| - I recently had my first experience at the Valley Golf Center and was quite pleased.
Although the double-decker range is fantastic, I believe that the VGC's true gem is their pro shop. In the pro shop there must be well over 1000 clubs, all shorts of accessories, grips, repair shop, and shoes etc.. The pro shop at VGC has everything related to golf and has a lot of it.
Nonetheless, the range is great. There most be twenty different greens to aim at with artificial bunkers. The mats are in good shape, and the ball dispenser that automatically places the ball on a tee of your desired height is the highlight. The lighting is also "spot on" (pun intended). Even when it is nighttime, the lighting makes the range appear as if it was high noon. The costs of balls for the range is average. I believe that 75 balls is somewhere in the ballpark of $8-$9.
The reasons this is a 4-star review and not 5-star is because the mats could use replacing and the ball dispenser system call malfunction at times. While the mats are definitely playable and won't mess up your clubs, they are well worn through and could use a replacement cycle. Moreover, when I first arrived at my hitting bay, an employee had to spend ten minutes fixing my bay so that the balls would dispense. I had already entered by coupon code on the range before he attempted to fix it, and the employee must have tossed 10 of the balls I paid onto the range while fixing the dispenser. Even though it was merely a ten minute delay, it was nonetheless a disfunction and not professional.
Through and through, this place is great. It is average priced, has an excellent lighting and is accompanied with a short-game bunker practice area. I will definitely be coming back to the Valley Golf Center.
