I'd like to give this place 4 stars, but i just can't...I've been going to the Taylor Made/Callaway Golf Center for years. Long ago this place was great, but the years have taken a toll on this place and I'm not seeing the improvements I thought I'd see when it transitioned to Taylor Made.
The course itself is fine. It's a 9 hole par 3 course. A good place for tourists to come and get a quick 9 in.
The golf shop and restaurant are okay... Both are a little pricey, but what do you expect for something so close to the resort corridor?
The driving range on the other hand is deplorable. It's 90% mats (hitting off turf is an extra $3 per bucket), which is fine. Unfortunately the new management has yet to upgrade them since taking over. The mats are really old and sun-worn. What makes it worse is the fact that the mats are simply laid down on concrete. There is nothing to anchor them down. Consequently, if you swing with any type of power and/or torque, the mat will slide. This is more pronounced when taking a full swing with longer irons, woods, and your driver. As someone who's big and strong (6'4" 240#), the movement and instability of the mat is awful. You start to lose all confidence because of the instability and loss of connection with the ground.
The Taylor Made Golf Center needs to look at other driving ranges that have a better setup with their mats: e.g. Dessert Pines has their mats framed in so they don't move at all.
This place was once a really nice place to come. No longer... I hope they figure it out soon. Taylor Made is more convenient than other courses with driving ranges, but without major improvements, future visits will be few and far between.
