If you're looking for a basic, low-cost driving range, Coronado is a great choice. We went on a Monday evening during their happy hour, so a bucket of 120 balls was just $10.50. There was no charge to borrow a couple of clubs from the pro shop, and the lady at the counter was patient while we looked through our options. We didn't buy any drinks, but they sell alcoholic and nonalcoholic drinks for reasonable prices, especially during happy hour. The driving range is pretty basic, but it gets the job done. People of all ages and skill levels hang out and the vibe is pretty mellow. There may be nicer driving ranges in town, but Coronado is inexpensive, centrally located and a chill place to practice your swing. read more

It's hard to beat the feel of swinging the golf club with ease and hitting the ball on the sweet spot to watch it sail far and straight towards the hole...I wish I had more of those moments, but I'll take it when they come. Coronado Golf Course is the perfect course to come hit on the range (cash only) or get in a quick 9 holes to perfect your game. The course is 9 holes but has the feel of a larger course. It is well kept and one of those places that you just want to spend time at. The price of the range as well as the course cannot be beat; you won't break the bank and you get a wonderful course for your money. This place still has that old time feel that golf clubs of old once had and it's obvious when you see patrons hanging out before and after their tee times to shoot the breeze and enjoy life. The owner is around a lot and takes care of the place himself; he takes pride in this place and for good reason. I love this course for the feel, quality, price, and the location; Coronado is a fantastic, come see for yourself! read more

Worst course i've seen. muddy fairways, rough greens. the guy in the pro shop is disrespectful. I didn't even finish my round i left after the 3rd hole. You have to be 19 to drive a cart, i've never seen that anywhere. it was only 17 dollars but i wouldn't go there even if i was broke. spend the extra money and enjoy your round somewhere else. read more

"Driving range" is dirt mounds and dust. Don't waste your time unless you like practicing hitting shots with wildly uneven stances, ball below or above your feet and off dirt / mud. Literally 0 grass in most of the bays. Pay $10 extra and go to Papago or somewhere that has actual grass... you know like an actual course that you might play on would. Didn't even finish half my bucket because of the conditions. Not only is it dirt, you can't find a place to stand without being in massive divots , completely off balance and the ball being 6 inches above your feet. read more

I used to enjoy this place whenever I wanted to get in a quick range session but recently it's been getting popular from being featured on golf influencer swing tip videos and it's always completely packed nowadays. I'm not gonna wait for a spot on a range like this. read more

One of the last cheap golf courses in the area. $22 to play a round. Now you do get what you pay for in terms of greens upkeep, so just bear that in mind. They have a short flat city course, 18 holes. They only accept cash, at least they have a driving range. Some courses that are $200+ dont have one. Great place to play 2x a week to keep the form up. Everyone is super nice and friendly, but no cart service. read more

Coronado Golf Course and Lighted Driving Range - Driving range - Golf Near Me - Scottsdale, Arizona

Grumpy old guy in the "pro shop" always has something stingy to say. Showed up at 410 apparently the last tee time was 430 and said we were too late. Asked for a large bucket of balls- "We don't have large we have jumbo" Great man thanks - same thing You'll be hitting off dirt, and dont be surprised to find ants crawling up your leg. Won't be back, horrible customer service. read more

Asked the one guy working there a question and got the most condescending answer and he was immediately rude. The driving range is also just terrible is in general and it's cash only. Plenty of other options all around to go to first. read more

The range is a great value, laid back. Nice beverage selection. Everyone here is very nice & welcoming.

For those who are just picking up the game, or not talented enough to have a very good game. This course is perfect for you. You will really not see a lot of good golfers at a place like this. They would usually pay a premium fee to golf somewhere else. The Coronado is links style course, with a few bunkers and a couple of water hazards. What makes a 9-hole so great! You have a oppertunity to work on your short game. Course is really not in that great of shape. They are cash only, hard to get around since they have no signage. However, they do have a lighted driving range. Great place to bring your kids read more

