Now this place has a nice driving range no frills, it's not top golf but it seems like a relaxing range to let them fly. The mini putt, i think there's only 16 courses not 18 currently. Looks like a couple were taken out maybe being redone? Or we just missed it but I'm pretty sure we didn't miss them. This isn't the obstacle style one with the dinosaurs, windmills, clown mouth. It's a simplistic, more...... clean? Style putt. Has the bumps, turns, nature in your path, but not the frills. Enjoyed our time. Quick and easy. Groups of 5 technically are allowed but we saw groups bigger. With 2 people you can rip thru the course pretty quickly.

My husband and I have been saying for some time that we wanted to have dinner at Granite Links, and…read morelast night we finally went. Unfortunately, the experience was overshadowed by a gentleman who had clearly been over‑served. He was unsteady on his feet, nearly knocked over my husband's drink, and even harassed another couple. I honestly don't know how he got home. I hope a ride share was called for him, because if he had driven and harmed someone, Granite Links could have faced serious liability. Situations like this are exactly why bartenders must be more responsible and attentive to the condition of the patrons they serve. I don't blame the man himself fully. I blame Granite Links. The waiter also bears responsibility. Servers can observe when guests are becoming unstable or intoxicated, even when drinks are being delivered to tables rather than ordered at the bar.

The drinks are amazing and the food was phenomenal. Everything was nice and fresh and came right to us while we were playing, we didn't even have to leave our bay to go grab anything. The guac and chips were so fresh and so good, and Chef Jakori came by checking up on us to make sure the service was up to par and that the food was amazing -- sliders, salad, fried pickles and more. The list was too long to remember, it was just THAT good. Definitely coming back!

High Energy, Great Tech, Over-Eager Service…read more I was really excited to check out Five Iron Golf for a private event, and overall, it was a blast. If you're looking for a spot with a modern, high-energy atmosphere, this is definitely it. The Atmosphere & Experience The space itself is fantastic--very clean, open, and has a "cool" inviting vibe the moment you walk in. As for the actual golfing, it's a total 10/10 experience. It feels like a high-tech mashup of Putt-Putt, Nintendo Wii, and Topgolf. It's incredibly fun and engaging, though the hourly rental price is definitely on the steeper side, which is the only thing that would make me hesitate to come back regularly. Food & Drinks The F&B was fine, but nothing particularly memorable. Everything was "okay"--perfectly serviceable for a group event, but the golf and the tech are definitely the main attractions here rather than the culinary side. Service The staff was very friendly and helpful throughout the night, but a bit overzealous. While I appreciate attentiveness, the team was a bit aggressive with clearing the plates and asking if we needed more drinks. They checked in every 10-15 minutes, which felt a little intrusive after a while when you were trying to play a simulation. They also cleared several plates of food that we were clearly still eating but had taken a break to take our turn in the game. The Bottom Line I'd absolutely do it again for the gaming experience and the vibes, but I'd probably keep a closer eye on my plate next time! It's a great way to wow your date or hang with some friends for a chill night out.

Knowing it was designed by Donald Ross makes the layout even more impressive, especially considering how compact and walkable it is. The course is always in pretty good shape for a city muni, and the setting around the reservoir adds a nice peaceful vibe. You can easily get in 9 holes after work or on a summer morning and feel like you got your golf fix without committing to a full day. That said--be ready for a wait if you go on the weekend. It's a popular spot, and pace of play can slow down during peak hours. Booking ahead is a must. Overall, a fun and challenging course with some real architectural pedigree. Great value and a staple for local golfers.

I tried golf as a teenager, and couldn't get the hand-eye coordination down. Don't kid yourselves, I still can't. I was designed to sit in front of an Excel spreadsheet, not stand in front of a golf tee. Stone Meadow Golf has completely turned everything on its head. Don't get me wrong, my hand eye coordination is still as real as the Loch Ness Monster, however the lack thereof is no longer as scary. Stone Meadow has a driving range and a 9-hole course. Both are priced very reasonably, and (at least for the 9-hole), equipment like a wedge, putter, and two balls. The course was very approachable and non-intimidating for a newbie like myself. The staff were also helpful and friendly. So, while I don't see myself becoming a person who holds for fun on his own, including owning one's own clubs, when my friends have an open invite for Stone Meadow, I will absolutely join them if I'm in town).

