I was hitting in Bay 1 when I pulled out my driver and, on my first swing, struck the wall behind me during my follow-through, resulting in significant damage to my club. Unfortunately, the range took no responsibility for the positioning of the bay and instead advised me that I should have been more cautious. What concerns me is that the wall I struck clearly shows evidence of being hit by other golfers in the past, including multiple holes and dents. This suggests that I was not the first person to encounter this issue. At a minimum, the range could have posted a warning indicating the potential hazard or positioned the hitting mat farther away from the building to provide adequate clearance. I acknowledge that I could have been more aware of my surroundings, and I certainly wish I had noticed the proximity of the wall before swinging. I did not expect that using the hitting stall as intended would put my equipment at risk of being damaged. I believe the range should take a closer look at the spacing of its hitting bays and consider appropriate measures to prevent this from happening to other customers.

First I'll say I'm new to driving ranges and just trying to improve my swing this year. Since I…read morelive Down the street, I finally decided to try this place. I've been to quite a few ranges the past year, this is by far the worst, Especially being a woman and coming here alone. I waited over 5 minutes for staff to even come and ring me up for balls. As they come up they ask if I even have clubs and I show them I do. I let him know I'm new to this location and was wondering how it worked. He was very short and seemed to talk down to me. So I try to find a bay, and immediately was met with a gaggle of men just staring me down. Let's just say, I was extremely uncomfortable and will not be returning. Let alone the place definitely needs a facelift. I was hoping to get lessons at this location but seeing how today went. I'll pass and go to snohomish, they're much more friendly.

It was a fun and engaging session with local real estate pros and various small business owners. The golf course is a very beautiful setting and our space at the Greenside Grill for this event was perfect for a medium sized get together. We were just off the main dining room and there was about 25 of us. This is a very lovely facility and the views are quintessential Pacific Northwest nice. Let it be known, I'm not a golfer. But I really enjoyed being here. Even if you don't golf, this is a great place to enjoy a meal and a beverage. The Greenside Grill setup a little buffet lunch for our group which was very good. The staff here is super helpful and attentive. They also had a screen and projector so I didn't need all the equipment I brought with me. I now find myself rethinking why I don't golf! If I did play I'd certainly want to hang out here often! This place is such an Everett gem. Though I'm a native of the PNW (Renton), I simply do not know this particular neighborhood in Everett so it was such a great discovery. I hope I get to do more events here in the near future!

When my friends started playing golf a couple years ago, this was the first 18-hole course we…read moreplayed as a group. It's a very short course at 4700 yards and only Par 65 for 18. If you normally shoot in the 90's like me on a regular course, expect to shoot in the 80's. Also, there's no Par 5 holes, but an abundant of Par 3's. I think it's a good course for beginners, but you it can be recovering. Even though it's a short course, there are a lot of trees you can make contact with, so if you don't hit them straight, beware. Last weekend, my friends played a round of Winter golf here. On the positive side, the greens were nice for the winter. The golf ball rolled well and thank goodness there weren't any temporary greens because their temporary greens are not adequate. However, this course does not drain well at all. Even on a clear day with no rain the past 2 days, the fairways on multiple holes, especially on the back 9, were so soggy and wet. It muddied up my shoes, so much I needed to do a deep cleaning the next day. You definitely had to club up or two to hit out of the mud, in the fairway. If you're a beginner, I'd recommend playing the front 9 of this course just to get your feet wet. The price is slightly cheaper than your other municipal courses, but you get what you paid for. I've heard horror stories of the pro shop overcharging you, so I would check your bank statement the next couple days afterwards. Overall, if you and your friends are getting into golf or you have kids that want to play, I'd check out Lynnwood. If you're an avid golfer, I'd skip this one.

Let me begin by saying, I hesitate to write this review because the place runs on volunteers; I…read moredon't like complaining about people who give of their time and talent to keep a place running. I also want to credit the one paid employee who's name I can't recall (Yulie? Lulie?), and the volunteers who were extremely nice and did their best to be helpful when we rented the venue for my daughter's wedding. Bless you, ladies. The positives: The venue itself is a pleasant banquet hall with a pool downstairs, a full kitchen, and a divided loft upstairs. The banquet room overlooks a beautiful, panoramic view of the water. The room itself is a blank canvas. It can be dressed up or dressed down to suit your needs. This place is a bargain. You do your own catering from their kitchen, which has everything you need, including chaffing dishes. Their fees are a fraction of what other venues charge. And, they provide everything for the set up, except the linens. The negatives. To be fair, there are mot many. The biggest problem is the volunteers who are not always professional. Most of them were very sweet and helpful, and they are apreciated. But there were several times when there were miscommunications which causes needless stress. The worst experience came while we were setting up, and this crabby old bat working the front desk kept yelling at our children. First, she objected to them playing outside. Then she objected to them playing upstairs. Then, when one of them was playing in the hallway, she yelled so loudly, she could be heard throughout the building. I had told her, repeatedly, to not yell at the kids, but to tell me or any of the adults. I never asked her to babysit. I never said not to correct them if she saw them acting badly. But yelling, name calling, insults and threats? I wasn't having it. She discovered that raising her voice at me was a very bad idea. Had it not been for that incident, I would've given this venue a higher rating.

