PRACTICE REIMAGINED: Trackman arrives at Golf Burnaby
There was a time when a trip to the driving range was all about repetition. A bucket of balls, a favourite club and a rough guess at where each shot landed. Improvement came through feel, intuition and patience.
Today, that experience has evolved.
At both Burnaby Mountain and Riverway Driving Ranges, golfers can now access Trackman Range, a state-of-the-art ball tracking and performance system designed to transform the way players practice, compete and engage with the game. Included with every bucket purchase, the technology brings professional-level insights and interactive entertainment to golfers of every skill level.

DATA MEETS DISCOVERY
MORE THAN A DRIVING RANGE
Each hitting stall is equipped with a 32-inch monitor that tracks every shot in real time, providing detailed feedback including carry distance, total distance, ball speed, launch angle, maximum height and shot dispersion. The result is an immediate understanding of what happens after every swing.
Beyond performance data, golfers can access interactive games, skills challenges and virtual golf experiences that blur the line between training and entertainment. Whether you’re enjoying a solo practice session, introducing friends to the sport or organizing a casual competition, every stall becomes a destination in itself.
For seasoned golfers, this means practicing with greater precision and purpose. For newcomers, it offers valuable insight that can help build confidence far more quickly than traditional range sessions.
The technology caters to a remarkably broad audience. Junior golfers can enjoy interactive games while casual players can add a competitive element to their range sessions through target-based

challenges and virtual rounds. Dedicated golfers, meanwhile, can analyze subtle variations between shots that would otherwise go unnoticed.
It’s a modern approach that reflects how today’s consumers increasingly seek experiences that combine learning, social connection and technology.
BRINGING THE COURSE TO THE RANGE
One of the most exciting features is the ability to play virtual golf courses directly from the driving range. Golfers can experience a rotating collection of courses from around the world, ranging from beginner-friendly layouts to championship-calibre venues. Players can compete against friends, play solo or simply explore courses they may never have the opportunity to visit in person.
A NEW ERA FOR GOLF BURNABY
The arrival of Trackman is more than a technological upgrade. It represents a continued investment in creating exceptional golf experiences throughout Burnaby.
Combined with heated stalls, extended operating hours, professional instruction through the Golf Academy and high-quality practice facilities, the addition of Trackman further elevates Burnaby Mountain and Riverway as premier destinations for golfers across Metro Vancouver.
Perhaps most importantly, the system is designed to be accessible. There are no mandatory subscriptions, registrations or complicated setups required for core features. Golfers simply purchase a bucket of balls, step into a stall and begin exploring the possibilities.
In a sport where progress is often measured in small increments, Trackman offers something rare: instant understanding. It invites players to learn, compete and enjoy the game in ways that were once reserved for elite professionals.
At Burnaby Mountain and Riverway, the future of golf practice has officially arrived, and it’s changing the game one swing at a time. T
