Out of all the driving ranges I've been to in the Gwinnett area, northcrest is the best . They have great mats to hit which is something I can not say for paragon. Yes , paragon has a tracer but it's not accurate at all and the mats look like sand bunkers. Northcrest has a friendly staff and a great pro shop that can help you with what every you need like a grip change . Highly recommend if you're looking for a golf range and they actually let you hit off the greens in summer . If you're stuck on 85n take that exit right before the traffic starts and hit the range instead. read more

Great range, big buckets, lots of balls. Great energy. Love coming here! Friendly staff, always plenty of room. read more

This is a very interesting Golf Driving Range. It's a double decker range. The parking lot is very small and tight. I was slightly worried someone would back into our car but I was also not impressed with all the trash in front of our car. This isn't the cleanest range but the double decker aspect of hitting a golf ball on the 2nd floor is really awesome. The greens were brown and the outdoor area needs to be renovated. The indoor golf shop and bathrooms were renovated which is why they received 3 stars. In Covid, being clean is very important especially in the restrooms. If they renovated the outdoor area a bit, this place would be an absolute hit! read more

Northcrest Golf - Golf Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

Not sure what people expect out of a driving range. Some of the comments are pretty picky. Complaining about the size of parking spaces? One person said it's "ok" then proceeded to list all the good things about it. I've been to Legacy and Fox Creek. They are fine. But no cover for rain, no lights, smaller buckets, and not nearly as many bays. Johns Creek is a ritzy suburban area. I would expect more. And also more cost. And the comment about cut balls??? I've gone to this range for years and maybe seen three or four. Frankly I think some of these posters have agendas or axes to grind. This is the best range IN town. It is open long hours, and consistent. Like your golf game should be. Quality Srixon balls, good mats on most of the bays, MULTIPLE marked targets with yardage, a great pro shop, BIG buckets of balls with reasonable prices, club service, lights for night practice, always a space to hit with two levels of bays. Heck they even had a bar for a while. I don't really know what people expect. Massages? It ain't a spa. It's a place to practice your golf game. You won't find a better one. At least on the NE side near town. read more

Northcrest Golf Driving Range rates somewhere between 2 ("Meh. I've experienced better.") and 3 ("A-OK") stars for me. This is an OK driving range. It's been around for many years and has seen better days. The facility is getting old and it shows. It hasn't been kept in the best shape and looks dated and kind of run-down. However, the range still has it where it counts. Ultimately, this place suffices for golfers of all skill levels, whether a beginner or seasoned veteran, to come and work on their swings. The main reason I decided to give Northcrest 2 stars instead of 3 is because when I compare it to other comparable public golf practice facilities in metro Atlanta, it's not up to par (no pun intended). Facilities like Legacy and Fox Creek in Smyrna, RiverPines and Deer Valley in Alpharetta/Johns Creek, and Charlie Yates in East Atlanta, which are priced similarly, have nicer ranges with a multitude of grass hitting stations. I prefer to hit off grass instead of mats. I think it's better to practice off the real stuff. Northcrest is primarily a mat facility. They do have grass hitting stations on the far side of the range, but the grass is not in good shape, especially when compared to the driving ranges at the aforementioned facilities (not to mention most courses in metro Atlanta). Northcrest has a practice chipping area, but it's not great. There is no practice bunker nor practice putting green. Like Legacy and Fox Creek, one thing that's nice about Northcrest is the range is lighted at night. This is great if you want to practice after hours. However, be aware that more bugs come out at night, especially around the hitting stations which are right underneath the high-powered lights on the upper deck. Beetles, gnats, ladybugs, moths, you name it. All of them have landed on me or my clubs (they love my soft head covers). I've never encountered so many bugs at one time at a driving range (then again, I rarely go to the range at night). The bugs can be quite annoying and distracting. The range has two levels with over 120 hitting stations. The stairway to the upper deck is kind of narrow, so you have to be careful when lugging a set of of clubs up the stairs. The upper deck isn't super stable or sturdy. Sometimes, you can feel the entire level oscillate and vibrate. This might be helpful if you want to practice under earthquake or aftershock-like conditions. The hitting mats themselves are in good shape. Not all of the mats are the same. The mats on the lower level in the center of the facility have lines on them to help you with your alignment, setup, positioning, swing plane, etc. The mats have replaceable rubber tees. You can swap out and adjust the height of the tee at your mat provided you can find a rubber tee at the height of your liking that is not being used elsewhere on the range. Thankfully, they do have long rubber tees made for today's large driver head sizes. As for the landing areas, it's not a pretty sight. There are swaths of dead grass, dirt, and sand. However, yardages are clearly marked and there are plenty of pins and other targets to aim at, which is what's most important. There's even an island "green" about 135 yards down the center which is fun to aim at. At the time of writing this review, a small basket (45 balls) costs $7, medium basket (95 balls) $12, and large basket (145 balls) $14, plus DeKalb County tax. If you visit often, you should look into purchasing one of Northcrest's coupon books or a monthly membership to save money on range balls. Northcrest uses Srixon and Top Range brand range balls. They are cheap, basic, and in average condition at best. There's an early bird special Monday-Friday, 9am-12pm and Saturday-Sunday, 8am-11am. If you buy a small bucket, you automatically get upgraded to a medium bucket free of charge. If you buy a medium bucket, you get a large bucket. If you don't have clubs, you can rent 3-4 clubs for your hitting session for $3. They have a grab bag selection of used, beat-up clubs behind the counter. One advantage Northcrest has over competing facilities is the lower level of the range is covered. This is great because you can still practice if it rains. The clubhouse looks like an antiquated stately mansion. The pro shop, located on the ground level just inside the main entrance, has a decent selection of merchandise from clubs to apparel. They carry clubs and bags for kids as well as some rather unique, "fashionable," and odd-looking bags and other accessories. They have $1 hot coffee and fridges with bottled Coke products including Dasani water. The employees I've encountered have been friendly and nice. read more

