Love this place. simple and effective. the staff is always friendly and it's never packed so there's always room. my only wish is that they had some areas without mats where you could hit your irons/wedges in the grass. Also, the prices for buckets of balls is unbeatable, especially they have the monopoly on driving ranges here in the city. Edit: had to update my review, Howard the owner was nice enough to inform me of the grass for hitting irons/wedges! No more complaints from me! read more

An ok driving range, really your only choice for a driving range in Philadelphia (5 iron golf excluded unless money is no object). There's always enough Tee boxes to spread out, I wish there was some sun cover, they're all just very open. $15 for 90 balls, $20 for 125 balls, perhaps a touch expensive for the quality. read more

Solo date, action Jackson, and got a complementary golf lesson. Can't wait to step up my game and the snow is gone so I can hit a bucket.

Great hidden gem in Philly that has recently reopened. Location is great from Ucity being a 15min commute rather than making it all the way out to Tees or Camden. The price for a large bucket (~90 balls) was $15 cash or cash app only. Not that many targets to hit at yet but just a great, convinient location to get some hitting in. The mats are in beautiful condition with rental clubs available as well. The hours I was told was 7 Days a Week (10am-8pm). Thursdays close at 5:30pm to cut the grass! read more

Strawberry Green Driving Range - Strawberry Green Driving Range - Golf Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

New management is making improvements. It's a humble place. People who work there are kind and helpful. It's a little expensive for me, but not so much that I don't keep coming back. read more

Solid range within the city- cash only. Customer service is top notch. You get what you get end of the day. read more

Drove by the range yesterday and so happened to see the new owner outside the entrance. He mentioned the range is now opened for the season. He seems like a really nice guy and I'm def. glad I got to hit the range at a good price. Told him the place is hit or miss as far as availability and he mentioned he's working through logistics and they just got the go ahead to operate not too long ago. Looks open for business at the posted hours!! read more

This is the only range in the city. Great old timers giving help and telling old stories. Definitely a fixture in Philadelphia's golf community. read more

Sadly the range seems to be closed. Unsure if it'll open back up for business. Not many other options in the city to choose from

Although they are now "reopened", the new ownership is still trash, and has done nothing to ensure that this driving range is being operated with any sort of common sense or care at all for the customer. Still no website, no phone number, no set hours of operation, etc. There is no way to tell if they are open other than getting in your car to drive over. Since they have been "reopened", I have gotten burned a handful of times by driving over there to find that they are inexplicably closed. What a wasted opportunity by inept humans. If you are looking to waste time and gas, this is your driving range. read more

Rudest guy working the register. I brought $10 and didn't realize the normal size bucket is $12. So I asked for 2 of the small chipping size buckets which were $4. I asked nicely if he could just dump them into a medium size bucket bc I only had one hand....easy enough? No, he told me that would be $12. Last time I checked 2 buckets of 25 balls equals 50 balls. And 2 buckets of 25 balls dumped into a larger bucket for convenience, is still 50 balls? No, the guy told me I was pulling a slick one and gave me a ton of attitude. I got my money back and left. Can't fix stupid. read more

The place is clean and the service is excellent. The cost is competitive and the workers are friendly and accommodating!

I'm just learning golf but this is a great resource for Philadelphia Center City. I've driven past this place for years and never gave it a second look. It has a great location, 10 minutes from the city with great views of the Philadelphia skyline. It's right In Fairmount park with easy access by bus, bike or car This is a jewel in the city. The staff that work there are friendly, supportive and informative. Stormy is extremely helpful and offered great advice to improve my game Love this place and great prices for buckets. read more

Strawberry Green Driving Range - Mats - Golf Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Stoney's Driving Range in Fairmount is my go to spot when I'm looking to get out and swing the clubs. I live in Chinatown and love the close proximity of the range to Center City. Quick drive to Strawberry Mansion above the Art Museum and I'm swinging clubs. It's never packed where I have to wait to jump into a tee box. No frills, nicely maintained, and beautiful views of Center City from any tee box. Stoney is a super nice guy and besides his comedic banter and excellent hospitality, even provides a few tips to improve your swing. They also have batting cages there, but I have never taken advantage of them. Top notch operation for someone looking for a nice friendly place to get out and swing the clubs. read more

