On June 17, 2008, we opened Orange Golf Driving Range in the village of Yablonovsky in New Adigeya. The driving range is a first step as we continue to move forward with our project to build Krasnodar’s first private country club community.
Since the actual golf course will not be open for another two years, we built Orange Golf as a place for people to learn golf now and improve their skills. We hope that many Krasnodarians will use our facility to learn the basics of golf and then on their next trip abroad try the game at the resort where they might be staying.

If you happen to be in Krasnodar, we warmly invite you to stop by and hit a bucket of balls. We charge 300 Rubles ($12.80) for a full bucket in the evenings. We have golf clubs (lefty and righty) for you to use, free of charge. There are private 45 minute lessons available for 1,000 Rubles ($43).
