Great 9 hole par 3 course. There are 2 stories for their driving range. It's never too busy and the lower gets great afternoon shade. I love that they have ball tracing at their driving range (although it wasn't working the last time I was there), and can review all of the historical stats on the app on my phone. They have a shop to do club fittings, etc. that I haven't explored yet. My only gripe.. cigarette smoke can get trapped inside the downstairs area, so I wish there were some rules about having smokers go further away to smoke (or a dedicated area far away from everyone else).

I've been to mariners a few times a week within the last month and absolutely love the facility! During peaks hours like after work or the weekends, the driving range can be pretty crowded. We found 11am-1pm on Sundays or anytime before 3 pm on the weekdays are the best times to hit the range as we can easily find bays next to each other. The course is also a fun 3-par course that's pretty beginner friendly. We always finish within 1.5 hrs max even when it's busy. It's a perfect course to practice your short game. We loved it so much we started going twice a week.

The Range

I've been going to the range and utilizing the Top Tracer system for about 7 years. I have a great amount of vision loss and Top Tracer has enabled me the ability to visualize each shot on the monitor. The staff is great and the grounds are neat and clean! I also enjoy the air traffic coming over head going to KSFO

Cheap, clean, beautiful. When I duff 90% of my shots and am upset that I suck at golf, I take a look around at how beautiful the place is and that usually fixes things.

Mariners is a good but BUSY, very busy driving range- two stories ball machine is cash only I believe but it is nice. They have the Top Golf machines that give you all the information and its a cheap version of top golf if you want to hit balls. They have the upstairs and downstairs and it is semi see through so you can tell how busy it is and most times people share but people are always here in groups so it can get busy. parking isnt the easiest but there is a lot of it. the views of the bay are nice which also means it gets windy there so be sure to bundle up!

What one of the spaces looks like

Really cool driving range with top tracer technology. I brought my family here for my dad's birthday and they all had a good time. We aren't super serious golfers. but we're all athletic and we do own our own clubs so we brought those with us. We came to the range around 8am on a Sunday morning and it was already a little busy. Although the first level had a couple open spaces my family and I opted for the second story so that each of us would have our own station. It also worked out because on the second story you could see the land bridge to the east bay and the water more clearly so the view was a nice one. We paid in cash and for $40 we got 2 full buckets. Initially we got 1 bucket to start but my dad and brother were having such a good time hitting (and tracking where their balls where going, how far, how fast, etc.) that they kept wanting to hit more so we bought another bucket. This was my second time using the driving range portion and I'd come back again.

Love coming here to hit golf balls, relieve stress, and practice my swing. It's like Top Golf but super outdoors and food isn't being brought to you, but it totally should. They got lounge seats downstairs and some bench seats upstairs. You can play a game on a "course" or just hit the ball and see how far you're hitting them. It's a much easier drive to hit balls in Foster City than it is to drive to Top Golf in San Jose.

Balls for driving range!

Ask the Community - Mariners Point Golf Course & Driving Range

How much does it cost to use the Toptracer?

Can I bring my dog to hangout at the driving range?

Not much room on the range right now. But construction is being done at the moment to expand the downstairs range. Once its complete, hopefully end of summer or before, a friendly dog tied up with a leash should be ok. Now is ok too by the benches… 

I can play 9-hole until 10pm, right? (i assume the lights are on)

Lights turn off at 10pm every night. Sunday at 9pm. Summer hours staring 5/20 lights out at 11pm every night but sundays still 9pm. Last tee time is 1.5 hrs before closing. Starter may let you out after last tee time but you prob wont finish 9 holes… 

Whats the best time where its not busy and I can play a round by myself?

Tee sheet is usually busy nowadays at mariners. If youre worried about being a beginner and slowing the group down, dont worry, mariners is beginner friendly and everyone you get paired up with will understand as long as you warn them first, and… 

My son is now 11 years old. He has no golf experience, but considering learning golf. Do you have any program which could fit my son?

Visit the proshop and choose an instructor.

What happens when it rains?

Range usually stays open. May close early. Best to call first.

