Visiting Pineridge Driving Range
Pineridge should no longer be treated as a confirmed place to play miniature golf. Its archived July 2023 announcement says the eighteen-hole mini-putt was permanently closing and a different facility would replace it. The business subsequently continued posting about the driving range, which explains why an active business listing can coexist with a closed mini-golf attraction.

|---|---|
| What reopened | The March 9, 2026 post announces the driving range's season and weather-dependent opening. It does not announce the return of mini-putt. Source |
| Same property | The archive identifies Pineridge at 1732 Merrittville Highway in Welland, matching this listing rather than a similarly named course elsewhere. Source |
Our planning take
For a family putting outing, choose another course from the nearby comparison instead of navigating to Pineridge on the strength of its old eighteen-hole listing. Range customers can still investigate range services directly. A new mini-golf opening would require its own dated announcement; the range's annual spring reopening is not that evidence.
Tickets and budget
No current mini-putt admission is offered in the reviewed material. Driving-range bucket prices would not be miniature-golf tickets.
