Got fitted for clubs and we agreed on a price quote. When the clubs came in, I was informed that a “mistake” was made. They discovered that they quoted me wrong and that the clubs would now be more expensive. When I showed up to see what was going on, I was told nothing could be done. After some discussion, the guy I did the fitting with offered some money off but it was only after I was going to walk out. It was reluctant and he had to go the manager for permission. The manager never even came out of his office to acknowledge the mistake that they made. (He could easily hear us talking.) They didn’t even offer a bucket balls to hit. They just wanted to get rid of me. I took the money off and the clubs. Still cost more than the original quote by a good margin. It was better then starting my search all over again but the way it was handled was very poor. If you are going to run an honest business, own up to your mistakes rather then declaring, “there is nothing we can do about it.” You run the business, you had the power to do what was right by sticking to your original quote. Instead, you hid in the back office. So I have new clubs that need to be ranged but it will not happen at Terra Cotta. They would have easily made up the difference by me hitting balls there. The entire ending of this reeked in dishonesty and covering up. I will never go back.

Great facility with nice cut grass tees and excellent chip-n-putt practice green. Jim Buenzli's lessons are spot on.

Best driving range around hands down! Since moving to IL two years ago, I have been coming to Jim's creation. What he offers to customers is the best putting green that puts some golf courses to shame, outdoor grass or mat options, indoor simulators, cub fitting/ repair AND the staff only make it better! Top notch group, bravo Jim. The hours and rates are great too! My kids have participated in the junior classes and I'm saving up for individual lessons with a guy that qualified for a senior GPA major! Well done Jim... Thank you for such a great place filled with great people...
