We just moved to Oakley and I was looking for a golf shop to change the grip on my putter. Yelp directed me to this shop which was just a mile from my house. I was impressed the moment I walked into this place. I was able to meet Brandon, the owner. He also replaced my old grip with the new one. It didn't take him long to replace it. I checked the place and I was amazed by the size of the putting green and the indoor simulator bays. This one looks like a golf man cave and every golfer will enjoy the activities they offer. The shop has a lot to offer for all levels. If you live around Oakley or Brentwood, you don't have to drive far to get your golf accessories, such as golf balls, bags, and gloves. I think they sell golf carts too. For a minimum monthly fee, you have unlimited use of their facilities and also a discounted price on their equipment. If you need golf equipment or services, you have to check the Golfballin

I have been following GolfBallin on Instagram for about 8 years. It was time to get new irons and this is where I decided to do that. I drove an hour away from Dixon to check it out. Brandon was very knowledgeable and hella cool through the process. It's a sick golf shop with all kinds of accessories you've never seen. Ended up getting new irons, new shirt and he regripped my putter. Very happy with the experience. If I lived closer, I'd be a member. The outdoor simulators and putting/chipping green were awesome. You have to check this place out. It's worth the drive.

A Hidden Gem Turned Golfing Empire - Incredible Service and Vibe! I can't say enough good things about Golf Ballin' in Oakley, CA. I first stopped by 15 years ago when it was just a small trailer operation--and today, I walked into what has become a full-blown golf and entertainment destination. The growth of this place is nothing short of amazing. The owner actually remembered me from all those years ago and took time to chat about golf like no time had passed. I came in to get my clubs regripped, planning to leave them overnight, but instead, he regripped them on the spot while I browsed the shop and putted. That kind of thoughtful, personal service is rare these days--and it's exactly why this place has such a loyal following. The facility itself is next level: state-of-the-art simulators, putting greens, chipping areas, and even bunkers with real Pebble Beach sand. Whether you're looking to practice, play for fun, or just hang out, there's something here for everyone--including an arcade, space for private events, and even weddings and company gatherings. If you're anywhere near the East Bay and love golf (or just a good time), Golf Ballin' is absolutely worth the visit. Great people, great vibe, and a true local success story.

Always an awesome experience definitely, nice to do on a hot summer day you get to play your own music and have your own private room with AC. I have been here twice now and has been awesome every time! Couldn't recommend it enough owner is very nice and helps you with whatever!

As a first-time golf mom to a 6'1" sophomore, I had no idea where to start when it came to getting my son properly fitted for clubs on a budget. Thankfully, Brandon at Golfballin went above and beyond to help us out. His generosity and expertise made what could have been an overwhelming experience a seamless and enjoyable one. My son played golf when he was younger with a great Callaway junior set, but as he's grown, he needed clubs that actually fit him. Brandon not only helped us find quality used gear, but he also threw in a lesson with his dad, who turned out to be an incredible 1:1 instructor. Seeing how much that lesson helped my son, I had no hesitation in digging a little deeper into my pockets to get him a few more sessions to refine his swing. As an independent graphic designer and single mom, I'm doing my best to provide my son with experiences that promote professional growth, mental clarity, and meaningful connections. Golf offers him all of that--an outlet to bond, new friendships, and the chance to be around strong male role models. I may not know much about the sport, but thanks to Brandon and his team, my son is getting the opportunity to enjoy and grow in a game he truly loves. Thank you, Golfballin, for your kindness, guidance, and for welcoming us into this world of golf! Highly recommend to anyone looking for honest, knowledgeable, and supportive golf professionals. - NLG

Brandon at golf ballin is awesome super friendly and you can tell he cares about his customers and his community what else can you ask for from a small business owner. The practice facility is awesome I don't have time to get to a course and golf every week but I do have time to go work on my game for an hour or two here or there and it has helped so much for the first time im shooting consistently in the 90's and actually seeing improvements thanks to golf ballin go out and support your local businesses!

He made eye contact with my sister then turned his back and pretended to be doing other things. She tried to get his attention again and he kept touching random things to make it seem like he was preoccupied. So she tried to get his attention again yet he remained hovering near the register after making eye contact with my sister yet again while avoiding her at all costs. My sister then yells out excusseeee me loud enough the front of the store could hear it as well as the other customers because there weren't many people in the store. No response whatsoever but he made eye contact with her AGAIN . So I suggested she call the store she's and stand in their faces while they answer. They answer the phone while I'm on three way and my sister proceeds to ask why she's being ignored when she yelled for help and the man is refusing to acknowledge her despite her efforts. She laughs and cuts her off and tells her she is leaving her duties at the register to come to the back of the store to help my sister.which lets me know that she's not only aware of his actions she is entertained by him and racist antics. If you can't employ people that can do their job and help all patrons that come in the store to make purchases then this store shouldn't be operating at all. Train your employees to understand that racism is not ok and they are an employee of the store not the owner and this behavior is not tolerated.

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.

Palm Tree Golf & Weddings offered all inclusive pricing (like Wedgewood) with catering, DJ, florist, and more. We worked with several coordinators to ensure a seamless celebration. I know a lot goes into planning and you hope for a perfect day. Despite some hiccups, the entire staff and ownership wanted to make sure everything was right. Our ceremony was beautiful in their outdoor gazebo with nice lighting. The sun will set directly behind your guests. Along with appetizer stations which also included passed hors d'oeuvres, we had an open bar for cocktail hour. Our dinner service was a buffet of chicken, salmon, and prime rib with two kinds of potato, rice and salads. There was plenty of food and everyone complimented how good the food was. Good portions and great taste, especially the prime rib. The venue uses iMobile DJs and our DJ was Eugene Macala. He was great and kept the energy and crowd engaged. Our cake was made by La Gateau, who provided a ton of samples to try before finalizing the cake selection. Florist was Paula's in Antioch that made the centerpieces and head table. Our Filipino dessert table was from La Bulakenya. We also had a private bridal suite which was connected to the women's restroom with plenty of room to store your personal belongings. I was able to bring in third party vendors, which was very important. I had violinist, Rose Crelli, who was simply amazing. I had a portrait artist, Amy Wong, Photo Booth by UrOn Photography, and sticker vending machine by Stickerella. Our guests are still raving about how fun our wedding was. From the beautifully decorated ceremony to the reception, no detail was spared. Thank you Palm Tree Golf & Weddings for our beautiful celebration that will last a lifetime of memories.

I went there first to use their driving range. I was informed that they have a membership fee and offer discounts for the tee time, range balls, and 2 weeks advance for tee times. I finally tried playing there and I was amazed by the condition of the golf course. It's well-maintained and the fairways and greens are spectacular. The layout of the course is also amazing. It's a challenging course and as a high handicapper, I was challenged on course management as well as selection of clubs. There's several holes with water hazards next to the greens. So selecting the right club and the right approach to the green is a must. I have unfortunately lost several balls on several holes. If you want this to be your home course, I suggest you get their membership and save on the tee rate, range balls, and twilight rate.
