Beautiful driving range in a few miles away from all the crowded places. Friendly staff, great condition range balls. Range is abput 350 yards so can hit every club. read more

This facility provides a high-quality range ball with mats that are in very good condition. They have 2 sizes of buckets. The smaller bucket has approximately 50-60 balls, which costs $15. I did not inquire about the larger bucket. The hitting area is spacious and well-maintained. One area of note is a nice putting green. It is rarely crowded! If you wish to work on your putting stroke, this is the place to go. You have space with little to no foot traffic from other players. read more

What a nice driving range and practice facility. The large bucket was $18. The weather was beautiful and the winds were light. I was trying my new set of clubs for the first time. I was hitting the snot out of the ball. The driving rang was not crowded at noon, plenty of elbow room to josh with my buddy and have a good time. The place appeared to be clean and efficiently run. There were some ugly bare spots on the range, but I am not going out there anyway only the ball is, and I could see my ball very well out to 250 yards. My buddy and I will be going again soon. I think you should too! read more

Very clean and well kept driving range! Came here on a Sunday morning at around 10am with my family to hit some golf balls as something safe to do during the pandemic. There were 4 of us and it was easy to find stalls as the crowd was not huge. The range was very well cleaned and groomed. A large bucket of golf balls only cost $12 which is relatively cheap for this area. Parking was very easy to find and it's right next to the 405 freeway for easy access! Attendants were very friendly and collected buckets so they didn't take up too much space. Bathroom and pro shop were both very organized and Cleary. Only thing is I wish they had seats to sit and take a break between swings. Other than that I would definitely come back here to get some swings in! read more

Old Ranch Golf Practice Center - Golf Near Me - Seal Beach, California

They got new mats which are nice. But now they are charging just about double for a bucket of balls $14.00 for medium bucket and $18.00 for large bucket. It's disheartening. read more

Unreal that the range ball prices have been raised so much and the place still closes at 4pm. Go to any range in the area and it's packed until dark. The balls have deteriorated so much that a good percentage are not worth hitting, that's if they even have balls to hit. It's obvious management couldn't care less about the place. read more

Old Ranch Golf Practice Center is the open to the public aka commoners who can't afford a country club membership. I come here all the time to practice, but today I really noticed things have really declined for a while. The golf mats are beaten down to the rubber. Not just one, but a majority of them. It wasn't crowded, so you could see down the row of discolored and beaten up mats. The range balls are cut up and badly scuffed. The last time I went to the chipping green, it had been closed for repairs. They used to have days where you could hit from the grass, but I guess those days are over. When this place is well taken care of, it's a nice facility to work on your game. Just not right now. read more

I've been using this facility for over 7 years now. The recent reviews I don't think are accurate, so here goes mine from last Saturday 8/26. Hours are not the most user friendly currently, and weekend 8am opening can sometimes be later than that. My most recent visit was typical of this establishment. Clean operations, very good range balls and mats in very good condition. They are also pricey on the buckets of balls, $15 and $18, in 2023, what isn't pricey, eh? Remember that morning practice will be facing the sun. Can make it tuff to track your ball with the naked eye. read more

The server was working by himself, yet very pleasant . I only ordered six chicken wings, no drink or anything else, he did not show impatience because the order was small. read more

This practice center used to be special. They used to have chairs, tables, a little patio area. They bought new practice mats and took everything else away. They have slowly and consistently been changing this practice area from special to ordinary. A few years ago they used to have each practice mat separated by a railing, which added to the sense of privacy. They took that out. Every upgrade has done nothing but make it more ordinary all the while raising the prices. After using this as my only practice area for years I will now be looking around for a less expensive place. There is no longer an advantage in going to this one. The current price is $14 for a medium bucket and $18 for a large. read more

Worst driving range ever. Their hours are never right. You can go there on a Saturday at 8 or Sunday at 8 when they're supposed to be open and no one is there until like 9am. If someone calls out sick they simply just don't open for the public side. Of course the private side is completely different of course. Memberships and monthly dues vastly improve the consumer experience. I am done giving this business the benefit of the doubt and my business. Hours of operation 8-4 everyday but Sundays. Today is Friday feb 23rd, guess what???? Not open. read more

These guys raised the driving range prices 80%.

I'm updating my original review to a 5. My initial rating had this range at a 4 (only because the teeing area isn't grass). However, there are so few public ranges with grass - I decided to not hold that against them. Recently they've added new mats! The balls are usually better than other ranges. More than half of them will fly correctly. They don't keep the lights on for night practice anymore. Maybe that will return in the future. The putting green is the best public surface around. Also, the wind direction (for right-handed players) is the preferred right to left direction. read more

This provided a good excuse to go outdoors. Environment felt safe: staff was properly masked and the hitting mat stations were adequately distant from each other (Alternate mats only in the teaching area). Some changes after COVID: they open at 10 am now. For ball purchase, they go by your identification in their records; not accepting cards with embedded payment value anymore. Prices of buckets are $8 and $12, no more early bird specials. No putting. No chipping as far as I could tell. Saw someone practicing in the bunker. Too bad air quality wasn't good because of fire. read more

