The Monticello Driving Range, a hidden treasure to Monticello residents, will open for the 2008 season on March 24th. Spring hours are Weekdays, 10:00am - Sunset, Saturdays, 8:00am - Sunset, and Sundays, noon - sunset.
The range is located at the old City landfil, located at 904 Allerton Road. The range is open to the public through Mid-November, 2008.
The Monticello driving range features 3 different types of hitting surfaces: Natural Grass, Sand Trap or Synthetic Turf mats. Several yardage targets are also set up to allow for individuals to get accurate club distance.
A large bucket of balls, which is about 65-75 on average, costs $4, and a small bucket (35-45) is $3. Gift certificates are available year-round at the range and municipal building. Golf clubs are also available for use if needed, free of charge.
The range does close during inclement weather conditions. The range also doubles as the fall practice facility of the Monticello High School Golf Team. Driving Range supervisor is Larry Lange.
