So I opted to take him to Scandia, as I remembered the fun I'd had here between the Go Karts, Mini Putt Golf, Bumper Boats, and Arcade games. All things I knew my son would be interested in and enjoy. After arriving, we went to the food area for assistance since there wasn't anyone in the booth area near the front door. Because I wanted to ensure we could to a number of various rides and games. I got two gold package Scandia cards, which allowed us to ride the Go Karts 3x, get in 1 round of 18 hole mini put, and play over a dozen games each. Which we did in both before and after the Go Karts and Mini Putt Golf. In all, we enjoyed several hours at Scandia, and my son really enjoyed the time spent here for part of his birthday.

There are many arcade games there that I have not ever seen before, that was very cool and very fun. The mini golf course was beyond awesome. I did not expect what I saw at all. Our next trip there we are going to try the virtual reality and we cannot wait!

The courses were challenging, but not too hard, and not too easy. Everything was kept up and clean. Looking around the course while we were playing I didn't notice any thing dilapidated or broken. It took us a little while to get through the course because of the kids, but it was very enjoyable amd we all had a great time. With it being early February and pretty cold out, alot of the outside attractions were closed. We came right after breakfast on a Sunday, so those could have been factors also. We decided to go inside and play in the arcade. Unfortunately alot of the games were out of order. There were some that we scanned our playcard and took the funds, but didn't start the game. We went to the counter and let them know and they kindly reloaded our cards. It happened a few times and honestly I think they were starting to think we were trying to scam them into recharging our cards. Either that, or we weren't swiping the card correctly. Neither of those were the case and we offered to show them which game it was each time, and offered to demonstrate with our card how it took the money and didn't start. They said that wasn't necessary, and a staff member would walk over with us so they could figure out what was going on and put a sign if necessary. The little photo booths are fun, but again, there are two and only one was working. All in all the facility was very clean and kept up. I noticed there were staff members constantly walking around picking up trash, and forgotten items from other guests. There were even a couple wiping down games and sanitizing them. I appreciate that cause well, you know...kids are gross including my own sometimes lol! Since we had just come from breakfast we didn't eat here, but the snack bar looked decent, expensive, but in a place like this that is to be expected. There were plenty of tables to sit and enjoy your snacks/food and if not being used they were clean. The restrooms were clean, there was a sewage like smell in the women's room, but it wasn't too overpowering. Not worth complaining about. All in all we had a good time here, spent quite a bit of money between the arcade and the mini golf, but the kids had fun so thats what matters most right?

The waitress apologized and said the kitchen was closed as they were having a huge party at 5 who would be occupying the restaurant but she could offer me a drink. As I had attended the "NO KINGS" protest downtown, I was disappointed because I was hungry and now I would have to take my business elsewhere. She brought my drink and said, "Maam, we will not leave you go hungry." The kitchen is more than willing to make a few things up for you if you like and she read off the menu. I ordered the pork belly tacos and the huge chicken wings all that were drop dead delicious! Estefania went that extra mile to make sure I was happy. She knew exactly how to save our relationship which I found so refreshing! Customer service is a lost art today unless you are raised with maturity and manners. Then to take my experience to 5 star, Loren, followed up and checked on me with a level of class and professionalism that is very rare today. I felt special, as though I was the only customer there. I was also given a tour of the facility and the beautiful golf/party lounges that are available. I can't wait to tell the hundreds of members I speak with at Costco (I am a food demonstrator) as I refer Birdies excellence while I chat with them. We marched today to fight for the survival of small business' nationwide amongst many other things. We must support them, their investments in our community and their dreams. Kudos to Estefania & Loren for jobs well done. I cannot wait for my return visit! Veronica

They were already on the patio with Tyler (The Server), who turned out to be the MVP of the day. We asked about the Pork Belly Tacos we saw on the game‑day menu... only to learn they were theoretical tacos. Imaginary tacos. Tacos that exist spiritually but not physically on game day. Tyler went full hero mode trying to make it happen anyway. Didn't pan out, but he gave it a valiant effort. To ease our grief, he brought shots on the house--because nothing heals disappointment like tequila. He made the whole visit a good time, so here's a big thank‑you to Tyler. See you after the next A's game--cheers!

