St Rose Driving Range

This is a great place to hit some balls and have a few beers. They also have really tasty bar food and a glorious popcorn machine, so your appetite will not overwhelm you while you imbibe.

The owner is a really friendly guy named Bruce. He makes you feel welcomed and sometimes even gives out coupons for free buckets of golf balls!

There are a several bar games if you are the type of individual who like bar activities. Also plenty of seating if you prefer to mellow out while you have a few.

A laid-back, low-key environment!

Fun atmosphere, cheap drinks, decent food. I suck at hitting golf balls but there are about 40 old retirees there who are more than willing to help with your swing. Good stuff but not at all snazzy.

This place is pretty cool. A buddy of mine and I were doing some training across the street and happened to have our clubs in the car, so we stopped by to grab a few drinks and hit some balls.

We started off getting a bucket of beers and then headed out to the range. The entire hitting area is covered and has plenty of fans and ventilation. There was some loud music playing in what was definitely an unusual atmosphere for golf, but not unpleasant.

The range has a bunch of random objects strewn about for you to aim at... like a Seadoo jet boat, old cars, giant targets, metal garbage cans... all of which are probably viewed by the ball retrieval guy as a welcome distraction for the many drunken golfers that would otherwise be aiming for him!

The place would be PERFECT if it had a grass hitting zone. I hate hitting irons off of astro turf and I even asked if I could hit from the grass, but they said no :( Luckily I was drinking and so enamored with the rest of the place, I didn't really care... but when I am seriously working on my game, rather than just having a drunken good time, I won't stop by this range.

BOTTOM LINE: Golf and cold beer. A+
