They really went above and beyond to make sure the night was perfect. This is an amazing place for golf lovers such a fun and unique setup, and all of our guests had the best time (even the non-golfers!).

There is no buffer time between reservations, which allows the business to run and honor the whole reservation time. Be respectful patrons! $60 for 1 Hour reservation UPDATED review with accurate timestamps provided by owner. We had a one-hour reservation scheduled for 8:00 PM and arrived on time. Unfortunately, the previous group did not vacate the bay until around 8:10 PM, and we did not get into the bay until 8:12 PM. We were then also set up and the group got drinks. Despite this delay, we were told during setup that we would still need to leave promptly at 9:00 PM due to another reservation. While we complied, it was frustrating to be rushed out when our reservation had already been cut short through no fault of our own. We were shortly told afterwards that the reservation afterwards would not be showing up and that we could stay the extra 10 minutes that was delayed at the beginning of our reservation. We accepted, but this was not the experience raced about by many others in the community. This experience wasn't about the money, but about fairness and professionalism. Reservations should be honored for their full duration, and customers shouldn't lose paid time due to scheduling issues. Given this experience, I'm hesitant to return. The owner demonstrated exceptional understanding and attentiveness, diligently listening to both parties involved and providing me with the precise information pertaining to our reservation. Although our party's experience was not entirely satisfactory, it is important to recognize that this is a small business located in Elk Grove, and it deserves an opportunity to thrive within the community.

They change the tee boxes often so it feels a little new each time. The greens aren't level so it's by no means an easy course, but well maintained and super friendly staff. In the last year or so, they've made a ton of improvements - new seating and Trackmans on the range, updated range ball dispenser, updated pro shop. It's super nice to see them putting in love and care into the facility! Love having such a nice course so close to home :)

I think in every city,there are things they are known for or things that are just iconic about the…read morecity and are truly spots you must visit in order to fully get a true picture of the soul of that city. In Sacramento when one brings up the golfing scene,the true mecca of golf in Sacramento begins and ends with Haggin Oaks Golf complex and Driving Range. In this review I wanna talk specifically about the driving range. My history with this range goes back pretty far,all the way back to 1996 when I moved to Sacramento from the Bay Area and didn't know a soul-so after work,especially on weekends with not much to do,I spent many a Friday and Saturday nights at the Haggin Oaks Driving Range working tirelessly on trying to perfect this game that is truly impossible to perfect. Over the years many things have changed at this range but a lot of very important things have remained the same,including a quality practice facility with well maintained mats and tees,along with quality balls to use when practicing at this location. Some of my favorite things today that they have that for sure didn't exist back in the 90s is the Top Tracer displays available at every practice stall which provides you with endless options for however you want to practice-be it golf games or serious data tracking to evaluate how far and straight you're hitting the golf ball. This facility is extremely popular,I would say it's the most popular range in Sacramento-if you come here on any random Friday or Saturday,no matter the hours,I guarantee this place will be packed,though there are so many practice stalls available,a spot will open up pretty quickly. Another thing I love about this spot is the ability to try out clubs in the pro shop before you buy them for free-you just go into the pro shop and find a club you want to try,then register with the pro shop guy and then just take the club out to the range for a quick practice session before deciding on purchasing the golf club. Haggin Oaks also has both a food truck on the premises and a bar stand where one can buy various alcohol and non-alcoholic drinks to enjoy while working on your craft. Personally I've never bought any food from the truck but I do see people rave about the quality of their food offerings. This facility also has 3 separate putting greens one can use to practice their putting game-along with a separate area one can use to work on their chipping skills for free. I will admit this place isn't the cheapest place in the area to practice when it comes to the price of the balls,but I would say their prices are competitive with most golf courses and when you include the quality of this facility,I would say Haggin Oaks is unmatched. 25 balls cost around $6,while a large bucket of 100 balls run around $22. In closing-if the idea of trying out this game I love so much has ever crossed your mind and you want to come to a family friendly,skill friendly,wallet friendly environment-Haggin Oaks is your spot. Come on out and try this beautiful game of ours called golf.

I want to start by saying that Haggin Oaks Golf Course and its facilities are fantastic. The…read moregrounds, range, and overall experience of being at the course are excellent. I truly enjoy being there. However, the quality and professionalism of some of the golf instruction staff need serious attention. I've participated in multiple group classes and had experiences with at least three older male instructors. While I respect their years of experience and knowledge of the game, the teaching environment has often felt outdated and, at times, inappropriate. There have been repeated "good old boys" style jokes, dismissive comments, and remarks directed toward women that felt unnecessary and unprofessional. One instructor, Don Pottle, even told several of us that he would "cut off our hands" if we held the club the wrong way again. While I understand that this may have been intended as humor, comments like that create an uncomfortable and intimidating learning environment -- especially for newer golfers. Golf is evolving. The culture of the sport is becoming more inclusive, welcoming, and diverse. Instruction should reflect that shift. Many new players -- especially women and younger golfers -- are looking for knowledgeable coaches who can teach effectively without relying on outdated humor or intimidation tactics. Haggin Oaks has an opportunity to lead in this area. Expanding the instructional staff to include more women and younger instructors, or investing in professional development around inclusive coaching, would make a significant difference. The facilities are great. The teaching culture just needs to catch up with the times.

Tee'd off at 4 o'clock for the first 9 and had a great time, came back around and asked if we could be fit in for another 9 and the starter said it was no problem. Fast forward to when we tee off the second nine and the starter put a group of 5 ahead of us, and a group of 3 or 4 newer golfers and their loser dad. After about 3 holes we decided to ask if we could play through, since at the point the hole ahead of them had completely cleared up. The father of the group responded "Not a chance! We're playing fine you can wait". While this would typically be whatever, it was late in the day and we were hardly able to even finish the entire 9 we played for before it was dark. Really wonderful track but irritating to be put behind an absolute loser with more players than typically allowed!

Let's get the rates out of the way first. Your swing evaluation (first session) is going to be…read more$150. Then afterward, it's up to about $215/hr. You can get a better rate if you do a bigger package. Who is Patrick best for? In my opinion, Patrick will give the best bang for buck for someone who already has a gameable swing (scoring in the 80s to 100s), has decent body awareness, and is looking for an instructor who will notice the small details that are costing a player 5-10 strokes a round. Read the reviews already here and most of them are from people who have already been playing for some time. After a single lesson, I can already tell Patrick's attention to detail is superb. The day after my lesson (I generally have wavered between a high single digit and low double digit index), I shot +3 through 11 from the back tees. Getting to a 5 index this year seems realistic now. If you're completely new to golf, you can find cheaper instructors who will give you a basic understanding of the swing. They will generally all tell you the same thing, and it will likely take you some time to get your body used to the golf swing. Once you feel like you can make contact on 8/10 balls at the range on a consistent basis, or are scoring in about the 110s, then come in to Patrick to really mold your swing. For the love of God though, do not try to coach yourself through YouTube.