Great place to practice. There are 30 mats to hit from, a couple days a week it off the grass. The price for a large bucket is a 10 bucks and they fill it to the top. It's a practice range only. You don't here Tee times announced. I don't think they sell beer in the check in area. Just soft drinks and water. A few chips. The staff is very processional and upbeat. There is also an area for pitching chipping and putting. It's right next to the 405 but you really don't get distracted by the hum of the traffic. You're just glad not to be on the 405. They demo clubs here on a regular basis. There are some nice tables with umbrellas and comfortable chairs. It's not a country club, you go here to practice . Respect the people around you when you play. Quiet please . read more

This is my facility of choice to hone my 35+ handicap. Cheaper relative to golf courses in the vicinity, $9 for large bucket consisting of 110 balls. Even cheaper for early bird specials. Stalls that extend as far as the eye can see. Bunker area in addition to chipping and putting green. Spotless restroom. Only beef I have is the early close time, 8pm is last call for balls...and the occasional spring time gnats. Well lit. read more

It works, the have a space a sand trap practice area, as well as putting green, and of course a driving range. Staff is friendly and helpful. I appreciate the fact that they have let the grass die in the middle of the 2 sides due to the drought. No reason to water grass they nobody will step on. Oh and rubber T's are $1 each and the guy made sure to find me a straight one, not sure it matters that much once it is stuck though the mat, but what ever I appreciate the effort. read more

I have been going to this driving range for a few years now, and it has always been great. However, when I went to just go hit a bucket of balls today like normal to try and improve my game, I looked at the prices and they have skyrocketed. The medium and large basket both went up by $6, and that is almost a 100% increase on the medium basket. I am sad to say that I won't be going back unless the prices are lowered. I honestly enjoyed going here, but the prices are just outrageous now that I will be looking for a new driving range to go to. read more

This is a great practice facility that I have been frequenting lately. What I really like about this place is that they cycle in new practice balls quite often. I hear and see that you can hit off of the grass, but each time I have been there we were restricted to the mats (which I do not prefer). They also have a practice and a chipping green. The negative comment I have about this facility is that they do not have a practice bunker and the most distance away from the practice green that you can chip from is about 30 yards. However, this is still a quality practice facility. read more

Old Ranch Golf Practice Center - All alone on a foggy night. - Golf Near Me - Seal Beach, California

I like this place, but they cant seem to figure out what what HOURS/DAYS they want to operate? Close @4pm doesn't work for the working folk! 9pm use to be the norm! It was nice to use on summer nights!! read more

Great place to practice. It's my go-to spot. The mats are great and they have targets which are great. They also have a chipping area. Of anything, I make sure that I spend more time chipping than anything else. That's where you gain strokes. Or loss them if you will. read more

Price nearly doubled in Feb of this year. $14 for med bucket. Other than new mats, which should be normal maintenance, nothing has changed to warrant that big of an increase. Opportunists. At least buy us dinner first. Drive by on Lampson 3-4 a week and notice the crowds are much smaller. Good job geniuses. Medium at the Navy course is $6. Two stars only because the staff is cool and does a good job. read more

Great place. Fair prices. Public access. Ample free parking. No extra fees. Just buy a bucket and swing away. No dress code. Come as you are to hit some balls after work. NIce chip and putt area. Clean restrooms and friendly staff. Bring your clubs as non provided or Offered. read more

Old Ranch Golf Practice Center - Night time til 930. Last bucket sold at 830. Swing into the night! - Golf Near Me - Seal Beach, California

It is a great driving range. I would recommend everyone to visit this driving range before 9am otherwise it's going to get pretty packed at 10. Clean golf balls and please prepare enough cash as they only accept cash payment for certain period of time. Definitely will comeback to this place! read more

When I'm in the Long Beach, Seal Beach area, I always, always do my practicing here at Old Ranch. It's a clean facility with a large practice putting green and a well maintained short game area. But it's greatest asset is its range. A long, huge range, which is used on both sides by the public (on the practice range end) and the private (on the private country club end). And if you can bomb it over 300 yards, you can hit some of those spoiled blue bloods who should be playing polo. Anyways, there are no grass tees here and that's okay because the synthetic grass tees here are very advanced and very soft. So if you hit one fat or skull one, you won't really feel it in your arms for ten minutes. As for the prices, sometimes they change. But for the most part its $6 for a small, $7 for a medium and $9 for a large. And these are huge buckets so you can practice for hours. The range is very wide and for the past six years that I have practicing here, I have never waited for a stall. One very good aspect of the range is that it is close to a Roger Dunn Golf Shop, which is on Seal Beach Boulevard. So if you just bought a new Titleist Driver (I play Titleists, I think everyone should)....you can give it its first test run here. They have a great pro on duty here his name is Bob Silver. He is an old school golf pro who can teach aspiring amateurs to newbies to the game. And he just charges $60 for an hour, which he always goes over. Great teacher, he is a little over enthusiastic about the game but I love that dearly. So when in LBC or in SB, go to Old Ranch Practice Facility and buy a bucket. It's near the ocean, so there's always a breeze. And it's near a Target and a Quizno's. It's open from I think 7am to 9pm. And its lighted as well for night practices. read more