This is one of if not the worst course's shape in AZ, Possibly America. And You still can't come here if you're looking to play cheap golf. I was under the impression it was 24$ to walk 9 holes around twice for 18 for your round and have been playing here a couple times a week over the last couple weeks for a quick round after work for some practice doing that with no problem. Today after crossing 9 and starting hole 1 again one of the clubhouse guy came out very rudely and said I had to pay another 14$ to play another 9. After walking off the tee and heading back to my car the same club house guy came out and extremely rudely and aggressively saying it's just a 9 hole course and again saying it's 14$ more dollars to play 18. 38$ to play on dirt holes/dead grass and weed fairways besides 1 and 9? I told him why would I play such a terrible condition course for that when I could play for 40$ at continental for the same price with actual nice grass he told me "Well then don't come here and go play there" I will then. You would've seen a thousand dollars out of me this year for shitter par 3 games and practice balls but I will make sure to tell everyone I meet to never come here and will never be returning. Do not waste your time coming here to even practice. Continental is half a mile away is 40$ for an evening tee and has a putting and chipping green that is 100x better. management has charged in the last couple years there and the course is in great condition. Please never spend any money here they deserve to go out of business so someone with a brain will buy it and put the love this course deserves. read more

Attendants were extremely rude to my family when we tried to pay for a round of golf. They had 10 carts available and would not rent us two for the round when the rest of my party would be walkers. They raised their voices at us, argued, and were annoyed that we wanted to have our children (ages 10 and 7) walk along with us even though another employee confirmed on the phone that it was ok for a small fee. We decided to leave the course to find somewhere that was more family friendly. If you are visiting from out of town, find somewhere else. read more

The place is great to hit some balls and get some practice in whether it be on the golf course or on the driving range. It's only 9 holes so it's perfect for a few hours during the summer months before it's gets really hot. The grass is fairly worn down and pretty under maintenanced. It would be nice if the staff took some more pride and effort to clean the place up and keep it looking nice but nonetheless a great place to practice for a cheap price. Cash only also. read more

I've been coming here for 10 years to use the driving range and to warm up on the nine hole course. Unfortunately, they appear to have abandoned the nine hole course. The sand traps are full of weeds and the fairways other than first and ninth are just dirt. When I asked the staff about it, they said because it was in the floodplain they couldn't keep it up. But several courses on the Greenbelt and Scottsdale have the same situation and they managed to keep their fairways green. Too bad. I won't be coming back except for the driving range read more

When CrackerJax closed their doors in July of 2022, I went looking for alternatives to hit balls on a driving range at night. Coronado's driving range is open till 9:00 p.m. Coronado sells their last bucket of balls at 8:00 p.m. and they are CASH ONLY. Note: This review is only for the driving range at Coronado. The range itself is very big, meaning there probably is space for 50 people to hit side by side. There are markers for 100, 150, 200 yards. Lights come from behind you when you hit and you can see clearly to at least 150 yards. The prices are extremely affordable and there's a happy hour price from 4:00 to 8:00 p.m. daily that includes balls as well as drinks for a discount. This place is an easy place to spend in a couple hours without breaking the bank. read more

Been here a few times over the years. Place could be so much better in every way. Really disappointed in the condition of the range. It's 95% dirt. Cash only inside and the dude working there was more than snarky about letting me know. Most of the public courses in this area have made great strides in recent years. This is the exception, unfortunately. Hope they figure it out. Morale about the place from the customers I talked to was very low. Person next to me didn't even know they had a course. For beginners, the course is novice proof and could be good to learn. read more

I love this place. Its lighted, has many bays and is grass. The people who work here are always extra friendly as well.

The older guy working the desk was very rude and not helpful. I would not recommend going here.

This is the worst golf course i have ever been to. They are cash only and dont have an atm on site. The gas station next door doesn't have an atm either. I'm never coming back here and this course deserves 0 stars. This business thinks they are saving money not paying taxes but they are going to lose more business than the taxes they are lying about. I hope they get audited. Never coming back here read more

Great happy hour! Large bucket for $10. Staff is always friendly--just know they only take cash.

