Old Ranch Golf Practice Center
1 review for Old Ranch Golf Practice Center
When I'm in the Long Beach, Seal Beach area, I always, always do my practicing here at Old Ranch. It's a clean facility with a large practice putting green and a well maintained short game area. But it's greatest asset is its range. A long, huge range, which is used on both sides by the public (on the practice range end) and the private (on the private country club end). And if you can bomb it over 300 yards, you can hit some of those spoiled blue bloods who should be playing polo.
Anyways, there are no grass tees here and that's okay because the synthetic grass tees here are very advanced and very soft. So if you hit one fat or skull one, you won't really feel it in your arms for ten minutes.
As for the prices, sometimes they change. But for the most part its $6 for a small, $7 for a medium and $9 for a large. And these are huge buckets so you can practice for hours. The range is very wide and for the past six years that I have practicing here, I have never waited for a stall.
One very good aspect of the range is that it is close to a Roger Dunn Golf Shop, which is on Seal Beach Boulevard. So if you just bought a new Titleist Driver (I play Titleists, I think everyone should)....you can give it its first test run here.
They have a great pro on duty here his name is Bob Silver. He is an old school golf pro who can teach aspiring amateurs to newbies to the game. And he just charges $60 for an hour, which he always goes over. Great teacher, he is a little over enthusiastic about the game but I love that dearly.
So when in LBC or in SB, go to Old Ranch Practice Facility and buy a bucket. It's near the ocean, so there's always a breeze. And it's near a Target and a Quizno's.
It's open from I think 7am to 9pm. And its lighted as well for night practices.