Yes Strawberry green driving range is open, despite the inconvenience on Google saying we are temporary closed , yes we are open , you can follow up on INSTAGRAM and TWITTER for daily updates. @SG_DRIVINGRANGE. read more

Theyre closed until 4/2021. Wish they wouldve updated their yelp to say this before i wasted $20 in uber to get there

Nice overall range. Show up, hit balls, leave. Pretty straight forward. Guy behind the counter was funny, workers were nice as well. $22 for ~200 balls is the best deal, $17 for 90-100 is also pretty good but why not get the extra 100 for $5? Turf mats were good quality and the tees worked. Not much more you can ask for in a driving range. Can't go wrong here. read more

For what it's worth, this is a hidden gem in the city! City skyline in the background, plenty of parking and slow priced! read more

Strawberry Green Driving Range - Golf Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Insanely overpriced, they charge $15 for 75 balls. Tee's Golf Center, Camden County Driving Range, and Burholme Golf and Family Entertainment Center are nearby and all much cheaper. Staff can be very rude. read more

At 33rd and Oxford Streets at the edge of Strawberry Mansion. $7 for a small bucket, $12 for a large bucket. No pro-shop, no amenities, just balls, and tees from which to hit said balls. That said, you hit into grass (versus a field of dirt or turf) with markers at 100, 150, 200, 250, and 300 yard (just in case?). There are approximately 15 tees, all at ground level, about 5 of which are covered. Easy-to-get to location with plenty of parking. Hours in the summer: 9a-9p. Closed Mondays. Only services/food to speak of are at the water-ice place a block away on Cecil B. Moore. read more

Cash only! Basic driving range, plenty of room. Gets the job done and is easy to drive there and park on the street.

I visited the Strawberry Green Driving Range the morning of August 10th for about an hour and soon came to learn the man running the place at the time is easily the most offensive and rude person in the city of Philadelphia. I was having a perfectly fine time hitting balls for about an hour, down in the grass area past the mats. When I initially checked in, I asked him if this was ok as I saw people hitting from there on other days, and he said yes but to stay behind the cone because he "doesn't want to be responsible if I get hit by someone else's sliced ball." Weird and kind of patronizing interaction, but I understood what he meant, and went about my business. Truly no problem. After I finished and walked back to the shack to hand the bucket in, he asked me, word for word, "would you have hit balls like that if this place was owned by whites?" I was shocked initially, and after some quick prodding he apparently took issue that I was taking some divots on my iron strikes. Because when you hit a golf ball, dirt also comes up. It's literally unavoidable. He also made no effort in the hour-plus I was there hitting to talk to me. He kept going back to the "owned by whites" question, to which I did not dignify with a response. I just picked up my bag and walked out, during which he yelled, multiple times, "go walk back to your white country club." I'm truly sympathetic to whatever this guy has dealt with in his life that causes him to go looking for such a fight, but it's also so sad that he's going to run otherwise good people and good customers away from what I fully expected to be an awesome driving range in the city. Other online reviews indicate many others have had run ins with this man's rudeness, to put it lightly. I moved right around the corner and planned to come here many times each week, but I'll never be back as long as he's involved with this business. read more

I love the range....when it's open. This is a 2 1/2 star review because you can never tell when it's open. No hours on their FB site or phone voicemail message. Seems so simple. But when it's summer it's a really nice place to hit balls. I'm in the museum district....7 minute drive. read more

