The Range At Valley View

I love that this driving range is very easy to find, not been too packed when I’ve gone and was found via Groupon (so it was cheap).
We went with friends for an afternoon and had so much fun. Don’t expect fancy amenities. There’s only a port-​a-​potty instead of a bathroom. The clubs are pretty old but free to use. I really had a pleasant experience here.

First off, this place unfortunatly has become somewhat of a disaster and an eyesore over the past decade. When if was first built, it was amazing, and had a state-​of-​the-​art driving range with two levels, an indoor pro shop inside a giant golf ball shaped dome, a childrens playground, an excellent mini golf course, and batting cages (I’m not sure if they were ever completed, but the foundation, light posts, and some of the fencing are still there). Nowdays, all of the landscaping is ugly and overgrown, the dome collapsed and the foundation is still sitting abandoned, there are no batting cages, they playground is gone, and the mini golf is severely deteroriated. The driving range itself is falling apart, with holes in the netting the stops the balls from going in the river, the second story is premanantly closed for safety reasons, and there is an oil/​gas well IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DRIVING RANGE!!! Talk about bizzare!!! There are big banners and flags that say «OPEN» all over the building, but I rarely see people there anymore. When I was there about a month ago with my friends, there was only one other person there. The business has no website, so you pretty much have to call or drive by the business in order to find out their hours and prices. There was only one employee working when I went, and he was sitting in the office listening to the radio due to the fact that no customers were there. Overall, this place is weird and deteriorated, but the prices are pretty reasonable, and the place has serious potential, so it’s worth a try if you’re a golfer.
