Does anyone know of a driving range that is kid-friendly? While we have a couple of serious golfers in our group, we're looking for a place that won't mind a few 10 and 11 y/o having some fun. Thanks.

What part of the lake are you near? Kingswood in Wolfeboro has a short driving range that would work for kids. The head pro there is Kristy and she is super friendly and a great golfer. Even better Kingswood has a practice hole about 300 yards away from the clubhouse (I'm guessing it is about 130 yards from back of the fairway to the hole) on the club house side of the course. Also there is another practice hole ( much longer fairway) that hardly gets any use on the back nine. Both of these areas would seem perfect areas to teach children. I'd highly recommend Kingswood in general.

We were there for a tournament on Sunday. Hit some balls. In the past, I could only hit about a 7 iron (150 yrd club). I noticed the distance marker Sunday was 200 yrds. Don't remember it being that deep before; I do remember they had signs warning not to hit woods (driver, 3 wood, etc.)

In the Meredith area but don't mind taking a drive to the right place.

If you are in Meredith you can always go to Waukewan to use the driving range. Its great for the kids but its too short for a good golfer and the range balls are pretty beat up. For better golfers Pheasant Ridge is the far better range.

I'm sure "Baygo" can chime in on this but I believe they have a 3 hole course and driving range at his restaurant on Parade Road in Laconia. Would be perfect for kids and not very crowded,