Not well maintained. Very basic and most importantly it's flat so you get an accurate distance.

I go here only because it's convenient. Clearly the ownership is milking as much profit out of this place as possible. Or maybe they made some bad business decisions and are just hanging on. They renovated the interior space and upgraded the café area significantly, which unfortunately included adding a deck. This deck all but eliminates the ability to use the putting green as a chipping area. And then they finished the café about when Covid hit, so it has never been opened. At any rate, they rarely even mow the area that used to be a chipping green. And the grass is so rough, that it would take a major renovation to make it into a padding area instead of a chipping green. There also used to be another area that served as a putting green, but that has not been mowed in a very long time. There also used to be a bunker that you could use for practice, but that has grown over. Plus they took down the dilapidated net that protected you from slicers. The mats are abundant, so you can generally find one in decent shape. But sometimes not. They have several bays for hitting off the grass, when the grass is in good condition. The layout of the range is interesting. There's an elevated green area at about 150 yards which is accessible from all the bays. It's a great target from wherever you are practicing. There's a long ridge right at 200 yards, so if you hit anything further than that you really have no idea how far it goes. I guess if you're on the upper level you can see. The facility is open late, which is great. Unfortunately, the lighting is not bright enough to see anything past 150 yards. I The pro shop looks well equipped, but I don't buy my clubs here, and I change my own grips now. What the club does Club does do well is have plenty of mats available at all times, and all weather. I will keep practicing here. read more

Great inexpensive driving range that's open and always has a bay available. Buy the punch card you'll burn thru it faster than you think!

Excellent staff always polite always willing to help. Always plenty of room (two levels)

I come here a lot and over the last few months, I have seen significant improvements and investments to the facility. A good driving range needs a lot of bays so you don;t have to wait for a spot and this place has plenty. You have covered bays, second level bays and grass tees. The covered bays are great if its drizzling or raining, the upper bays are great to get a tan and see more clearly where your shots end up, and the grass tees are good let you hit off real turf. The facility also has quite a few golf coaches. The best thing you can do for yourself to learn the game right, is to hire a coach. Forget the books, the videos, the expensive gear and advice from your friends. Get a coach. Ask for a 'demo' lesson, see if you like the coach and then go from there. I am a newbie golfer , I started 1.5 years ago and I have engaged a coach from the start and it has done so much for my game. I have less injuries, less frustration. Getting a coach has helped me play better, and have more fun. In fact, it has helped me learn how to hit the ball correctly and I enjoy playing golf correctly. It can be intimidating to talk to a coach, but they are just regular people and passionate about the game. Talk to one, see if you like that coach, and try a few lessons. The golf pro shop has added a lot of products. You can find brand name gear from Callaway, TaylorMade. From clubs to balls to apparel. They also have a kitchen and serves up Korean fare. Finally, they have COLD beer. oopp.. the BOGO bucket is still on. --M-F.. BOGO before 12 noon. --Weekend .. BOGO before 11AM. read more

This update is overdue. They have made many upgrades. One of which is new range balls. I know their operating costs are probably higher than other ranges OTP. Their pro shop is top shelf! They're currently in the process of adding a huge patio to be an eating area for the restaurant to open soon. Owners and employees are very friendly. And I've never felt less than safe in the parking lot. Very deserving of 4 stars. read more

Good driving range with lots of bays on two levels. Mostly fake turf but also real grass (or rough, depending on condition, which was poor the last time I hit balls). Medium bucket of balls is $12 + tax. Early morning hours, you're hitting into the sun. The chipping area is a small grassy spot - not really the best. They have equipment for sale, instruction and even a cafe somewhere. I haven't availed myself of those things, but it's nice to know they're there. Lots of parking but it's a big place. So, it may fill up. read more