Most recently, I came with my parents, grandma, and aunt to celebrate Mother's Day today (Sunday 14 May 2023) with a lunch out. The club has a dress code: a collared shirt for men and no shorts for women. So, as a female, I went with my black and white Under Armour shoes, black athletic sweatpants, and a dark red crew neck sweatshirt. I cut my hair myself in a 5 millimeter buzzcut style on the Tuesday (9 May 2023) before the lunch to be crisp for the occasion. I encountered no problems in the workers correctly identifying my gender, and was not turned away. The floor plan/spacing between the tables was pleasant and the chairs had wheels on the bottom, making them easy to move, which I found nice. The lunch buffet had a breakfast section, a more savory lunch section, and a dessert section. All of the items I tried, including scrambled eggs and salsa, salad, bacon, biscuits and gravy, and a cheese blintz, were tasty. My belly was content after one round of the main buffet items. For dessert I went with a carefully cut square/rectangle of yellow cake (not lemon cake) that had a good classic yellow cake flavor and a fluffy/airy cream cheese frosting. The frosting paired with the cake exquisitely and I did not share. All of the workers were friendly and the parking lot was easily accessible. The front also has an area to pull up and pick-up/drop-off people, which was perfect for grandma.

*UPDATE* -- I just got off the phone with Strikerz Management. I'm very happy with the way things…read morewere resolved and appreciate them reaching out and offering to make things right. We had an absolutely horrible experience at Strikerz yesterday while there for our son's 7th birthday party. I never leave bad reviews, but our experience was so over the top bad and concerning that I feel a review is necessary so others are aware that Strikerz is not a place for a children's birthday party. We've been to Strikerz many times before and have always had nice experiences, so we thought it would be the perfect place to host our son's birthday party. About 15 minutes into our booking, an employee approached me and pressured me to have the kids use the slides to push the bowling balls down the lane. We already had two slides, and the kids did not want to use them, but she kept insisting that they "seemed like they were struggling." Shortly afterward, we were told that the kids were not allowed to stand together near the lane to watch the ball go down to the pins because "someone was going to get hurt." Okay, fair enough--rules are rules, and we were happy to follow them. One of our party guests, a 6 year old child, became confused and accidentally pushed a ball down the slide while it was pointed toward the "sidewalk" used by employees to service the lanes. There were far more adults than children at our party, and many of us saw what happened and immediately jumped up to help retrieve the ball and show our guest where the slide needed to be pointed. Immediately afterward, an employee rushed over and snapped at me that "bowling down the sidewalk needs to stop NOW." I was very taken aback and explained that it had happened once and was an accident. He insisted that he had seen it happen multiple times. I know for a fact that it happened only once. I was sitting there watching the kids the entire time they were bowling, along with many of the other adults in our party, and none of us saw it happen more than once. I told him again that I had only seen it happen once and that we would handle it if we saw it happen again. He then told me that if it happened again, he would "shut us down." He turned and walked away while yelling profanity and slamming his fist down on tables. Multiple adults who were there for our child's birthday party witnessed this behavior. I wish that were the end of it, but unfortunately, it wasn't. With more than 30 minutes still remaining on our two hour reservation, the same employee who had been pressuring us to use the slides came over to put our bowling balls away. Several adults explained that we weren't finished. She then approached me and asked if we were done bowling so she could take our balls. I told her no, that we still had more than 30 minutes remaining on our two hour reservation. She responded, "Okay, well, I just wasn't sure." One of the parents in our group also expressed to me that the staff really needs to work on their hospitality and customer service. She explained that they had been eating at a table, got up to get something, and returned to find staff vacuuming underneath their table. They had to wait for the employee to finish cleaning before they could continue eating. Throughout the party, we felt like we were being rushed out and made to feel like we were inconveniencing the staff by being there--even though we had paid for and still had significant time remaining on our reservation. It was an extremely disappointing and upsetting experience, especially on a day that was supposed to be about celebrating our son's 7th birthday.

Little did I know how much of a hassle it is to get to this place. My grandson said it would be a day trip, it was not. He lied. It was some sort of college reunion where they played alcohol games. I only played the beer pong, but Chris was was playing Mario kart. We ended up staying two nights. I didn't bring my nightgown, but my grandson packed for me. Such a sweetie pie. Anyways, The only reason for this places existence is to firmly establish the bottom of a barrel. But when you're stuck on an island, and there is only one golf course, you don't have many options. WE HAVE TO GO BACK. (lost). When you first drive up and pull into the "parking lot" you have no idea you're at a golf course. Imagine my surprise when I was told I was going to golf, and we have to park next to what's called a "driving range". Didn't see too many cars "driving" the range. This place uses the honor system where you have to pay $10 a golfer. Luckily for all 6 of us, none of us had cash. So we didn't have to pay. +1 thrift point as RAYMOND SAYs. Call me old fashioned, but I lived during the Cold War. Don't challenge me. Most golf places don't have any clubs. This places had at least 100 abandoned golf clubs. Danny, my "matest with the greatest" picked up one of these bags. However, somewhere between the 2nd and 9th hole he got dunk, and wandered off. We found him passed out on the fairway of the 9th hole. Nice boy. This place DOES NOT have golf carts. So we had to drive our truck ON THE COURSE to get from hole to hole. Of course, I drive the jeep. Just like Johnny Tsunami in the series pilot. Grandkids LOVED that shower. Probably my least favorite grandson, Chris made a good point. If there is no are no beer carts driving around then you are free to shot gun beers at every green. Grandma hadn't shotgun beers in over 2 weeks, but live like a Roman horse with an arrow in your buttocks. No bathrooms on course. It was embarrassing, but I had to pop a squat behind a rose bush on the 6th hole. I though I was hidden but I was not. I showed off my 80 year old booty to some (what I assume was ) a peeing Tom. Eric was very mad at everybody. Garrett (G$) says Eric was born mad at the world because he was born with two right feet. But as soon as he whacked a 220 yard dinger dinger off a tree onto the green (completely bypassing the fairway) it more than made up for his bad feet. Greens were in decent shape. Buckets next to where you begin driving were overflowing with garbage. Let's get this garbage off this course and into the landfills. Same can be said for those dumpers in Washington. Ok time for breakfast raisin brain By grandma bye Bye
