    Putting "green" is really thin turf on concrete, so balls really move here
    Elvis T.

    Great spot for some family friendly fun with a date or a couple friends! Food here is actually really good too, I personally love the al pastor burrito that comes with also good salsa too. Cajun fries are crispy and tasty. I believe we got wings one time, I remember being surprised they were good too. The whole place is well kept, very clean, no trash or stink anywhere. I wish they had alcohol, but I'm guessing they'd probably need a life guard on duty for the lake hahaha my only thing is since there's a body of water, there are mosquitoes! That part isn't so fun Now for the golf, given this range is a giant lake the balls are floaters so if you're really trying to dial in your distances.. or putting game, this might not be the spot for that. The putting green is solid concrete with 1mm of turf on top of it. But if you're looking for a fun time targeting boats and eating good food, this is the spot! $21 for a large bucket, they accept apple pay on the golf ball vending machine. The pro shop staff are helpful and friendly people. Definitely come by and check this fun little place out!

    Love this place! Came for a nice Mother's Day outing. Loved hitting buckets with the family. So fun to hit the boats and floating targets. Crowded on a Sunday. Lots of people bringing their moms for some fun. Great place to come practice with friends or alone. There are food and drinks here as well. Lots of things to choose from. $16 for a large bucket.

    Value! The place is nice. Ample parking... with tons of bay and also Tons of balls. You could basically head there and rent a club or two for 3 usd each. 1-2 buckets is good enough for around 1-2 hours of play. No pressure to do such. Service was pretty good and everybody was nice and leaves you to your own devices. They also have a lot of food to offer. The prices were very competitive and not that expensive... i can see this as a good place to have a date night. Early am is good because you get d/c ... paying cash also gives you a dc.

    Such a fun place to take the kids or go with friends to hit some balls! The workers in the golf shop are always so friendly and the food options are also great!

    Pretty cool driving range! Prices are decent about $13 for large bucket and you can rent clubs for $3 per club if you're just coming for a date night or just to hit balls. There is a ton of spots, but it gets packed! Recommend just walking around and looking for a spot that is almost done asking and then waiting on the bench behind them.

    Great play to hit some golf ball's and the food isn't bad either. This place is super affordable and you can also just hang out. The ball buckets run $12-16 and the food it's about $20 for entrees. I ordered the carne fries, chicken sandwich, and burrito. Carne fries were great and the fries were seasoned which was unique and it worked well.

    Everything is good here but the lights. You can't see your ball after it goes 100 yards light needs to be fixed.

    Cheap and affordable! Love the food they offer here, and as far as the golf, it's also really easy to follow what to do and go about your business. The service is really good, and they're more than happy to help. It's a nice escape for sure!

    1. The sauce in the BBQ Chicken Sandwich was delicious, and I love how the brioche buns held everything together! The French fries were also crispy! 2. The spot has fun casual vibes as you can order good food and hit golf balls! 3. There are only outdoor seatings for the food area, and you can bring food back to your golf spot! 4. The staff were friendly for my first time experience! The food staff was able to make my order within 10-15 mins! 5. Parking lot is a medium-sized, and there is an overflow lot! Parking spots are doubled lines, and they are not compact! Note: The kitchen only takes cards! Photo: BBQ Chicken Sandwich and French Fries

    Horrible lady! Rude please fire her!!

    As a returning customer, I am beyond disappointed with our experience today. We came here to enjoy some quality time during spring vacation, but the woman working the counter completely ruined the mood. When I approached her with my boys to get golf balls and asked about pricing, she didn't even bother to be helpful--she just snapped, "It's right there." Her attitude was incredibly rude and dismissive. If you don't like your job, you shouldn't be in customer service. I have a photo of the employee to identify her for management. I strongly suggest leadership addresses her behavior or provides proper training; if she treats regular customers this way, I can only imagine how she treats others. We won't be back until this is handled.

    Come out and hit some balls!!!! Great place always busy and great staff. Been here a few times now and I enjoy the environment. Lots of spaces to use but definitely a place to go early morning on the weekends or after work burning the week. I have yet to try the food but from what it looks like the plates do smell delicious. Come check out this spot.

    A pleasant experience! The hubby and I visited on my birthday which is always on a national holiday. We parked in what appeared to be their overflow parking as it was a very busy afternoon for Islands Golf Center. The process kind of reminds of bowling alleys. You rent the golf clubs, pay for a bucket of golf balls to hit, and are to use any one of the open bays. There are plenty of them but it is super busy on weekends, evenings, and holidays. We found a spot. The golf balls are floatable and you pretty much hit them in the water. It's a nice environment with the view. Machines clean and collect the balls. I am an amateur, was observing others who appeared to be "golf people" and tried to do what they were doing. The hubby is a lot better at hitting the balls than me. With practice, I did ok for my first time. It was like I graduated from playing miniature golf. Speaking of mini golf, I believe there is a separate spot for mini golf here. The experience here was relaxing and enjoyable. It is a family friendly place. As you can see from my photos, there is a golf shop and food/beverages (no alcohol) available. We had lunch elsewhere prior to our visit. There are also opportunities for paid lessons. Our time here was very inexpensive, only $17 for maybe an hour- hour and a half visit. 4 stars!

