Such a great place for kids of all ages starting at 5 years old to learn the basics of golf!! Also another way to just get some fresh air and make some friends as well!! The instructors are knowledgeable and very patient with these kids which is an added plus. We signed our son for their 6 week course and I feel like it's the perfect amount for kids to keep them interested and not "over it" vibes. Parking: can be easy and a little hard depending on timing, the whole area is near downtown/zoo/Park area! read more

Hear ye golfers! Looking for a favorable place to practice your skills? Then pack your sticks and head for the First Tee golfing facility on Mulberry, found on the edge of Brackenridge Park. First Tee is a non profit, committed to the development of golfing skills for youth, with the intention of fostering sportsmanship and integrity through its programs. Necessarily, the non profit owns and maintains driving ranges across the country, these facilities also available for the use of the golfing public. This facility boasts a contemporary design pro shop, fronting a driving range that accommodates some 30 golfers, hitting on mats, rotating on grass depending on the condition of the turf. Right of the pro ship is a separate area always open to golfers that choose to practice on natural turf; the day of my visit the turf in this area was quite thin, some areas of hard pan. The target area fronting the pro shop is wide open and spacious. Striped, colored poles mark yardage, however the perennial grass area right of the pro shop does NOT have yardage markers, so if distance practice is the desire, an optical range finder may be helpful in this regard. Of interest is that the range balls are not practice balls usually found on most ranges, but rather name brand balls that one might golf with...some are rather quality balls...Pro V, Callaway, Bridgestone, Slazenger etc. I am unsure how the range came to provide these balls, though I surmise they may have been donated to the non profit. I find this a definite positive, as my experience is that "practice" balls just don't react like balls that I use on the course...just my humble opinion. One feature that I found very desirable is the short game practice area. The putting area is expansive, with multiple holes, undulations throughout, and of moderate speed. There is a separate chipping area, again generous in size, allowing facile chipping to near and farther flags. Fronting the chipping area is found a sand trap, but one issue I found is that the sand was somewhat packed, not deep sand, definitely not "sugary" as is found on some courses. The pro shop proper is smallish in size, offering beverages in a single cooler. There is no grill/sandwich area, no indoor seating. One does find tables facing the driving range, canopied with patio umbrellas. The location of the facility may be a bit distant for the golfer living on the fringes of our city, but if golfing at Brackenridge, the range is a very convenient drive away. In truth, I am fond of the facility, given the excellent putting and chipping areas. So, for me, the drive is about 20 minutes from my home, and well worth the drive. I now plan to visit at least once a week. So would I recommend the range to the golfing Yelpers? Definitely. So give the range a visit. Your golfing skills will benefit, and our golfing youth will definitely benefit from the efforts of the First Tee Non Profit! Hit 'em straight!! read more

I never actually participated in activities here but I did have a car accident in the front of the facility and staff was very kind to bring waters to my children while the police assisted us. We very grateful for the act of kindness the company presented to us. read more

I'm a beginner in the World of Golf and have not yet cut my teeth on the sport but of my experiences at a few different places for putting and driving I found this location to have a sense of openness and welcoming to it that other areas just don't seem to replicate as well. Well they're putting green area isn't the best I find the location of it tucked into that nice corner to make you feel like you have a quiet practice area away from the bigger draw of the driving range. Additionally the store while small is adequately supplied with gloves balls and other small items you can think of that you might desire to buy for your game. More impressive was the level of customer service and feeling of caring from the gentleman who assisted me on my 20 minute browsing through their ladies gloves to find what I desired. To date their my favorite spot to pick and not just for the convenience of being near my area although the unfortunate downside of pugels closing does mean that after a long day and an empty stomach I have to go somewhere further than walking distance to eat. This is about the only downside that I found to date but rest assured if any become a parent I will update the masses who bothered to read my highly opinionated though might I say eloquent reviews. read more

Best golf practice facility in town, hands down! Surprised to be the first to review. Ample driving range, large putting green to practice from all different areas and a challenging chipping green for all sorts of shots. Staff is friendly and always willing to help.