The workers here are really nice and welcoming . It's affordable and the course was small but nice. It's too hot to do more than 9 holes any ways. If we are ever in town again, we will def come back. Dave was such a sweetheart read more

In a city of expensive and expansive golf courses... here is Coronado. A nice, inexpensive short course with an as-nice LIGHTED practice facility. Apparently a rare thing for the Valley. Also- cash only! Sometimes hard to remember that, but I believe they have an ATM machine. On occasion they may throw in a cart for your round. I've not heard of them enforcing a 90-degree only rule on the course. They try to take pretty good care of it but it would be nice if some type of winter grass would be used during peak-season instead of letting the grass die. It makes the short game even shorter slash more difficult. The greens are fun with a variety of breaks. The practice range is very well taken care of! read more

I give this course five stars because of the customer service, the driving range and the fun I had with my 14 year old son who I took to play for the first time. I liked that I didn't have to worry if we weren't hitting perfectly. I was able to show him some things and the cart was in great condition. The guy at the front desk was super nice and welcoming. It was a great introduction to golf for my son. We can't wait to play again. read more

Inexpensive greens fees, $15 for 9 holes, walking but the 50% markup for the cart is lame, especially since you're going to be stuck waiting anyway since most people walk. This is $a 15.00 practice round, great if you are beginner at golf and looking to work your swing out on a hole. The fairways are mostly dirt, putting on these greens is like playing planko, terrible condition, and this was April during prime season, so if you head out in summer expect more dust. read more

While I quarantine with my two small boys, we get to see Some old guy who works here driving around shouting at people who he claims are trespassing on the golf course. He threatens them that he will call the police. A truly awful and abusive outburst by a dude who is certainly old enough to know better. I have no problem with telling people to stay off your property. But this sort of behavior brought to a public space is entirely inappropriate. read more

Negative 5 stars. Was told that I would not have to pay for a seven year old to ride in the cart. But when you get there it's a rider fee. So that was inconsistent with information I was given when I made the tee time. When I asked why - I was lectured in a loud tone about how they are running a business. Thanks! When I look at the carts (dirty and run down) and the trash shoved in the outside fire pit I should have left. They obviously do not put money back into the business as this was the worst golf course conditions and experience ever. Not sure how anyone could say this is a decent place. Save your CASH! read more

My group of lads kindly requested 3 buckets, and the guy behind the counter stopped selling at 8:00 on the dot on July 7th 2021. We offered to return everything by 9 and he still refused. Furthermore, was very rude with his passive aggressive behavior. Terrible service, wont be coming back... Management needs to be aware of this distasteful service. My ASU golf club will never come here again, furthermore I will not be recommending to any of my peers. read more

Coming from Big Island Hawai'i where we don't get lit ranges, this was absolutely terrific. A great way for us to get in our daughters practice before her tournament at TPC. So affordable and some of the local dudes said it was the best price beer in all of the Phoenix area. read more

Just re: the range: Looking at the turf, I'm glad I turned around. Need to move the tee area more often as there wasn't much area to place your ball on the range. Most shocking? How does a cash only business not have an ATM?!! Business lost. Guess they're happy with as-is sales. As a business exec, I'll say, "if you're not growing, you're dying."9 read more

Talk about BRUTAL customer service. Called the pro shop to ask a question about the range they have. The guy in the pro shop was 12/10 on the D-Bag scale. Practically yelled at me through my phone and blew out my speaker. So now I need a new phone. On top of that, I hope the guy who answered my call reads this and starts to get on the right track. Guy seems absolutely miserable with his life. Hate to see it. I wish him the best but I also expect a new iPhone. read more

The grass here is always torn to shreds and they are cash only. When the guy told me the prices were 11.00 to walk and 15.00 for a cart, I showed up with only 20 bucks cash. Little did i know that when he said cart he meant pullcart, not golf cart. Golf cart round is 22.00. I told told him hey, u said it was 15.00 and confused me by not being specific. He did not float me the 2.00, and i was not going to walk in 100 degree weather. So I left, annoyed that he did not let it slide for the 1 customer that he had that day. Says something about this place. read more

This is definitely a fun and low key place! The driving range is a great deal ($5-$10 for a bucket of balls) and the staff is SO friendly. Bring cash and tees. read more

Coronado Golf Course and Lighted Driving Range - Golf Near Me - Scottsdale, Arizona

