Athens Golf Center has completed a major technology upgrade with the installation of Power Tee, the world's leading automated teeing system, marking the first such installation in Kentucky. The upgrade, announced on July 8, 2026, aims to enhance the practice experience for golfers in the Lexington area by automating ball teeing, allowing players to focus on their swing without interruptions.
The Power Tee system automatically places the ball at the correct height, improving the pace and consistency of practice sessions. This innovation is designed to help golfers maintain focus and efficiency, making each session more productive. According to the facility, the system contributes to a more comfortable and modern environment, enabling players to practice longer and more effectively.
“Our goal has always been to create a welcoming golf experience for players of all abilities,” said Toni Schuck, co-owner of Athens Golf Center. “By adding Power Tee, it helps us make practice more fun for golfers. Plus, it helps grow the game.” The installation reflects the facility's commitment to leveraging cutting-edge technology to serve golfers of all skill levels, from beginners to seasoned players.
Power Tee systems are already in use at prestigious venues worldwide, including the home of golf at St Andrews in Scotland, as well as The Belfry, Celtic Manor, and Dromoland Castle. The adoption of this technology positions Athens Golf Center among an elite group of facilities focused on modernizing the driving range experience. The system's efficiency is expected to attract more golfers to the range, supporting the growth of the sport locally.
Athens Golf Center, located at 4400 Athens Boonesboro Road, has built a reputation for providing an exceptional practice environment. The facility is open daily from 9 AM until sunset and can be reached by phone at (859) 263-2152. More details about the upgrade and services are available at athensgolfcenter.com.
The installation of Power Tee technology represents a significant advancement for the Lexington golf community, offering a state-of-the-art practice option that combines convenience with performance. As the first facility in Kentucky to feature this system, Athens Golf Center sets a new standard for driving ranges in the region, enhancing the overall golfing experience for local players and visitors alike.
