The Great Lakes Golf Complex is a three level, 90 station range under the largest Dome in the U.S. (95′ high by 110 yards long). The design consists of a three level deck with a ball wash supply room behind the deck. The range offers both time rental and price per ball options to its customers. In their first season with 62 Northstar II stations in use, they exceeded 95,000 balls/day and averaged 180 balls/station/hour.
At Range Automation Systems we can install our systems anywhere. If you can dream it we can do it! On the Lady Lola, we created a unique golf experience. By installing a NorthStar Auto Tee inside the deck, the impossible becomes possible! In order to get the auto tee to raise up from inside the ship, there required a bit of engineering. In this case, now the owner can take his automated driving range anywhere in the world.

Presently ranked one of the Top 50 Stand Alone Ranges in America. The Golf Center Des Plaines features a three-tiered, year-round driving range with 80 lighted & heated hitting stations.
Now featuring a new conveyor system! They contracted RAS to upgrade their aging conveyor system. Instantly, they were more than pleased with the results!
The Golf Center Des Plaines had an aged and broken screw-type conveyor. This old type was slow and needed constant repair. It could not keep up with the demands of the range. However, now with a high speed conveyor from RAS, they are better than ever. If you think your range could use an upgrade, check out our conveyor page to find out more. Or just give us a call and one of our experienced professionals will be happy to answer any questions you may have.
Golf Center Des Plaines Testimonial Golf Center at Des Plaines “We are one of the premier driving ranges in the United States and were in need of a major overhaul on our ball delivery system. We have 3 floors with 80 stations that is open year round with over 12 million balls hit annually. Our old system did not function at the level that we needed with the volume of golfers that we have. We were very comfortable with RAS when they came out to look at our system in detail. The new system was installed while we were open for business and was very timely. Their customer service and support is top notch and could not have asked for anything more. The customer support has truly blown me away. With the new system, we never run out of balls for our customers. The customer feedback has been overwhelming with all positive feedback. On top of the performance of the new conveyors and system, we have been able to cut over $40,000 a year on staff cost as the system is much more efficient. We will certainly look at working with them again in the future!”
