For more than a quarter century, while prices for nearly everything have climbed steadily upward, one family-owned business in Leicester, Massachusetts, has stood firm against inflation.
Tatnuck Driving Range, a local recreation spot, has maintained the same prices since it first opened its doors in the 90s.
“We’re family business of 26 years. We opened in summer of 1999,” says ownership of Tatnuck, highlighting the longevity that has made them a fixture in the Leicester community.
What makes Tatnuck particularly remarkable in today’s economy is their commitment to keeping recreation affordable for area families. While many similar businesses have raised prices repeatedly over the years, Tatnuck has held the line.
At just $5 a bucket for 40 balls, it’s a hard value to beat.
“We haven’t raised our prices in 26 years. Same price on the golf as the day we opened. Try to find that anywhere else, folks.”
This pricing policy extends beyond just the driving range itself. Tatnuck has positioned itself as a complete family entertainment destination, featuring multiple attractions on the same property. Families visiting the facility can make a day of it by enjoying various activities.
Aside from the driving range, you can enjoy mini golf on their 18-hole course and then cool off with a treat from Tatnuck Farms Creamery serving Gifford’s ice cream and classic hot dogs.
As Tatnuck Driving Range continues its remarkable run of price stability, it stands as an increasingly rare example of a business prioritizing accessibility and community goodwill over price increases. For families throughout the Leicester and Worcester regions, it remains a destination where affordable outdoor recreation hasn’t gone out of style, even after 26 years.