Cash only driving range with grass/dirt hitting areas. You really have some tight lies when hitting on the "grass" that is enormously thin this time of year. But the place was nice sized and had several options for chipping and putting. If you like traditional and rustic styled Tin Cup type driving ranges, this fits the bill. But don't get me wrong -- for 10 bucks you get about 70-80 balls. Not bad. I'll use this as a warm-up and/or practice area moving forward. Not the nicest...but probably the friendliest. read more

Their staff is really rude, it was the old heavy man that wont let me loan a hat to wear when it was our tee time up because I didnt have Cash on me & I asked if I can pay him when I'm done with my round(would have time to run to the ATM Afterward) He told me that's too bad sorry. We went there last week and my husband paid $45 and this time they charged us $50. We will Never return again. I wouldn't waste any penny there again! Really bad customer service. read more

I must say that I am a fan of this place. I haven't actually played the course yet sadly, just done the range. Dive bar golf course is a pretty accurate description from what I've seen so far and I DIG it. Any place that has metal buckets of beer in the pro shop is good in my books. I must say when I pulled up I felt outclassed (there were some fancy-ass cars in the lot) with my one lonely 1 wood, a bag of discount tees, and in some scruffy jeans. The mix of people really did surprise me though when i got out on the range. The guy in front of me was all kitted-up, matching shoes, hat, bag, the whole nine yards. And he was swinging like a champ, and I hated him for it. Then a lady takes the slot behind mine and she is wearing overalls, a sports bra and has a beer in a koozy. This made me feel a little bit better until she started driving like Tiger. Point being, no matter how much you suck at golf (like me) this is a good place to go. Cheap buckets, cheap beer, close to my place. Definitely going back read more

We came to Coronado during my brother's bachelor party and it was exactly what we were looking for: - $19 for 9 holes including cart: CHECK - decent golf and plenty of availability: CHECK - beer: CHECK, CHECK AND CHECK Not much to say other than it's a decent course, affordable and, yes, they have beer. read more

So, I KNOW a quality golf course when I see one and if you're looking for a snotty country club feeling (Princess, Phoenician, Biltmore, Talking Stick etc), this is NOT your place. The course itself leaves a lot to be desired. That said, for a 9 hole executive course that you can play quickly for less than $20, there's nothing "wrong" with Coronado. The practice facility is actually great. Putting green, chipping green and a driving range with lights that is open until 9pm...its legit for a great practice session after the sun goes down for those who don't want to feel like they're golfing on the surface of the sun. The staff is friendly, the facility is usually in pretty good shape and it's a low cost option...win win win. Only real negative: they only accept cash. read more

I am biased as I live close by and was part of the movement a few years back to save this course from the City and Giants, but SO glad we prevailed! This community gem in the rough is an asset to the area - thanks to Mr Henry Gailbraith who first deeded this land to the City and then fought to protect the destruction of this course. I see grand parents with one and two generations down WALKING around this course - just hacking away and having a great time. Over time this course will continue to improve and with it the areas around it. The driving range is great too! Long live Coronado GC :-) read more

The two-star review is simply because of the driving range. Other than that, this place is pretty crummy and broken down. The "pro shop" has merchandise sitting out that literally has dust piling on top of it and the course itself...well, you can read other reviews about how crappy of a condition it is in all the time. No clear cart paths, terribly maintained fairways, greens, and tee boxes yada, yada, yada. Now, if you want a place to cheaply work on your game then Coronado will do the trick. The best part about the range is that it stays open until 9pm while the lights are on. They also have a putting green and chipping green for your short game. Not too shabby. Lastly, they promote happy hour with cheap prices on drinks and baskets of balls. Come for the driving range, don't come for anything else. I really wish they'd put some money back into Coronado, it'd be a fun track for beginners or kids if it was properly maintained. read more

Come on guys. Join the 21st century and take cards. It's pretty silly that you get here and A) you take only cash and then B) you don't even have an atm on site. Pretty sloppy business ownership. Pay the .23 cents in credit card fees on your $10 bucket of balls for the sake of your patrons. #cheapskates read more
