    There is one 5 minutes drive the Roscommon side of Athlone half mile or so off the main road, it is well signed.

    It's down to the right about five minutes past the Hodson Bay Hotel as you go towards Roscommon. I think it's the same road that you use if going to the Bridgets GAA club.
    It's not a very fancy set up but then all you want is to be able to hit the bloody ball

    I'd say about 14 miles, 20 minutes at a handy pace

    Er, no it wouldn't.
    Most golfers are already members of the golf club which provides most of those things

    golf ranges only work with a very large population who don't have the time to go for a round of golf and want to improve their game
