The distance markers must be clearly depicted. The player must be able to follow the full flight of the ball down the range and discern its resting place.
The general illumination of the range up to the first target area must also appear reasonably uniform so as not to cause distraction. Golfing tee areas will require separate illumination.

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR GOLF DRIVING RANGES.
Due to the extremely long driving range distances, typically 100m to 250m, it is necessary to use high powered floodlights at high angles of elevation to provide adequate vertical illuminance at each target area. Mounting heights will have little significant influence upon the resultant illumination of the distance markers. All golfers will be driving from positions in front of the floodlights and are not required to retrieve golf balls. Glare to golfers is not; therefore, an influencing factor and so low mounting heights may be used.
In layouts where several booths converge towards a common target area they may be illuminated, in groups, whereby the overall flight path is covered by the beam widths of the associated floodlights. As each floodlight will contribute to the target illumination it should then be possible to use lower output floodlights in this instance.
Glare to the surrounding neighborhood is possible from viewing directions towards the golf range, in the direction of play. There is no practical advantage in using high mounting heights to overcome this because of the distances involved. Natural screening is the best practical solution

The driving range main floodlights are unlikely to provide sufficient illumination of the tee areas. These may be adequate illumination from additional low powered floodlights mounted on the main floodlighting columns and directed at these areas. Golf driving ranges with covered booths will require separate lighting within the booth, usually from waterproof florescents.
