Welcome to Wentworth
Founded in 1922, Wentworth Golf Club hosted the Ryder Cup in 1954 and remains one of the most prestigious golf venues in the UK and beyond. Every September, it plays host to the DP World Tour's flagship event, the BMW PGA Championship.
HOW WENTWORTH ENHANCED ITS RANGE
This is the story of how Wentworth Club in the UK partnered with Trackman to install a premium golf range technology to elevate its facilities to complement its legacy and drive its ambition to be the best.

But lots in play
Wentworth has swimming pools, tennis & paddle courts, a five-aside pitch and fitness & wellness facilities. But it’s esteemed reputation, and primary focus, center around golf — it has three 18-hole courses, a par-three course, four indoor coaching bays, and 16 bays at its range facility.
“Wentworth is more than just a golf club. There is something to do for everyone in the family. All of our members and their guests are welcome to use the range.”

Director of Golf, PGA Pro
“THE PERFECT FIT”
When Wentworth decided to upgrade its driving range, it turned to Trackman’s state-of-the-art golf range technology as the top-tier solution it needed. This cutting-edge system seamlessly complements the club’s high-profile partnerships with TaylorMade and its neighbors, the DP World Tour.
“We chose Trackman given its state-of-the-art technology and how premium the brand is. It’s just a perfect fit for us as a premium brand here at Wentworth Club.”

Growing the game with Trackman
Warming up in Practice is the club’s most popular Trackman Range feature. But Boyle is elated that there is something for everyone, whether you’re a beginner or a serious data-driven golfer. He said that Wentworth’s junior academy players have benefitted a lot from the club having installed Trackman Range.
“We need to keep golf fun for the kids, especially as we try to grow the game. And Trackman Range just ticks every box for kids to do that.”

Range traffic skyrocketing
Member and guest feedback has been outstanding. Wentworth’s 16 range bays are being used far more frequently now than before Trackman Range was installed. Just managing the driving range on weekends has become more of a task because it’s simply so busy.
“The members and guest feedback has been first class. Traffic at the range is certainly going up. Our bay-usage time has gone through the roof!”

“A 360° PRODUCT”
The Trackman Range technology has not only enhanced the experience for members and golfers, but it’s also provided significant business insights for coaches, fitters and management. With Trackman Portal, Wentworth can now monitor bay usage, identify peak hours and improve non-peak times by setting up events and tournaments.
Quality install from Tee to Green
Once Wentworth opted for the Trackman Range solution, installation was quick and seamless. From weekly consultation and planning meetings to opening day, the process was completed in a few weeks. Working from dawn to dusk, Trackman’s dedicated install crew worked tirelessly to ensure the system was ready to go.
“The install process and the consultation was first class from start to finish. Any questions we had they were always on hand.”

A shared ambition
A century in, Wentworth aims to remain the leading private golf club in the world. Trackman’s advanced technology is central to that ambition, helping the club continue to innovate, improve and offer premium experiences for all members.
“To be able to get your data, play games, virtual golf ... there’s something for the whole family with Trackman Range. I'm pretty excited to see where it's going.”