    First timer! Had a great experience here on a Friday evening. Found parking right away. Wasn't too busy. Food was prepared fast and we really enjoyed their pizza. As of right now, highly recommend coming when it's still light out. Hoping in the future they plan to add more lights all around. Once the sun sets, it's hard to see the golf ball and targets. Cool spot though!

    How close are the islands? Anything around 100 yards to less?

    Hi, yes we have one big island at 100 and several boats at about 50 yards. Hope this helps and thanks for you interest!

    Hi there, roughly 215 to the front edge

    Planning to go tomorrow around noon. Will there be shade or will be totally out in the sun?

    There are some shaded areas. First come first serve.

    Are you allowed to bring some snacks?

    Yes please take food there. As the kitchen is still closed.

    Which holidays is this Golf center closed?

    Hi there, we have been open on all major holidays for the last couple of years.

    Is this cash only or cashless too?

    Both forms are acceptable. Thank you for your inquiry

    Is there a way if you take your own golf clubs and the driver breaks off are they break to get them back?

    Yes, we are able to recover drivers and do it regularly and return them to customers. I believe that every other club besides the driver sinks and we are unable to recover those.

    Hi... is there a monthly membership you can buy or perhaps a discount if you pay ahead? For Example sending 100.00 would give you a 20% discount?

    Hi, currently we just charge by the bucket. We just changed all of our systems and software so that we will have the ability to offer e-keys in the future. In the meantime, you can still receive discounts before 10am ($9 large) as well as discounts… Read more

    Our family recently celebrated our son's HS graduation party at XO Lounge. We had a wonderful…read morebeginning-to-end experience that included incredibly responsive, thorough, and professional communication with Jamie--the main contact in charge of booking, planning, and operational oversight. On the day of the event, Hope, Hai, Lola (bartender) and the remaining staff were unbelievably helpful, accommodating--and integral to our efficient set-up and smooth execution of a successful celebration. XO Lounge is a very posh venue with modern décor. The nightclub vibe and setup provided the core foundation--that minimized decorative needs for our graduation-themed event. Our event hosted approximately 150 guests--that we comfortably housed in the smaller nightclub event area. Despite opting out of seated dining, our area easily accommodated our guests with the use of the booths and lounge-style sofa set-up for central-space seating. We still had surplus space leftover--that was allocated for the dance floor and bar area. The nightclub further opens into an enclosed courtyard--allowing for additional cocktail tables, bar stools, and lounge-roaming for our guests. Our party featured a standard photo-booth setup with an 8-ft props table--as well as a 360-spinning video-booth in the front entryway lobby area (just to the left of entrance). Our 360-video-booth included an inflatable enclosure--that successfully fit in the entryway alcove. Our rented XO Lounge space features a stage with a floor-to-ceiling TV-grid. This large multi-screen TV--along with dozens of TVs lining the entire room-walls--cycled a slideshow of our graduate's photos throughout the evening. XO Lounge further features a full PA system, DJ plug-ins for surround sound (you must provide your own DJ/music/equipment), full nightclub equipment (e.g. spinning disco-ball light machines, fog machines, laser strobing, etc.), full bar & bartender staff, etc. I LOOVED that XO included all the needed tables of various lengths and sizes--with fitted fabric *tablecloths* included. Fabric tablecloths may seem like a minimal feature, but fitted cloth coverings elevate a sophisticated aesthetic while alleviating the patron from the added costs for these supplies. Hope oversaw our function and was so attentive--always offering to help with literally *anything*--to reduce stress for the hosts (I really appreciated that!). The venue was surprisingly affordable--with a nominal outside-catering fee; the staff were professional and delightful; and the party space and outdoor-courtyard areas fit our guests, photo/video-booths, food vendors, Welcome table, Sweets table, and largescale Balloon Arch. XO Lounge features one-stop-shop booking and planning services for all party needs, (i.e. catering, decoration, DJ, photo-booth vendors, etc.)--though we did not partake of these additional offerings. Hosting an event on this scale is stressful (IYKYK), but this venue and staff minimized the stress and streamlined our experience for a fantastic celebration. Our family would definitely book with XO lounge again for future event planning needs--and would highly recommend to our friends, family, and others. Our guests had the BEST time; and we had a GREAT PARTY celebrating our newest grad!

Apparently, it used to be a club, but has now changed into a very high-end and cool venue for weddings or whatever type of event you want to have. One of the first thing you notice when you turn in is the amount of ample parking. There are two secured Gates that open up to a huge parking lot, definitely not cramped for sure. And it has plenty of handicap spaces which is very nice. Walking into the open air pavilion, is a real treat. What a great space! This would be a great place for outside dining, or having a band play out there and dancing, if you didn't want to be cooped up inside. Definitely tons of possibilities at this venue! Inside, there is a bar on one end and a stage on the other with a huge open area. This would be perfect for a wedding or something that's held inside, if you did not want to brave the elements outside. Company on site, and can pretty much do anything you need. And that's not all, there is an upstairs area that is perfect for an overflow room, or a VIP lounge, or just a place for say a wedding party to take a break, or anything you really want to do with it. It even has a nice little outside courtyard that you can sit and get some fresh air. I could almost write a book about how awesome this place is but suffice to say if you live in Orange county and are looking for a premier venue to have your event at, I don't think you could do any better than the colony House.