Please, don't waste your money! Golftec sells it's method…read moreby stressing analytics and claiming state of the art equipment. Simulators are everywhere these days and they all have the same information. And, if the guy running the lesson doesn't explain the target numbers, or perhaps doesn't understand the information, these numbers are irrelevant. Their video quality is so slow and poor, it more often than not missed crucial parts of my swing. My phone would've been more useful. The bottom line is, these are not coaches. They are guys that like to play golf and wanted a way to make money when not golfing. They use a couple of gimmicks, and send you off with links to online videos. You pay 1 hour prices for 30 minutes, and there is no investment in your progress. When I started my lessons, I told them I wanted two things. I wanted a practice plan, so when on the range I'd be practicing with purpose. I also wanted to build the foundation of a good swing, and I didn't mind a setback in scoring. I wasn't looking for miracles. I got neither. My first coach was COMPLETELY disinterested in our lessons. I'm not saying he was always hungover, but he acted like he was. He'd sip coffee and wander out of the room for half the time. Once, I drove all the way there, on his schedule, for a lesson. He came in the room and asked if I'd rather just practice on my own. I asked for a different teacher. The next guy wasn't any better. It was summed up when, after working together for a couple months, he asked "is that your normal ball flight?". Shouldn't you know that after "coaching" me for 2 months? It's like these guys have never even been coached, never mind have the credentials to do the coaching. Biggest regret of my golf career.

This past fall I had been looking for an indoor golf facility to work on my game. (a lot of work…read moreneeds to be done) I visited a few of the local places without much success. Some the coaches and I didn't click or the lessons were too generic. I decided to check out golftec since I drove by it every day. I'm glad I did. After the eval I purchased a teaching plan. It isn't the cheapest around but I have seen definite results. The facility has approximately 4 days which have a combination of video recording equipment and golf simulators. It also has an indoor putting green and equipment to hit off uneven lies. The only downside is that currently only one bay has the golf simulation equipment. I think there's talk about expanding with more simulators. I tend to practice here a lot after work which is great. I work on my game and wait for traffic to settle down. I have recommended this place to a bunch of friends and they all enjoyed it. The coaches are all pretty nice and easy to work with. I personally work with Alex who is great. He's a very nice guy who quickly identified my swing faults and set up a plan to get me where I wanted to be. This place is worth a "drop by".

We came here on a Sunday for a staff outing and chose the unlimited mini golf…read more The bartender recommended their house Old Fashioned when I ordered a standard; decent, but extremely overpriced. There wasn't much direction, and no one to guide us where to go. We figured out the kiosk ourselves and eventually made it to golfing. The courses are fun, but every shelf and table was littered with empty drink glasses and beer bottles from previous groups (anyone here ever heard of a ROUND?). My biggest gripe was the bar closing early, and staff already preparing and cleaning the course while we were still playing. They seemed noticeably frustrated that we were there, even though this was about half an hour before their posted closing time. Being in hospitality, that behavior gave off serious "please leave so we can call it a night" energy from basically everyone working. To the managers/owners: if you don't want people there until 10, close at 9. We paid a lot of money for this experience, and thank you for showing our team what not to do. 2 stars for the game and the concept, zero for hospitality and execution. GET IT TOGETHER.

This review is only for the mini golf and no food or drinks…read more Came here for a family outing and it was super fun! It's cool how modern and interesting the course is. Also super cool how tech savvy it all is as the sensors remember who is playing and how many moves you've made. There were three 9 hole courses. Each one was unique. We came in the middle of the day on a Saturday and the waits weren't too bad but I can foresee this getting a bit busy as the night wears on. Some people complain about the wait time but that comes with putt putt territory. Sometimes you get lucky and you're surrounded by small groups. Sometimes a big crowd of kids are in front of you so you wait a lot. To me that is just putt putt. There were lots of TVs so I can see this being a great place to watch a game and have a drink! Or maybe even date night. Fun for all ages. Can't comment on parking as we walked here.
