Grounds

Sold out of rubber tees. Most of the range is shaded. Didn't have to wait. An extra $3 for large bucket ($15) here other places are $12 -- however they use an automated machine so feel more comfortable knowing I'm getting what I'm paying for. Other places just eye ball the amount of balls they put in the bucket. Ample parking. The greens are beautiful. Good option!

Trail around the course
Terri C.

This is a great place to run around a golf course if you've ever wanted to do that. My brother used to live in this area and would run here regularly for his cardio. He took us here to get some miles in yesterday and what's nice about this place is that there's a trail that encircles the golf course. It's a little over 3 miles for one loop, there are some great trees for shade, and I didn't get hit by any stray golf balls.

Great course to improve your distance.

Live close by to the course but never been here before..played woodley before..went on a Sunday morning 7:20 tee time only the back 9..great price 21$ walking rate..course had a bunch of par 4 to test your distant..fairways are decent make sure you hit straight..trees on both sides of each hole to avoid..greens were nice can be aggressive no slopes on them...I really enjoyed the course..wasn't too challenging

Balboa and Encino golf courses are located in the same area. Balboa is located on the left side and Encino is located on the right side. Both courses are very similar. They are both flat and easy to walk with a push cart.

Love the course. It's challenging and fun at the same time. Pretty flat and open. Long par 4s and a couple of par 5s. I love playing here

I don't know what was up, but Friday the 13 and this place was packed. Apparently no one was…read moreworking including myself....lol... I arrived just after 1 in the afternoon and the parking lot was pretty full. Ok, Friday I get it. Then once you get to the balls station, there was also a line. Also it was a first time seeing them refill the machine after collecting all the balls. And then you have the range, every single slot was occupied. That was a rare sight to see. It's alway easy coming here and there's alway a few open spaces but this day, completely packed. People left their clubs behind each spot to reserved their place until the individual was finished. It was about a 10 minute wait till the space was available. But throughout the whole time, the place was still busy with people waiting. That was for both the covered spot and non covered. Of course you have to head over to the clubhouse for a nice cold one afterwards. That too was quite busy on the patio. They served food, snacks and alcohol. It ls a nice spot for a quick load up on snacks and drinks for the course. Or a a nice cold drink afterwards. It's a nice neighborhood course and range. Plenty of parking which is a plus.

Subpar golf course…read more Bad cart "paths", was dirt a lot of the time. All the sand traps were just dirt, no actually sand. A lot of dry spots everywhere. And on top of that, water sprinkler turned on right at me. Missed me by a foot. It was 10am. They shouldn't be turning on the sprinklers at that time. Only positive was that the carts had ranges to the hole so I didn't have to keep guessing.

The first time around was actually a very positive experience and I look forward to returning, considering the fact that I live five minutes away . But two days ago I came in and the older Asian man or owner of the business was who was there. There was no hello or any type of greeting At least not at his part. All I was being asked was if I had been there before to which I replied yes . To my answer, all I received was a blank stare.. I tried to disregard it, and instead asked him after informing him that I was left-handed that I would be needing a left-handed set up . He still looked at me up and down like I was crazy, but I tried to be patient due to the fact that there was a bit of a language barrier . When I told him I needed one hour, I tried to peek at the clipboard with the pricing to which when he saw me do so he put his hand over the clipboard and covered it . Again, he had asked me and repeated if I had been here before . At this point, I was a little frustrated because I've already answered that question. And so I repeated a resounding yes . So he hesitates and then he tells me I will have to wait . Absolutely no problem with that . and after sitting for almost 25 minutes, he finally takes me over to a tea box that wasn't even being used. Oh wait, there's more . Thewas very little help in trying to set up . And from the looks of it, it looked like this gentleman didn't even know how the equipment works So after 20 minutes of trying to get the simulator to start working on my own . It was that I was able to finally get some practice. And if all of that wasn't enough at the end of my time, I was just gathering up all the balls for the next person .(just exercising a. Bit of golf etiquette.) this man came to snatch the shovel away from me. Now I understand we are living in some trying times . But given that this gentleman also has a language barrier as to imply that he's probably also an immigrant, the way I was made to feel like I wasn't welcomed and then made to wait the way I did seemed a little bit of unfair and unnecessary to me. It's safe to say that you guys have lost my business . And that I won't be returning. I know I might look like a Mexican from the ones you've been seeing on TV acting stupid. But let me assure you, we are not all the same . No hard feelings, but I'll never be back there again . I've only been golfing about a year and a half, and this is my worst experience since I found the sport

He was helpful. It's not too crowded to I just walked in. They have complimentary nespresso coffee. Parking was convenient. I'll be back for sure! Great technology. Got to chatting with Chris about his background. It's been open for a year and highly recommend this. You got info on your swing and it's clear he made a solid investment into the machines. It's not the most vibey but that's not what I'm here for. Enjoyed it for all the useful things it provides and great service.

I'd never tried virtual golf before but my son and I had fun practicing our swings. I also noticed there were a few people taking lessons but they have several bays so reserving an open spot wasn't a problem. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Definitely a cool concept if you want to improve your game or learn to play.  I also hosted my birthday party here. After the recent fires the outdoor air quality was terrible, so I began searching for an indoor activity for my birthday and decided on Valley Golf. Christian and Tiffany, the owners, were so easy to work with and responded quickly to my questions. All my guests, kids and adults, had fun playing on the golf simulators. On the other side of their space they have a nice lounge area and tv where people could mingle and have some food and drinks. Music selection was perfect and overall Valley Golf was an excellent choice for a fun birthday outing. I would definitely host another event here in the future.

I' m so glad I found the golf instructor I'd been looking for! Coach Ayumi is incredibly detailed…read moreand patient, exactly what I needed as someone starting with zero golf knowledge. Also I was worried about hurting my back and neck when I started, but she taught me the right techniques to stay safe and avoid injuries, such an important part to enjoy golf in long term. I've been taking lessons with her for almost a year now, and I couldn't be happier. The most fun part was going out for on-course lessons, learning the rules, handling real situations, and getting comfortable out there. Now I feel confident playing anywhere, and the biggest surprise? I broke 100 within just one year! If you want to learn, build confidence, and enjoy the process, this is the perfect place to start your golf journey.

It's been a year since my lesson package with Ayumi, I was waiting to write this review to see how…read morethe instruction held up for that year, and it has held up perfectly. During lessons Ayumi educated me on my golf swing, how it should change, and taught me to self-analyze problems that arise. Everything was very methodical and understandable...which I needed. I am now 62, have significant arthritis in my elbows, and was concerned I wouldn't be able to keep playing golf with my rapidly worsening home-brew swing. Ayumi has given me the knowledge to keep playing, my handicap which was 20 and heading up at the start of last year is now 14.8 and trending down.
