Vanco Golf Range

The gentleman who run this range are courteous and professional. As a novice to golf, I'm impressed by their willingness to help. Lou, the PGA golf instructor on Sunday, gave me plenty of tips. He probably gave me a half hour of his time. To him, I thank you. This outfit has excellent customer service. They have a pretty good pro shop as well. I walked in and Lou set me up with a couple of clubs to try out. He then came over and helped me with my game almost immediately. I would highly recommend this range to anyone. Prices are very reasonable too. Thanks for the fun experience.

I am not a golfer and have no idea how to play golf since none of my friends do I have never been shown or offered to play. However I love to come and hit some balls here it's a great stress relief it's cheap! Great staff the only thing that would make this better is if they had some politicians running around out there that you could aim at!!!:-)

The perfect range to tune in your drives or mid range clubs. The putting/chipping green are also nice. A bucket of balls is fairly inexpensive. Nice, friendly and knowledgeable golf staff.

The guys inside really know what they're talking about a lot of help for beginners on choosing the right clubs

This driving range has the basics covered well; range with targets, putting green, chipping green, pro shop with services, professional instruction. You may see a new Range Rover parked outside occasionally, but don't get the wrong idea, this is not a classy range. The range itself is a hard, dirt covered area only 250 yds to the fence and trees. Most of the hitting mats are badly cupped out from use. The range balls are pretty worn and you often get one with a broken cover. The chipping and putting area is a small, fenced in area surrounded by clumpy, non-manicured, medium length rough. As an added challenge, you can be penalized by losing your ball through the fence if you over hit in the small chip/putt area. There is a little area on one end of the range where you can hit from real grass, but good lies are hard to find. This is a blue collar range, for lack of a better description. No dress code, talk loud, use foul language, horse around, have a good time. It seems like every time I am there I am startled by a loud crack followed by a ball bouncing around the hitting area, caused by someone ricocheting a ball off the roof overhang, or shanking it into the little 1 foot tall plywood divider between stalls. There is little use of etiquette in the chip/putt area. I've had people just start chipping or putting to my hole, even though there are 8 other unused holes. I've had people kick or putt my balls, both unintentionally and intentionally. I've had strange people walk up to me mid-swing and give unsolicited advice. People often try to lob pitch shots in this small area. This week a guy (a regular there) and two teenagers (maybe his, maybe not) plopped down several handful of balls and starting lobbing 50 foot pitches over one chipping green to a different one on the other side, and pretty much over my head while I was trying to putt. Practicing under these conditions might have its benefits, but also its limitations and safety issues. I've never seen the employees even raise an eyebrow. The location is good and easy to get to and the price is right for a bag of tokens. Most of the employees are very nice. Just be ready for the unexpected, use caution, and don't expect too much from the facilities.