So you live or work in or around Center city, maybe somewhere in Strawberry Mansion, North Philly, or even East Falls and Roxborough, and you want a cheap, uncrowded place to go drive some balls, with some trees and grass and not just green fence-liners... Where do you go? Why, to the Strawberry Green Driving Range, of course! Note for locals: It was called Longknockers forever (and I must confess that in my heart it always will be). Set up right on the eastern edge of Fairmount Park, now that spring is here the range is a verdant oasis in the middle of much blight. And only 10-15 minutes away, tops, from most of the more western sections of Center, North and Northwest Philly! I've read the other reviews. It's not a dump. I don't know what some of them were expecting, but It's a driving range. A place to rent and hit balls. What more do you need at a range than grass for everything other than drives, turf tee stalls for the babies, yard markers, and a building that rents balls, sells tees, and even has Gatorade and Water for sale on hot days? Strawberry Green has all that, not to mention that they offer lessons upon request and absolutely have established business hours (Mon-Sun 10:30 am - 9 pm). It's a local, informal business, however, with a lot of dead time-- do yourself a favor and don't show up at 10:30 am on the dot and be pissed if the guy doesn't open til 10:45 or 11:00. And don't show up at 8:30 pm and be pissed that he shut down early for the night. It's just a seasonal driving range in the middle of Strawberry Mansion. Also, there are no overheads (no pavilions, no stalls with roofs, whatever you want to call them), so when it's a rainy day they are most likely closed. The two reasons I've been futiley but fun-ly working on my game here since my parents forced me to go to the City's Golf Camp when I was 10: - Double Bubble Plaster Bucket of Balls! When I started it was like $3. It's only $12 now. Sweet, I tell you... - You can bring a six-pack and hit balls all night no problem (as long as you don't act the fool), and most times you've got the place to yourself... *****special note 4/23: perhaps because it's the beginning of the season or perhaps because the weather was so nice, but regardless, the last week and half or so (before the rain), the range was very crowded after 5. ***** Prices: Chip Shot $3 Regular Bucket $7 Big Driver $10 Double Bubble $12 2 pack of tees $1 Water $1 Gatorade $2 read more

Is this the Stadium Golf Center in San Diego??? No. Is this the best place to hit balls in Center City, Philadelphia??? Yes. Nice mats and yardage markers. Plus, a majority of the balls are found ProVs and other balls from other courses. Can't beat that. read more

Just moved to the Fairmount area and my fiancé and I were excited to find a driving range so close to home. When we showed up the range said closed but a few people were still finishing up. My fiancé went in to find out the business hours for future reference. He said to the worker "excuse me just wondering what your hours are?" And the reply from the worker was "what is it with you people? Don't you see the sign that says we are closed?" And proceeded to yell and follow my fiancé out the gate. I'll drive extra time and will be sure to post this review on every site I can. By the way, Yelp says the place closes at 9:00 and I'm posting at 8:15 read more

Legit. This driving range run out of a double wide trailer is inexpensive, casual, and exactly appropriate for those who share my unskilled-but-eager attitude about golf. I am a horrible golfer, am way too impatient to properly hit balls at the range, but my parents are so obsessed with golf that I took lessons as a 12 year old. Yeah. So my golfing legacy has brought me to this moderately sketchy driving range on the edge of Fairmount Park and I wouldn't have it any other way. There do seem to be a lot of folks who know how to golf and are working on their game, and I am glad there is a driving range where we can all coexist. read more

Love this place. Nice gentleman who runs it, nice skyline view, well maintained, BYOB friendly. Can hit on grass and it looks like there are some new mats, always plenty of adirondack chairs and they've had a couple canopies out recently too which is nice to have a bit of shade on a hot day. I usually get the 'Big Bucket' which is $11 for like 100ish balls.. and inevitably when I finally find my groove around ball 80 I'm all like "why couldn't I do that the whole time?!" and end up needing to get the $4 'Chip Shot' small bucket (and a $2 gatorade) After living in Fairmount for 5 years I recently moved to South Philly/East Passyunk and, save for one regrettable trip to FDR's range, I still gladly make the trip up to Strawberry Green regularly read more

Not a nice range, but close to the city and gets the job done. The owner is an asshole but unfortunately the convenience wins so I come back. read more

Located just outside of center city in the Strawberry Mansion area, Strawberry Green has everything you need for a good driving range: 1) Cheap rates, 2) Plenty of level mats, 3) Grass space for irons/tee work, and 4) A great atmosphere. I highly recommend Strawberry Green to both the beginner, and those more experienced. read more

