I love the 9 hole link here, a course best suited for beginners (watch out for rogue golf balls, honestly my fellow golfers, you can’t get mad when a rogue ball almost hits you, you were a beginner once too, remember? Don’t like it? Go somewhere else, boohoo.)
Toptracer range technology is also available at this course which is phenomenal, works once you scan the bar code on the monitor from your app. Make sure to sign out or you will see your scores much different get updated while you are away from the range.
The staff at the Pro shop are excellent and very professional. They’re on top of making sure customers are not breaking the rules. They are there to help you with any problems, from people to schedules, to other issues.
The bartenders are excellent and the crowd are fun. (Please tip your bartender or just stay home, don’t be cheap.)
There’s a new permanent food truck next to the driving range at the location and are mostly open during lunch time, not morning or late afternoon.
Get a range card instead of paying per visit, you get a lot more practice range balls and more value.
There is a very long wait from Fridays - Sundays during the late mornings (10am) to the late afternoons (2pm) at the driving range. Average wait time for the driving range (in my experience) is between 20 mins (for the second floor with no shade) and 1+ hours (for the first floor with shade).
-Expect loud talking at the driving range when golfers come in groups. It’s very annoying (and can mess up your practice) but there’s nothing to do about it. Bring noise cancelling headphones instead. Or eavesdrop and write a movie about it.
-Expect customers that are waiting in line while you practice at the driving range that will pressure you to hurry up. Just ignore them, it’s not your fault they couldn’t get a spot, the lanes are first come-first serve. Take your time, let them “report” you, there are definitely entitled golfers there that are used to getting things going their way. Don’t let them.
-Range balls can be purchased with cash (exact change only) at the driving range machines OR debit/credit cards at the pro shop. You get a code to enter into the machine keypad. (Make sure to put the basket down + place at dispensing location FIRST before pressing the desired amount of balls, or all the balls will spill out on the floor, that’s embarrassing.)
This is a fun place, everyone is respectful and I haven’t had a negative experience yet in the last 5 months that I’ve visited.

Kid friendly 9 hole par 27 bay side course with city views & a permanent food truck. Over 60 bays with grass driver range open til 2pm. Outdoor glass enclosed seating with big screen TVs outside & in the Cheers style bar. A community gem.

Maybe the best value in the Bay Area for practicing golf. Mariners has several large greens to practice a pro shots. The grass and the greens are in tremendous shape. There are some holes that you can hit nearly 80 yards, two large bunkers with good sand, and two very good putting greens. I practiced my short game for almost an hour. The fee was eight dollars.

Narrow and short par three golf course to work on the short game. Compared to other par 3’s in the area and in Southern California the fairways and greens here are excellent. Great value when you buy a 10 pass for $12.50 a round. Overall, a great place to practice especially at night under the course lights.
Feb 2024: Food trailer is now open. A lot better food options than before.
Jan 2024 update: they have expanded the sitting area which is awesome!
Great driving range. Bottom level has toptracer so you can get stats on your swings. Very helpful since I'm very new to the game. 21 stations on the bottom all with toptracer. You can download the app and it will update your profile with all your swing stats. Went for the first time on a Sunday around noon. Not that bad of a wait. Got a stall in like 15-20mins. The ball dispensing machine takes cash or you have to get a range card I don't think it will take CC. The more money you put on the range card the more bonus money you get.$50 gets you $55 Also if you use a range card the buckets are discounted and you get more balls too. Large bucket $17 for 140 balls cash, but with range card $16 for 150. I mainly came here to try toptracer and I was very impressed with it. Will be back again. There are all sorts other categories on toptracer too. Games, stats, practice etc.