With the Ritz Carlton hotel in the back drop on the finishing holes of both courses and the spectacular ocean views, it's a memory you remember for ages. The Old Course is my favorite of the two. More character and variety of holes to challenge your skills and course management. Good greens and fairways among the quietness as you wind through the nice neighborhood homes along the course. 17th and 18th are their signature Pebble Beach like holes. On that final hole, nothing beats hitting your approach onto the green after carrying the water in front of all those Ritz Carlton guests!! You might even get some applause for it. The Ocean Course is what most visitors want to play, with many more Ocean view holes, but not as much variety of holes and shots. Still a good colf course with challenging shots and bunkers to navigate. And being on the water, it can get pretty windy, too. It's not cheap but when compared to rates at some of the other top public courses in the Bay Area and Monterey, it's a pretty good value and you definitely don't want to miss it.

I had booked our tee times well in advance, but there was a bit of a miscommunication on the books when we arrived, and the staff seemed surprised by our family check-in. Honestly, Nate was the absolute MVP of the day. Without him, our day would have been ruined. So, we truly appreciate him and we were so grateful that he went above and beyond to get us completely taken care of, ensuring our family was able to stick together and play/spectate as a group for the whole round. We timed the day perfectly, wrapping up on the 18th hole right around 8 PM. To cap off a great day, we had dinner at The Conservatory. The customer service there was top-notch, and the food was exceptional. My dad enjoyed it so much that he already wants to come back to try out the Ocean Course next time--hopefully with a more organized situation at check-in!

I just returned to the game after a 20 year hiatus, and considering the age of my clubs, I knew I…read morehad to get a new set. With that in mind, I also knew that I didn't want to get clubs at a big-box retailer like SportsMart because most of the young kids that work there, while quite nice, are usually pretty clueless about the particular sport - especially golf. So I searched for smaller retailers and came upon The Golf Mart, which is on the Mariner's Island Golf Course property in San Mateo. Great thing too, because it's literally two minutes away from my office! In any case, when I got there, I spoke with Jerry who is one of the store managers and told him I was looking for a set and that I was once a low handicapper. As I was determined to get back into the game, I wanted to get a set of clubs that gave me the forgiveness of a game improvement club but allowed me to work the ball as I got my swing back. Jerry showed me several, but as it was late in the day, recommended that I come back when I could go to the range to try the clubs out. The next day, I returned and worked with a very nice fellow, Brian. I explained my situation to him and he immediately started pulling clubs. I tried Pings, Calloways, and ended up getting a set of Mizuno MX300's, which are the absolute BOMB! Love these clubs. It also helps that the shop custom fits the clubs. So the buying experience was simply outstanding. I also ended up getting a Taylor Made R9 driver and a Burner 3-Wood; both fitted to my swing. Here's where it gets GREAT, and why I will be coming back to that store from now on: Their customer service in every way is the best I've ever experienced! First off, they have a 90-day guarantee on ALL the clubs they sell. If, within the 90 day period after you buy a club, you don't like it, you can return it, no questions asked. I took advantage of this policy. To help accelerate getting back into the game, I took lessons. In one lesson, where I was practicing with my driver, my instructor couldn't figure out why I so ahead of the club. Then he checked the flex of my driver's shaft, and said the problem was that it was a regular shaft and my swing was too strong for a regular shaft. At that, I went to the shop (which is literally 100 feet from the range), told Jerry about my instructor's feedback, and he re-shafted my driver right then and there. I was even a couple of days beyond my 90-day eval period, but Jerry said that since I bought a whole set there, he wanted me to be happy, and it was worth it because I'd come back; and I have since then. Just this past week, I bought two hybrid clubs and I'm totally confident with my purchases! So if you're looking for a great store that has a great selection and more importantly, great customer service, look no further!

You know what's awesome about The Golf Mart?? They have a 30 day exchange policy with 100% exchange…read morevalue! That means if you buy something and you can't hit the damn thing you can bring it back in 30 days or less to exchange it for exactly what you paid for it. Then you can get something that better suits your fancy. They've got great prices and extremely knowledgeable staff. For those of you like me who don't feel worthy enough to purchase brand new clubs they've got a nice selection of quality used clubs as well.
