Power tees! What more can I say? Well a lot. Ample stalls for any type of swing practice you want to do you can use the awesome power tees or there is an area where you can use your own tees. Many of the tee areas are covered and heated. No excuse for not getting your practice in. Great front desk service. I have had no issues with the ball machine not working. There is an on-site repair shop. There is golf instruction and workshops available. Last but not least, they have consistent daily hours! Oh, one last thing, there's a senior discount program for range balls. And prepaid packages. This is my go to practice spot when I'm in Michigan. read more

Royal Oak Golf Center - Entrance - Golf Near Me - Royal Oak, Michigan

Came here for the mini golf, was very confused on the entrance as there wasn't much signage. We ended up walking into the main entrance and were kindly redirected to the mini golf portion. We were there during matinee pricing so we only paid 9.50 each per person, not a bad deal at all. The course itself was meh, not much to speak on. The holes were all slightly similar variations of each other, and on the simpler end. But we still had a good time. It could use some "sprucing up" there was a golf club in one section of the water, and a handle railing that was completely wrapped in caution tape. As well as trash/items left behind by other guests along the way. It's a simple course, but it serves its purpose. read more

Prices continue to increase every year, and quality continues to decrease. Every bucket of balls comes with at least a few cracked or broken balls. The majority of the golf balls are so old that they wear off on the club face. The green dye from the turf mats ends up caked on the bottom of the club. You have to scrub your clubs clean every time you hit a bucket here. This doesn't happen at other driving ranges like Carl's. It would be nice if they spent some money on customer experience instead of only spending money on maximizing revenue. read more

$20 large bucket. Need to lower the prices or substantially improve the (run down) facilities

$17/ buckets is too much. Charge $17 if you have trackman and good range balls. I know other places that charge $12/buckets for 100 balls. I dont understand the hours. I never have. Why cant they open at 7 am on the weekends? When summer rolls around, why not stay open until 10:00 pm? Get some lights surrounding the putting green too. Closing at 8:30 when apple maps says 9:00 frustrated me tonight. I put my kids to bed and zip over for nothing when I got there at 8:15. Carls also never seems to have bad range balls. Sure do miss the practice area too. This place was once legit and it could be soooo much better. read more

This was a nice putt putt golf course, we were there for about an hour. It was clean fairly priced and some zones were easy and some were a bit more challenging. Overall we enjoyed ourselves would definitely recommend as a family outing. read more

Really nice facility. The mats are like brand new. Love the automatic ball tea machine. To use a facility is nice and only pay $17 for a bucket of 100 balls is a real value. read more

Wasn't going to post my review on pricing or quality of the balls until I read a snarky response from the owner claiming the prices went up due to an increase in minimum wage laws. Owner claims they sunk $2.5m into the facilities, perhaps that's why pricing went up? So we could recoup those costs for him. Absolutely ridiculous response from the owner. Poor little victim read more

Prices have soared lately...$15 for a large bucket?! Ok, fine...I'll pay the money. Btw, it used to be $9 just a few years ago. *What's that? I can't hit more than 240 yds because you haven't fixed the nets in the back? *I also had to grab my own basket because none of the employees had returned them to the ball machine room? *Please make all these fixes or I'll never return again. read more

After the experience I had where they wouldn't acknowledge that I had a scheduled lesson (despite showing my confirmation email and credit card charge), I took a few months off going to this place. However, I think the golf instructors there are good, so I started going back to take lessons with Matt. I've thoroughly enjoyed my lessons and my golf game has improved (albeit slowly) -- if I was rating just Matt, I'd give him 5 stars. That said, the business itself never even attempted to offer a solution for the issue I had, which was clearly an error on their end. So, I'm still left with a bit of a sour taste regarding my interactions with this place and can't go higher than 3 stars. Maybe I'll feel differently once they re-open the putting green and the chipping area -- both are sorely needed and have been closed for a long time. read more

This mini golf course was fun. It was a good mix between easy and hard and being a golfer i could agree with that statement. It's a good starter course for beginners with lots of short holes. The staff were very friendly and got us in quick. The course was in ok condition but they need to fix some of the loose bricks and greens which some had holes in them. They had the waterfalls running which added a nice touch. I would recommend this course and will come back soon. read more

Putt putt is awful! Dirty! Lots of bugs due to dirty standing water! You will wait forever for your turn due to no rules enforced. We won't be back. read more

Always great place, now even better with more covered/heated tees. Never as crowded as Carl's which is an added bonus.

