Fort Lauderdale's Range Scene
Fort Lauderdale sits at the centre of Broward County's golf corridor, with driving ranges spread across a wide area from Deerfield Beach in the north to Hallandale Beach in the south. The region's dense urban layout has pushed many newer facilities indoors, and Fort Lauderdale now has one of the highest concentrations of indoor simulator venues in South Florida. That said, traditional outdoor ranges remain well-represented across the suburbs, offering grass tees, covered hitting areas, and a more classic practice experience.
The county's year-round warm weather makes outdoor practice comfortable for most of the year, though Florida's afternoon summer storms make indoor options particularly valuable from June through September.

Tips for Fort Lauderdale Golfers
Beat the Afternoon Rain
Fort Lauderdale's summer months bring reliable afternoon thunderstorms, typically arriving between 3PM and 6PM. If you're planning an outdoor session from June through September, aim for morning slots. Indoor venues are unaffected and are worth considering as a backup option on stormy days.
Book Indoor Bays in Advance
The more popular simulator venues — particularly Strokes N Drivers and Lauderdale Links — can fill up on weekends. It's worth calling ahead or booking online to avoid arriving without a bay available.
Explore the County
Broward County's ranges are spread from Deerfield Beach to Hallandale, so it's worth checking the full map before committing to one facility. Several of the best options — like AllGolf at CB Smith and Topgolf — are in the suburbs rather than Fort Lauderdale proper.
