Smarter ranges in action—UK case studies

Share

Kingsway Small Ball Ditch

Modern golf operations are moving fast. Operators don’t just need equipment—they need connected systems that deliver efficiency, automation, and scalability.

Facilities leading the way don’t just keep up with demand—they build for the future. Automation and integration are no longer “nice to haves”. They’re the tools that allow venues to serve more players, cut overheads, and get more from every square foot of the range.

…and that’s where Range Servant comes in. Our robust systems strengthen operational efficiency, reduce risk and protect revenue with consistent performance across the range—keeping operations tight and tech-forward with minimal disruption. From robotic picking and automated washrooms, to cashless dispensers and integrated payment systems—we help operators simplify ball management so they can focus on what players see out front: a seamless, modern golf experience.