It tasted like an old lime, which it did have an old lime on the rim... I couldn't find our server to see if I can change it so it just sat there. I feel like they need to have more staff to check on tables. We had a wave a server a couple times to place another order. There was a time where our time was ending and the food hadn't came out yet.

One of my lifelong passions is golf-from the moment I picked up a club when I was 17 years old,I…read moreknew an obsession was being born.Along the way,I've had good highs and good lows,like the time I quit the sport for 10 years because I played a round so terrible at the Ridge in Auburn,I lost 18 balls in one round,but that being said I always come back.Im the kind of guy who will go to the driving range 10 times between actually playing a round,practice makes perfect or whatever they say,so I decided I would write a few reviews of some of my favorite driving ranges-I'm starting my series with one driving range that I probably frequent the most or 2nd most,it's one convenient to my home-I'm talking about Leader Golf on El Centro Road in Natomas. Right off the bat-you got to know this place is not fancy-this is the kind of place the serves that golfer who is just beginning-the kind of person who maybe has thought about golf and wants to give it a shot-this is where they head.This driving range is truly a no judgement zone,so many beginners,so many people there who this may be the 1st time they ever held a golf club-I love that about this place,you never know who your going to see here,it can be someone like me who has been playing golf for over 30 years or literally a kid or teenager or woman's group or older person who has never touched a club before-your going to see all types of people,every age,every skill level and it's great. This place has zero dress code-not that all golf course do but some places you can really standout if u show up in gym shorts and a tank top-but not here-anything goes and nobody will give u a 2nd look if u have no clue what your doing. The place has a few cool features that I enjoy-it has a putting area so you can go out there and work on your putting at zero cost.It has a very good short game area where one can work on their short game but it does cost $7 an hour to get access to that area. This place does have ample parking so that should never be a problem,there is a pro shop on premises as well-Inside your able to buy range tokens which you use to get range balls to use on the range.Prices range from $7 for a small bucket(40 balls) to $24 for a "Leader" bucket which is 200 balls.What I do is buy the Leader bucket for $24 and they give you 5 tokens for 40 balls each and then I spread out their usage over multiple visits since 40 balls is more than enough for a driving range session,which brings the cost down to under $5 a bucket-a very very good price for a small bucket. The pro shop also sells beers and sodas and snacks along with just about any other golf accessory you could possibly need from driving range tees to full on brand new golf sets-it's a decent shop-gets the job done. The gentleman who owns the range also works the shop-he is an amazingly kind man,he is a little rough around the edges when you first meet him but once you get to know him,he is the best-super helpful and chatty-he is truly an asset to this location. Overall what I will say about this place is this-if you have ever had the idea that maybe you have an interest in golf and want to go to a judgement free spot where you can try it out-this is your place.If you want a no frills spot to go and work on your game-this is your place.If you want a spot you and your friends can meet and chill and maybe throw back a beer or two while doing something somewhat active-this is your place.So do yourself a favor and head on out to Leader Golf and give this amazing game a chance-it just might start a lifelong obsession-see ya out there.

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.

She also communicated that the computer only allows 3 lanes during reservations. And then we called to follow up with the manager. We Got 3 pizzas (2 cheese, 1 pepperoni). The pizza took a little while to come out. Reserved time for pizza at 2pm. So the kids have something to eat during bowling. And didn't come out until 2:30. But it was fine. We did see them bring food to playground area. So I know you can order & they bring it to you. Communication was through email. And it was easy, and they got back to us quickly. * Common sense-The $25 per hour is perfect timing. It all depends on how many people you have in your lanes. We had 6 people per 4 lanes. And we only got half way through the game too!!! But it's because the amount of people who are playing, we actually had a great time. The maintenance guy was there quick when you needed help with the balls getting stuck. And Damian attending the playground was super nice. The girl at the front desk was attentive & quick getting shoes for everyone. And super calm. :) Especially with the big groups of people. *The arcade games seem to work for our party kids. We got a lot of fun stuffies from the claw machines. I guess You just gotta know how to play them. Because It's a GAMBLE!! Hahaha And we saw some boys that won like a thousand tickets. So we had fun in the arcade. Not bad for an easy unplanned party. And shout out to the kids that work there!!! It's not easy dealing with grouchy people.

There was quite the array of fried foods but all were very good and crispy. The salad was also decent. The interior is a bit far and moody, but I think that sets the vibe.
