Boca West Country Club First Private Country Club in U.S. to Install Inrange® Radar Technology

Boca West Country Club is the first country club in the nation to upgrade its driving range with Inrange® radar tracking technology. The precision radar ball tracking and range gamification system provides entertainment at seven Inrange®-equipped bays leading directly out from the newly-renovated Mr. D’s restaurant.

The Inrange® technology was officially unveiled at Boca West on December 8, 2021.  The technology offers players both an entertainment-focused experience with the Inrange+™ multiplayer gaming & virtual course offering and technologically-aided practice sessions for more experienced players with Inrange® & the Inrange® App.

The Club also created an additional 19 outdoor bays available to member golfers, equipping them with the technology to perfect their game with the world’s most advanced golf training app, the Inrange® App.  Each of the site’s Mr. D’s entertainment bays features Inrange® tracking, 22-inch HD touchscreens, seating & gallery screens while the outdoor bays are equipped with Inrange® mobile tracking.

“We’re delighted to have partnered with Inrange® to deliver a revolutionary entertainment experience for our members and their families – and technology-aided practice for golfers,” said JR Friend, Director of Golf for Boca West Country Club.  “We are excited to have introduced our members to the new range where they have been able to enjoy games and virtual courses as well as having access to a truly personalized practice aid in Inrange® and the Inrange® App.  Changing the traditional driving range into a technologically-enhanced destination promotes fun for all types of players. The installation of this technology has created an environment that promotes fun and stress-free entertainment for casual golfers and technologically aided practice sessions for avid players.”
