Where are all the golf driving ranges???

One of the first steps in my journey to find places to play and practice my golf here in Singapore was to find a driving range.

A simple Google search yielded virtually nothing, and if you do get a hit, you have to click and click to get any reasonable result to which end I have pain stakingly done for you. Note that I have not played at all these ranges and may not have all the prices listed. I will save that for another blog entry. In the mean time you can always call them up to find out. I should also state that while most courses have a driving range, not all of them are open to the public.
