There can be huge differences in prices according to the different designs. The construction cost of using the cheapest ordinary lawn is about 10 yuan per square meter (only grass is planted into a stalk). A standard golf driving range must have at least twenty standard positions, and the total area must be at least 10,000 square meters. Including the budget for spraying and drainage equipment is about 500,000.
