Golfing is an enjoyable hobby for all ages. In Greater Sudbury, you can choose from more than 10 golf courses surrounded by scenic landscapes to suit everyone’s skill level and budget. There are also a number of driving ranges to improve your swing, and mini putt greens to challenge yourself, friends, and family. Now, do you want to try something new for your golf game? Below are another FORE unique ways to enjoy golf in Sudbury. A couple can even be done year-round!
1. Pro Putt
HOURS OF OPERATION: 10 AM – 8 PM
Pro Putt is an amazing 18-hole artificial grass putting green located at Timberwolf Golf Club. The course was built to reflect a miniaturized version of a full-size golf course including bunkers, slopes, and grass. These features allow for an exciting game with accurate detail, as the ball behaves similarly to how it would on the fairway. The landscape of rocks and trees creates a gorgeous, well-thought-out design in and around the 18 holes. Pro Putt is a great experience for golfers of all skill level. It is a must-try attraction!
2. Mulligans Indoor Golf Centre

Mulligans is a fantastic indoor golf center and driving range located in Chelmsford. Patrons can also take a lesson or purchase custom golf clubs fitted for your needs. Rene and his wife Giselle have owned and operated Mulligans for over 25 years and have a deep knowledge of the sport. Rene's passion for golf is evident—he showcased his talent for us on the indoor simulator, the same system used by many PGA Tour golfers for their own practice.
