Ballyearl golf driving range to close for around 18 weeks 'for essential maintenance'
The golf driving range at Ballyearl Arts and Leisure Centre in Newtownabbey is to close for several months to allow for essential maintenance work.
Antrim and Newtownabbey Borough Council said the facility would be closed from Monday, June 1 for approximately 18 weeks.
It is expected the range will reopen around October 2026.
A council spokesperson said: "While the driving range is closed, the golf course and Ballyearl Arts and Leisure Centre will remain open as normal.
"You can use the driving range at Allen Park as an alternative venue. Before travelling to Allen Park, please check daily opening hours by calling 028 9448 1324.
"These works are scheduled for this time of year to ensure the best growing conditions and allow the grass to recover properly.”
The council apologised for any inconvenience as a result of the closure and thanked people for their understanding.
