4 reviews for Stanford Driving Range
In a previous review, I gave this range one star. However, I just spent an hour there today, and was very pleasantly surprised.
They replaced ALL of the nasty, worn out mats with new ones. Additionally, it looks like they have replaced a majority of the balls with fresh ones. On top of all that, the guy in the clubhouse who sells the tokens was actually very nice.
I think it's important for Yelp reviewers to make changes to reviews when warranted. This was one I was happy to make.
Keep in mind, they still have no food or beverages other than a soda machine. It was quite crowded the majority of the time I was there, although I was able to find an open mat in a relatively short amount of time.
I rated this in my review of Stanford golf course accidentally. You can only hit off mats as the nice lush grass stares you directly in the face. The balls are so-so and the mats are pretty worn. Last time I was there you had to by the plastic Tee, which I thought was outrageous.
If you can make you way over to where the golf teams practice and hit balls there you will be a happy camper. Nice putting and chipping area and you get to actually hit of grass.
The range is nice for a college campus I just can't stand the fact that you have to hit of mats. Oh and they might have one of the smallest crappiest practice putting greens I have ever seen.

You got to hit off of mats.
Plastic tees.
No parking.
Off the beaten path and expensive.
That is why I am giving this only 2 stars. But is the only game in town so that is why it is always packed with duffers.
You get to chip and putt though which is nice for practicing but you can practice on the Stanford golf course too. (A little secret)
Better than Golfland though.
I've taken golf lessons on and off my entire life and never seemed to progress, but Jim Miller has shown me the light. Jim's instruction is methodical and he really gives you a framework to think about your swing... I'm smitten.