This may not be the prettiest girl at the driving range dance, but she looks good, and you don't have to worry about her not putting out. Unless it's raining. It's just north of Girard on 33rd, and has a pretty great view of the Philly skyline. The guys who run it are awesome. And you can hit off of grass or turf. Not much to complain about. The ground may be a bit rough, but it's literally in the city. Big fan. Call ahead if the weather is iffy. read more

Strawberry Green Driving Range - Skyline with a double bubble. - Golf Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Range gets the job done. Nice chipping areas off real grass on both ends. The owner can have attitude at times but it's not terrible, Bring a chair and a cooler he lets you hangout. I don't know another range that lets you do that. In the city you really can't find better. read more

Works perfectly for what it is. Reasonable prices and lots of hitting mats. Accessible by bike from the Schuylkill River bike path. Some parts of the facility (the roof of the pro shop is falling apart) are not in great condition, but that is completely irrelevant for what you are there to do: hit golf balls. read more

Closest range to the city so buckets are expensive but if you get the largest bucket it is somewhat comparable in price as other ranges. A lot of space and well marked distances. You won't get great customer service but they let you bring drinks and hangout so it balances out. No putting or chipping green, but fine for everything else. The range in Camden is nicer and cheaper but they use floater balls so pick the lesser of 2 evils. read more

This is my regular routine driving range now. It's Ok if you only want to practice on mat. Grass area dirt is really hard. I won't practice with my own clubs. No green. No bunker. Interestingly, some of the balls are partially painted with red color and will leave a light pink mark on your clubs. Not sure it is on purpose. It actually helps me know where I hit the ball. The mark is removable. read more

Why are patrons upset with the customer service? You hand the guy cash and he hands you balls to hit. End of story. Things the range has: Mats Golf balls Area to hit said golf balls Distance markers to measure golf ball distances Grass read more

No major problems with the range itself. Leon the cashier/manager, on the other hand, is a joke. I'm going to start out by saying I'm an average player. Shoot high eighties, play golf for fun every few weeks. Most shots are straight with the occasional shank left or right. I'm not an idiot who fools around on the range or the course. Never had a problem at a driving range in twenty years. Until now. Place is cash only, which isn't a problem. The range is fine, although on the left hand side, the range tapers towards the center of the range, which isn't a problem unless you have to hit on the mats on the left side of the range. Got the bucket of balls. Plopped my clubs down and started hitting. Nothing abnormal. Three or four balls of my first forty shots went slight left and into the woods. Manager had apparently been watching me from the trailer comes up to me and said, 'Try to aim more for for the middle.' I replied, 'No problem.' Adjusted my positioning a bit and continued. Finished up hitting without any problems. Three or four of my drives hit the fence or bounced into it at dead center of the range. One might have went in the woods. As I walk up to return my basket, Leon says, 'I don't want you to come back here anymore.' I replied, 'Was there a problem with something I did?' He stated, 'You were intentionally hitting balls into the woods. I've told you repeatedly when you've been here before to not do that. I want you to go elsewhere.' I said, 'You must be mistaken because this is my first time here. Also, I wasn't trying to hit balls into the woods. I had a couple of mishits that went that way, but I wasn't trying to do that. I'll move to the center of the range next time.' He said, 'No, I don't want you back here. You were doing it intentionally and you have been here before. You can hit the ball straight and you didn't. I've been doing this forty years. You can hit the ball where you want it.' I finished by saying, 'This is my first time here and you are telling me I intentionally hit your range balls into the woods in my many visits to your range. Since you've been doing this forty years, you should know that if I could hit the ball straight every single shot, I wouldn't have to be out here practicing. The entire point of golf is to hit the ball straight.' I left it at that and walked away. Maybe it was senility, but for a manager of a PRACTICE range to accuse someone of intentionally doing something that was not intentional and accusing me of doing this multiple times when this was my first visit was a stupid move. Don't give them business if they're going to be weenies. read more