Nice, close driving range for the RO folks here. It's not bad, can get rather busy here during the warmer season. Have come here before and had to wait for a tee. The tees are a bit worn and beat up, once I had a tee that looked like it was chewed off or something, but they still work. It's pretty inexpensive here too. It's a quick process to check out and get your bucket of balls. No pressure to get through the bucket either. read more

I took the level 1 golf class here and Matt is amazing. To give everyone perspective, I have been golfing for 8 years and my handicap is 28. Regardless of the different skill sets from the people attending the class, Matt was able to teach something new and beneficial to everyone. One thing that struck out to me was that Matt is able to teach and breakdown golf in a much more simple and easy way. Golf can be very technical and sometimes overwhelming, Matt's approach was to make it easygoing and simple for both experience and new players. I would recommend anyone trying to take a class and learn the sport. Lastly the range is nice, heated for the cold weather and open year around. The facility is great and helpful. Even Matt said hi as I was hitting balls. Great trainers and staff. read more

Mainly have come here for the putt putt golfing. The holes are pretty well kept and are decently challenging. It's always fun to not just blow through the course and have some tough 6+ stroke holes. Each hole you start to climb higher and higher on this little mountain they have, and then about half way through, you start to come back down to finish. Pretty neat idea! I did the driving range once and was on the side that has my back to the road and wouldn't ya know, as I was about to swing someone honked their horn. You're asking for it if you go to that part of the driving range, not sure if tea for them to have driving range greens on that side so close to the road. read more

Loved my experience here! Because of coronavirus they do not rent clubs so you have to make sure to bring your own. I came here on a weekday in the evening and did have to wait a bit for a spot to open up. I would have preferred that they only let in enough people for the amount of spots available so that you would not have to stand so close to other people inside. read more

Royal Oak Golf Center is great! The staff is very knowledgeable about golf! My golf lessons really improved my game! Thanks so much to the Staff! read more

An organization that I am a part of took about 11 middle school-aged children here for lessons. Our instructor, Matt, was awesome. He was knowledgeable, very hands-on, and had a great sense of humor. He also did a great job of keeping the children engaged. The manager, Glen, was awesome as well. He took the time out of his busy schedule to speak with our group. He was very informative and engaging as well. Not only did I learn new things about golf, I learned a couple of historical facts about Detroit. I would definitely come here for any future golfing needs. read more

Matt was not only an amazing instructor, he was engaging, and knowledgable when speaking to my organizations "Tween" group. Many of them left saying "I want to play golf in high school." Thanks Matt we enjoyed our time with you! read more

Glenn and Matt at the Royal Oak Golf Center were amazing. My organization brought in 11 young people to receive an introductory lesson to golf. Our golf pro instructor Matt was energetic, fun, knowledgeable, and really kind to our parents and kids. You can tell when someone enjoys what they do and Matt truly does. To top it off, Glenn not only helped me organize this event but then he took some time out of his schedule to speak with our youth about the benefits of golf, the cost, the longevity of the game and even how people play the game can say a lot about their character. Overall, our youth had a truly wonderful experience. I highly recommend the Royal Oak Golf Center. Thank you for making it a time to remember for our kids! read more

Fantastic range. Not sure how this place could have a single negative review. Year round and automated ball tees. Front desk always friendly. Great golf smith too! read more

I literally drive past RO Golf every single day, I can walk here yet it's taken me 5 years to come. Silly me! We had a great spring afternoon playing some mini golf. At $6 a person for adults it's certainly an affordable afternoon activity. It was not very busy when we went but I can see this place getting busy in the summer. There are signs everywhere indicating it shouldn't take you more than 5 strokes per hole, or no more than 4 mins. Also, they say groups should be 4 people or less. Seems a little rigid to me. The course was actually quite challenging but a good time. I realize it's still early spring and maybe they haven't done much spring clean up but it was quite messy. All of the water features were gross, extremely dirty and lots of garbage floating about. If they are open for the season they should probably pay a few kids to keep it clean. Otherwise it was a nice time. read more

I was verbally attacked by the employee Justin T. When I asked for the owners information he pointed to a rack of cards and said "it's over there" he then came back out from his office a 2nd time & I asked him "do I just email Glenn A. Pulice the GM?" He said yes. As I was walking out of the building he again disrespected me but in front customers this time. read more

Came here to get some exercise - (a bit) - and liked the experience. Not very expensive. They have put in new auto tees that tee the ball up for you, so no more bending over and chasing the balls around. You can adjust the height of the tee for your different clubs. They have overhead heaters, that was nice, but you still need to dress warmly in the winter. It was a busy day - so people were lined up waiting. That's the only rough spot - there is no true line - so you just have to mill about and wait for someone to leave or pick a spot and hope that person leaves. But with the new auto tees you can't tell how many balls someone has left to hit. Also - my bf is a lefty - so that is a problem with the new tee system also - you can't just flip the mat around to make it a left handed tee. He had to find a lefty tee then wait until that person left. I realize there aren't as many left as right handed people - but it still meant he got started way after I did - then I had to wait for him to finish. But all in all a good experience. read more

Friendly staff and great for all of your golf needs! The heated tee bays are an added bonus for the cooler spring months.

