A high-volume golf destination where the ball never stops moving.
Located next to the infamous Trafford Centre, Trafford Golf Centre sits at the heart of one of the UK’s biggest leisure destinations… and has grown into something considerably bigger than a traditional driving range.
Today, it operates a 53-bay, two-level facility, with Toptracer technology across the range, PGA coaching, an American Golf store, adventure golf, and a bar & kitchen serving food and drink directly to bays or tables. It’s one of the busiest ranges in the UK, with demand strong enough to drive a major programme of refurbishment and expansion.
That breadth has created a different operational challenge.
Behind all that customer-facing activity is an inevitable requirement for automated support. Range Servant’s ball management infrastructure forms that operational backbone, moving thousands of balls seamlessly from the outfield, through washing systems and into dispensers across the site. This creates a continuous, dependable loop: collect, transport, wash, move and dispense—again and again—across a multi-level range built for serious daily volume.
The customer sees a Toptracer screen, a bucket of clean balls and a comfortable bay. While behind it, a much bigger system is keeping the whole experience moving.
Range Servant products have made a real difference to the day-to-day running of our site. They’ve significantly reduced the time spend on routine duties and manual tasks, freeing up our team to focus on other important areas of the business. The efficiency savings have been essential, making daily operations easier, smoother, and less labour-intensive. A great investment for busy ranges looking for automated support
