Kiddo practicing
Yesenia B.

Deer Valley was very convenient! Not a golfer myself, we took the golf kiddo to practice his skills. It was very easy to use the ball dispenser and everything was explained nicely inside the building shack. However, the entrance was a little confusing, there were no signs directing yoU were to go. So, as you enter head straight to the yellow building at the end of the parking lot. Everything else is self explanatory. It was a sunny and a bit cold, so the range was pretty empty and we had lots of spots to chose from. We used their selection of free clubs and bought a bucket of 120 balls for $14. Very reasonable. The turf and grass areas were clean and well maintained. It was a nice way to get him some practice.

One of my friends introduced me to Deer Valley Golf Range. He grew up going to the driving range here. When I saw all the glowing reviews on Yelp, I just knew I had to check this place out. It's too bad Deer Valley isn't closer to my home or my workplace or I'd visit more often. If you want to work on your game or just get out of the house, this is the place to come. This is a humble, low-key, casual, relaxed, and laid-back golf practice facility (there is no actual golf course). There's nothing fancy about it. There is no dress code and the facility is open year-round, 365 days a year, and is lighted at night. You don't have to interact with any employees. There's a Range Servant (automatic range ball dispensing machine) that accepts cash and credit cards. Here was the range ball pricing during our visit: * Small basket - 45 balls - $7.00 ($0.16 per ball) * Medium basket - 75 balls - $10.00 ($0.13 per ball) * Large basket - 105 balls - $13.00 ($0.12 per ball) * Jumbo basket - 180 balls - $20.00 ($0.11 per ball) The range balls are Wilson Staff "Premium Range" balls. The balls we hit were in good condition. The range also offers Wilson Staff demo clubs. I believe you have to interact with a human to get access to one of those. :) One thing that I think is great about Deer Valley is they have free clubs for you to borrow and use at the range. They have men's and ladies' clubs, left and right-handed clubs, and even kids clubs. There are plenty of clubs to choose from. Not surprisingly, the selection isn't the greatest quality (admittedly, some are bottom of the barrel), but for "free," you really can't complain. I think offering these free clubs to borrow is a fantastic way to get someone into the game of golf because sometimes just the cost of renting or buying clubs can be a deterrent for potential new golfers. The driving range is nestled along the Chattahoochee River. A row of mat hitting stations faces north and a row of Bermuda grass hitting stations faces south, so there are actually two ranges which means there are plenty of spots to hit. I'm not sure if they switch up the mat/grass hitting arrangement between the north and south range, but I suspect that they might to keep the grass in good shape year-round. The parking lot, range ball machine, restrooms, cold drinks, and a training/demo shack are in between. There are up to 9 different flags/yardages. The ranges have multiple club cleaning buckets with brushes and towels. I prefer to hit off grass because it's the real thing, but it's good that Deer Valley gives you the option. Mats are more forgiving, but less realistic. During our visit, a lot of the grass on the driving range had been used up pretty good, but I was able to find enough patches of grass to satisfactorily hit all of my balls with no issues. We used the practice bunker and practice putting green too. There's a practice chipping area as well, but we didn't get around to using it. Obviously, you can work on all aspects of your game here. The practice bunker was in OK shape. There was a good amount of sand in the bunker and the sand was fluffy enough. What I like about Deer Valley's practice bunker is there's a deep end and a shallow end so you can practice a variety of bunker shots. There are also little flags around the bunker that you can aim at to make your bunker practice session more productive. Remember to rake the bunker when you're finished! The practice putting green is fairly spacious and is roughly the same size as the practice putting greens you might find at an actual course. It's made of TifEagle ultra dwarf Bermuda grass. It was in great shape when we putted around on it. The green is fairly flat for the most part, but there are undulations here and there to help you practice how to read greens and how to play speed putts. Another thing that I think is neat about Deer Valley Golf Range is, like the game of golf which is a game of honor and integrity, the business expects you to conduct yourself the same way as a customer as you would on the golf course. Cases in point: Cold drinks (sports drinks, water, soda, etc.) and candy bars are available self-serve in a fridge near the range ball machine. To pay, you just put cash into the open cash tray inside the fridge (exact change). If you pay for range balls using cash, exact change is required. If you don't have exact change, there's envelope with change that you can use. Tees are free. All this is on top of the aforementioned free clubs that you can borrow. It's nice for a business to operate like this in this day and age. And if you decide to steal something, well, there are a lot of security cameras around. Refreshments are affordably priced. Examples: $1 for a bottle of Dasani water or a can of Dr. Pepper, $2 for Gatorade, Powerade, or vitaminwater, and $2 for a Snickers bar. I like how they don't price gouge you. I've already been back and look forward to returning again.

Worth the drive from Brookhaven. Chipping/putting areas and grass tees or mats at your standard market rate.

Golf in itself is a social distance sport. Lots of walking in the woods. This place will help you stay in the sun (faraway). Swing away

The chicken was juicy and tender as well. The vegetables, potatoes, and desserts all complimented each other. The space we utilized was impeccable! We were able to eat, dance and play all in one evening. There is plenty of parking spaces. Also, they have restrooms for multiple customers and single rooms. They have three levels to play golf. We were on the second level. I really enjoyed my first visit and plan to return again.

