spot. We arrived to this dead-​end road where nearby was a Public Transit stop as well as Garbage Truck stop.
Parked in front of the DOME we walked in and saw such a nice lobby in the realms of Driving Range spots. Huge counter with big menu-​board and even a small shop in case you need some accessories.
In the same room was a dining/​seating area where you can go up to the same counter and order some FOOD & Beverages then chill and watch TV on the LCD. Food offerings at a Driving Range only spot is rare from what I’ve seen.
You can choose to use the Dome or go outdoors where you can choose from Grass or Turf. Why did I comment on the Night CLUB? Aside from night time when bright stadium lighting turning on, it seems that this scene is super hype and everyone comes here as there was barely an open spot in sight.
Most people come in groups of 5+ which I didn’t know was the trend these days. The WALKWAY was super narrow between the tees and the seats, and when these people watching their friends tee off they tend to block the walkway for others as if it was a line-​up at McD’s.
There is a PUTTING area for practice as well as a Mini-​Golf area for the kids which cost $ 5.00 and second round free. I didn’t provide TOP ranking because I usually like my experience to be quiet and relaxing as if I was at a calm patio space.