I've been going to one pretty janky-looking driving range for a while; so I wanted to check out a different place. Overall, I like this place alot. The prices for buckets are fair, and even their rental clubs are well maintained. That's huge for me because I know many places where they literally have patrons toss rental clubs in a chest like toys in a toy box, and they don't bother cleaning or re-gripping them. It's an awful sight. I'm glad to know that I can rely on some good rental clubs until I finally get around to buying my own set. The driving range is a double-decker, and there's also designated areas in which you can swing on the grass for a more realistic feel. My only concern here is the lack of a safety line between the bays and walkway. I guess it's common sense to not approach someone when he/she's about to swing a golf club, but still. They have a full golf store that can address all your golf needs (goods AND services). I didn't notice any cafe as described in the past reviews, but I wasn't exactly looking for one. Overall, I may have just found my new go-to driving range. read more

Rain or shine, you can always count on this place. Located off of Spaghetti junction, it can't be anymore convenient! Sometime I just stop by here for a couple hours to avoid traffic. They change balls yearly just like most places. Recently changed Matt was awesome. I love the marks and lines on there. Its very helpful when practicing. Oh and on a sunny day, you can elect to hit balls of grass from grass area. They're not the best but it would do for the location and local small town driving range. read more

Really friendly people and willing to teach as well! I just bought a few hybrids from their shop and they gave me a great deal. They hit great too, definitely have improved my game! I highly recommend coming here when you just need to hit a few. They're pretty reasonably priced as well! read more

It is so convenient for me living next to here, as their range is high and wide and just overall beautiful for where it is located. It is right off spaghetti junction so you'd think the sound of traffic would stop you from practicing or having some fun but it doesn't at all. The local ups hub is nearby but that doesn't impede either. The prices are a little too pricey since I can get a better deal across town, but the place is solid for me since I don't have to drive more than 45 seconds. Be prepared to bring a jacket on some days, the second level gets kind of windy sometimes. read more

Located right outside the perimeter, this place is pretty awesome! Double decker, plenty of slots to choose from and there are mats and grass portions. Now don't get me wrong, I'm no pro golfer so my experience with driving range is just barely a handful. I like to kill time and have a good time with my friends. With this place being so close to the highway (it's literally just right off 85N), you would think there's more noise pollution while you're here. But I was here around 5pm on a Thursday afternoon but from the range, I didn't even notice the noise of traffic. 14 bucks for a large bucket of balls, which served my friend and I for a good hour or so. I think I can find cheaper places but I can very well find more expensive places at the same time. There is talk about BOGO buckets before noon, which I think I might try one day to see if I can get on that deal. Typical golf shop inside that does regripping, selling golf merch, and it has a mini korean resturant/bar(?) inside also. If you're looking for a nice place to relax and forget traffic or just a decent driving range that's not out in the boonies or part of some private country club, give this place a try. For some reason, I would like to be on the upper deck during later afternoon hours. Sun setting behind you is a pretty sight. read more

No nonsense golf range with polite staff and a nice shop. Upper and lower deck available.

I would not recommend this Driving Range. I just called and simply asked for the cost of the balls. The management was rude and seem to be offended because I asked about Price. He said a small bucket was nine dollars. When I asked for the price of the nexthe was offended and hung up. read more

Wonderful driving range with very reasonable rates. The staff is always very friendly and helpful.

I want to rate this range higher, but can't until the majority of the mats and balls are replaced. That said, the BOGO deal (before noon on weekdays) is awesome, and the sheer size of the place guarantees you'll have a bay pretty much any time. I just recently discovered they serve ramen (!) in their cafe', so I'm definitely planning on trying it out soon. Hopefully it's up to par. (see what I did there) read more

Our car broke down & we walked here to wait for the tow truck. They have the most amazing bull burgers & hamburgers!

Went here for a bucket of balls on a weekday afternoon. Nice range with a legitimate pro shop. Facilities were good and prices reasonable. I'll be back again soon. read more

DON'T GO! The balls are all smooth and shot (3 had DEEP cuts), the tees are bare dirt with weed chunks, the putting green is yard grass (3" at that), and all in all, looks abandoned. Not worth the 10 minute drive from my house! read more

So my big mouth got me into yet another challenge at work:-( I played golf in college some 10+ years ago. In order not embarrass myself I am currently taking lessons here at Northcrest with Keith Jarvis. He is an awesome/PATIENT coach!! The facilities are clean, SHADED and there are FANS...absolutely no reason why you can't practice until 10pm. Love it!!! read more

This business is well run and well maintained. You can hit off grass or mats, plus they have pros to help you with your swing. The place is clean, the grass is cut, there is no bug problem, and there's shade. They have yardage markers out, plus there are a couple of greens to hit to. The golf balls are clean, they sell beer, candy bars, and energy drinks. They have a tech who can change shafts and grips for you. They sell new and used golf clubs. You can buy golf balls, bags, hats, etc. Jeannie, the manager I see most often, is always friendly and helpful. You can get there without driving on a crowded highway, Just use Buford Highway and Oakcliff. read more