The PGA Championship returned to Atlanta Athletic Club for the first time in 10 years. As soon as…read moretickets went on sale last year, I purchased immediately. There was no way I was going to miss a major championship in town. The tournament was a blast and I have to give credit to the Atlanta Athletic Club, PGA, the 3,500 volunteers, and everyone else who helped put this massive event together. From a spectator perspective, the tournament was very well organized. Free parking was available at Gwinnett Arena. From there, air-conditioned shuttle buses transported us to the course. There was no wait whatsoever to and from the course as far as the shuttles were concerned. The system seemed seamless. Along the way, there was always someone available to assist if anyone had a question. Located just inside the Atlanta Athletic Club gates were a whole host of enormous tents. Inside, you'd find everything from the golf shop to a Mercedes-Benz showroom to golf instruction bays with PGA Teaching Professionals. The golf shop was massive and inside was a PGA Tour fan's dream. They had for sale golf equipment, attire, t-shirts, hats, etc. in every size, fit, and color you can imagine, as well as all other sorts of golf paraphernalia. I could've easily spent all day there. Two of the tents were the "PGA Fan Experience" and the "PGA Learning Center." Inside the Fan Experience, you could record video and various metrics on your golf swing, take a picture with Jim Furyk, design a golf bag where the best design would actually be created and used by either Furyk, Anthony Kim, or Matt Kuchar at next year's PGA Championship, play games to win one of the many autographed golf bags on display, and more. At the Learning Center, you could register to take lessons and receive golf instruction on-site from a whole host of PGA Teaching Professionals. The golf instruction included video analysis, customized putting tips, and swing lessons. Since you reserve a time slot, you were free to roam the course and come back at your allotted time. Results from the video analyses were recorded and emailed to all participants. And the best part about it all: it was free. My setup and swing was compared side-by-side to Tiger Woods and Stuart Appleby. In the middle of the course, there was a huge air-conditioned tent setup by American Express and Delta. If you are an AmEx or Delta SkyMiles card holder, you could access this tent to relax and take a break. Inside, there were refreshments, cushioned seating and tables, nicer bathrooms, and leaderboards. When players were at the range, they had name tags to help you identify them. I just so happened to walk on the range while Tiger was there. He said hi to last year's champ, Martin Kaymer, and walked off. Tiger was the only player who had security following him around. Both the range and the practice putting green were slammed with players. It was neat to watch everyone warming up and fine-tuning their game. Kaymer brought out his own putting contraption to help his alignment. While the weather was hot, the course was in immaculate shape. The Highlands Course at AAC is a beautiful and hilly course. My friends and I spent most of our time on the back nine. It's amazing how good the players are, from Rory McIlroy hitting to within 10-feet from a fairway bunker on the 457-yard par 4 11th to Anthony Kim going pin high on the 267-yard par 3 15th. As the old Tour tagline went: "These guys are good." Anthony Kim autographed the back of someone's iPhone between the 14th green and 15th tee. At the end of the 18th hole, players would make their way back to the clubhouse. There was an autograph area near the clubhouse and several of the players would take the time to greet fans and sign flags, hats, tickets, etc. I ran into a lot of players this way including Fuyrk, Stewart Cink, Lucas Glover, Webb Simpson, Fredrick Jacobson, Aaron Baddeley, and others. I also spotted John Daly and Greg Norman going to the clubhouse. Players I wanted to see, but missed due to timing included Padraig Harrington, Steve Stricker, Bubba Watson, and Adam Scott. I did see Scott's caddie, Steve Williams (Tiger's former caddie), walking around the clubhouse. Congratulations to Keegan Bradley for winning this year's championship.

And while I'm not really a giant pro-golf fan, I thought this would be a fun way to spend a day outside and check it out. Other than the concessions, this was one class act, all the way through. Parking near the event was limited and very cost prohibitive so they had another option of parking at the Gwinnett Arena and taking a shuttle bus over...for free! I chose to do the shuttle thing and took it to the AAC where there was a long line of people waiting to get inside. Luckily, the line moved fairly quickly and I was soon inside. The nicely air-conditioned PGA shop was really cool with a gigantic variety of hats, shirts, coats, bags, shorts, pants, cups, umbrellas and a thousand other things with the AAC/PGA logos on it. You could probably buy enough items to fill your wardrobe for a year, decorate your house and office with nothing but golf crap, and even dress your kids and pets like little golfers...if that's the sorta' thing you're into. The weather was high 90s with a terribly unforgiving sun. But there was plenty of shade to be had and several misting booths to keep you cool, along with water vendors and concession stands every other hole or so. When the time came to break for lunch, I went to the concessions stand near holes 15/16 and picked up a pulled pork sandwich, a bag of chips and a Gatorade...for $14. Wow. I think the food at Turner Field is less than this...and oh, so much better. I tried eating the pulled-pork sandwich and it had been sitting under the heat lamp for so long that it was like eating a pile of jerky on a bun. Not cool...and so not worth $14. Other than the sub-par lunch, everything else was outstanding. We were able to get really close to the action on any of the holes we wanted to watch. The course has built a lot of space for galleries to spread out and watch without being overly crowded (despite there being a ton of people). We actually go very close enough to several of the pro golfers to be able to hear them talking to their caddies. We also saw several of them signing autographs for the kids and fans, making it a really cool experience.
