I went yesterday with some friends to hit some balls at the batting cages & driving range.

This place has mini-put golf (which I've never tried),  a golf driving range & putting green, and 6 batting cages with a variety of fast & slow pitch baseball & softball speeds.

The batting cages are nice but it seems like the "very fast" baseball cage was slower than I remember, so I think the speeds might get tweaked occasionally. I think it was in the upper 70mph range, and I swear before it was mid to upper 80s before that. Hitting in some of the cages can be a pain with the setting sun in your eyes, but I think later in the summer it wouldn't be an issue. You get about 12 pitches for a dollar. The helmets and bats provided are not very good. The grips on the bats may hurt your hands after a couple of turns through the cages if you aren't wearing gloves. Its hard to find adult sized helmets if the cages are crowded.

The driving range is fine. There are probably 15-20 tees, a very large basket is about $8, but the signs downfield are few and small. It is a wide open space with no need for netting on either side of the field.

Overall, I'd go back again.