I love going to this range. I love the fact that they're open late and the ambiance is mellow. It's kinda of golf range where you can practice with your spouse and have a date after. The location is close to Spaghettini and Kobe Steakhouse. read more

The price of the balls was just raised 75%. They were $8 for a medium bucket they are now $14. Both the Navy Course and Eldorado are better bets now. read more

Cons: 1. Faces the Old Ranch Country Club range, so the rich people can look at you in the public side 2. Has kids that talk really loud and hit balls all over the place. 3. range is on mats only ... that's all I can think of... Pros: 1. Srixon range balls, always in great condition and cleaned 2. happy hour after 5pm (or 6pm, I don't remember), no drinks, just cheaper prices for balls 3. practice bunker, putting green and a chipping green, all free 4. clean facility 5. theres a guy that works there that makes sure he fills up the buckets (really appreciative of this) read more

I usually go here to practice. They stay open until 9pm, last bucket of balls sold at 8pm. This ranch offers a putting green, chipping green, and sand bunker to practice out of free of charge. Not many practice ranges have these amenities. One note, the range gets flooded after heavy rain so check with the shop to see if they're open before you stop by. read more

This place is NEVER OPEN. The hours listed online are wildly incorrect and whoever runs the desk leaves and locks up early everyday. Don't waste your time. Go to El Dorado instead. read more

First time at a Driving Range. Played golf 2 times in my life and still don't understand the game. Took my 2 sons over to see what this was all about. Walked in and spoke with a gentleman by the name of Mark, told him this was our 1st time ever at a driving range. I asked the basic questions, equipment, price per person, etc. He answered them all and even gave us a quick lesson, good hearted person and informative. So off we go not knowing what to expect but after a few swings and half the bucket empty I went back for another. My sons and I enjoyed the whole experience. Mark even came back to check and chat with us. I honestly can't compare this to any other Driving range BUT we will be back and with the whole family! Thanks again Mark for your help and making us feel comfortable. read more

A pleasant place to practice, not too crowded and well kept facility. The practice balls used are in good condition, not over used range balls from other facilities. Another plus is that they actually keep their hitting mats in good condition and they are not uneven like make cheaper ranges I have visited. Price is a little high compared to some other ranges I have grown up with in OC, but you are paying for a well kept driving range. One of my favorite places to practice when I am in the area. read more

This is a really nice location to hit your driver at; the field is well-kept and the guys at the desk are very welcoming people. Went here with my buddy and we had a blast, would definitely come again. read more

This place is N-I-C-E. Well kept range with perfect mats and a nice view. If you go in the afternoon the sun sets behind you which makes watching your drives a breeze. Pretty quiet and the short game area is really well kept too. My one complaint is that the attendant there was a real dickhead, extremely rude and unfriendly to say the least. The ball machine was jammed when I went and that sucked but it did give me all the balls I needed after the attendant begrudgingly fixed it. You have to buy your tees for a dollar each and the buckets are pricy and smaller in size but for how well this place is kept I would say it's a fair price. I don't know if this will be my home range because of the price and size of buckets but I will stop in again. read more

This could SO EASILY be 5 stars, but they blow it. On the plus side: 1) well kept range. 2) some mats with overhanging to keep the sun off. 3) not too many dog balls. 4) reasonably priced buckets. 5) nearly always a pretty good breeze at your back. this could be a negative if you are really trying to figure out your distances, but considering the rich kids are at the other end it gives you motivation to try to make it rain driver bombs on them. 6) good quality mats 7) a sand trap at the far end 8) well maintained putting green THE negative: 1) you have to buy a fucking tee...for a dollar. So far, I have been to this range three times and have left my tee behind twice. Sorry, I'm just not used to taking my tee with me. For the love of god people, why must we buy the tee? Why take a 5 star range and make it a 4 star for such a stupid reason? read more

Great facility! Quiet and everyone here is focused on improving their game. Great chipping area that is free and putting green is good too. Prices are normal for the buckets but you definitely can get some quality practice time in here. read more

Excellent practice range. Balls and mats are always in good condition. Putting green, chipping area and practice bunker are what make this a complete practice area. The fact that it's connected to a private country club just means there standards are higher, and it shows (in my opinion). The staff is very friendly and you might even get a member price deal on some Travis Matthew gear. A little food (maybe burgers & Dogs on the grill on the weekend) would make it a 5 Star experience for sure! read more

I am here at least 2 days a week hitting a bucket. The early bird special of 7 dollars for more than a hundred balls is a bargain to say the least. The place is well maintained, fairly new to mostly new range balls. Wide open and even has covered stalls . Yes you have to buy your own tees but you can also put a standard golf tee right into the mat. The range is long and I have been there when someone can bomb one all the way to the members side. I have yet to find a down side to this place. Every weekend there are dads who drag their future superstars out for a family friendly place. read more

Great facility and always in good shape. The best part is that the range balls are new or barely used. In comparison with the practice facilities at American Golf in Long Beach , this place beats them hands down. Nice putting green with trap for practice. It also has a nice chipping green and the staff is very generous in filling the buckets with practice balls. My favorite place to practice. read more