I have been going to Royal Oak Golf Center for a few years and have always been able to use Youth On Course during the spring months however now they have come up with a new policy to not allow youth on course from 2pm-8pm until June 1st. Now whenever I want to go after school I have to spend the regular price of $14 instead of the Youth on Course amount of $4. This is outrageous and flat out unacceptable for kids who want to hit balls for an affordable price. read more

It looks like this putt putt golf course has been neglected for years.... No water features, dirty, trip hazards, busted concrete. read more

this is a great golf course. if you want to golf you can go to the driving Range and them go to the course. overall great spot

We won't be back. You will spend more time waiting to putt than actually putting because no rules in forced. Massive amounts of bugs due dirty standing water. I have paid a lot less for a lot more! read more

Website says putt putt closes at 8:30, we arrive at 7:32 and get told we cannot play as they close sales an hour early, this is not stated anywhere on their website. Worker was rude about the whole situation, only cared about leaving when her shift was done. Do not recommend read more

Getting gold lessons with my daughter and has been great. Auto ball set ups and priced appropriately. I enjoyed the lesson and learned so much. We continue to go back and hit balls to improve our game! read more

I went here with my boyfriend tonight for some mini golf, I think this is the closest mini golf place to me. They have 'regular' golf as well. Mini golf is $6.50 per round for adults ($4.50 for seniors, which is a bargain!). I didn't really like that the course was right at the corner of Coolidge and 13 Mile, as it was kind of loud. They have signs up that say you shouldn't take more than 4 minutes per round, but around hole #14 or so we got stuck in a backlog of about 3 parties which took a little while to clear up. I'd come back here since it's so close but I'd like to try other courses in the area first, I think we may try C.J. Barrymore's next time since it's on his side of town. read more

Love the place! Super fun for the entire family. I like the different structures and obstacles around there. It's outdoor fun when you want to take time enjoy summers in Michigan. Will come back to visit soon read more

Im updating my review based on a recent experience. The last time I visited the course was run down and some holes were broken. They cleaned up the courses for putt putt, however I'm only rating it a 3 star because there was some trash and debris on some of the holes which tells me regular cleaning may not take place. However it is a fast playing course. Much more simple than before and lack luster. I wish there were more interactive holes.. they also took away the rivers that used to exist. Perhaps add a waterfall for a more enchanting play? read more

Hadn't been to ROGC in a few years ... but it was beautiful outside yesterday, so I took my 5 year old over for a round of mini golf. The staff at the counter were welcoming and helpful. Kids under 3 are free, BTW! We had a blast! He loved picking out his ball and club. He loved running down to the end to see where the home was before we began. We made our way thru the 18 holes at a leisurely pace (let the party behind play thru). It was nice being there at a time of day when it wasn't mobbed so that he could take his time. When we finished, he wanted to play again! Not today ... but we will definitely be back. The driving range was busy - lots of people getting ready for spring & summer golfing! We enjoyed watching them. Looked like some people were taking lessons, too. read more

Once again this place confounds me. They have a nice safsystem with COVID but only allowing 1 medium bucket per person per day even when they are not busy. Why in the world would you not want to take more money during these times? Must be the same guy that came up with the point system which confused everyone last year. Definitely never going back. Would rather drive the extra 10 minutes to Carl's with the TrackMan system. read more

Showed up to mini golf 1 minute late and the lady denied service. I understand it says show up a hour before but the matter of a single minute shouldn't be that big a deal. Shows the laziness of workers. read more

The hours show that this establishment closes at 9:30 on Saturday nights. We showed up at 8:30 with our group of 4 and were turned away by a guy behind the counter because they stopped selling tickets for mini golf at 8:30 FYI. We were standing by the first hole coming up with other things to do and we watched two other groups get balls and be able to go up and start playing mini golf. At that point it was 8:35 and I went to ask why they were still letting other players go and saw they were about to let another group of 5 that had 3 children start the course. They gave them the balls and then I asked why we weren't allowed to play. A very rude girl came up behind the counter and said they were done selling tickets. Then they actually told the family with kids that they also couldn't play after they give the kids their balls and clubs. Over all a shocking and rude experience. Definitely won't go back. read more

The golf gets four stars. Good set up. Decent mats. The heaters work in the winter. Serves its purpose and prices are competitive with anywhere else 2 stars for the parking lot. I got a flat tire there Two weeks Ago and yesterday saw some poor old man trip in the one of the many many potholes and rocks. You guys spend six figures on upgrades. Why not spend ten grand and asphalt the parking lot so it's safe. It's been a decade like this come on Treat us with a little respect Thanks read more
