The Too Long; Didn't Read (tl;dr): I'm a huge fan of Tee Zone. I have been a full member for the past several years, and will continue to be with no reason to go elsewhere. In four years, I have no complaints towards the facility or the staff of hard workers. They balance a well-kept and useful area, with the perk of hot food, and a friendly and personal approach. They deserve our respect, kindness, and adherence to their reasonable policies.

I would describe the range as a simple one, BUT they are EXCELLENT in this regard. When you visit Tee Zone as spring has gotten underway, a serious golfer will find all that they need. There is an all natural shortgame area; which is a 60 or-so yd pitch to bunkered and sloped green, dedicated bunker to flat green, and a large putting green. This area is condensed, yet natural, well groomed, partially netted, and probably loved by its greens-keeper. I believe it's available to anyone who purchases range balls. The range itself consists of mainly grass tees targeting numerous synthetic greens and allowing for 275 (maybe even 300) yard shots. The grass tees replace the synthetic tee blocks as soon as the weather permits. That is a golfer-pleasing policy, and not one to be criticized as per another's review. For those who are learning or simply there for fun, there are synthetic tees at the north end of the property.

In addition to the respectable practice areas, there are lessons and clinics on offer, proshop with new and used equipment, vending-machine-type food, and made-fresh barbecue and beer during peak season. You can enjoy your food inside with TV, or on the patio with music.

Go to Tee Zone, notice the care and personality by which it operates, get better at golf, and leave it in better condition than when you arrived. That last one is the true foundation of golf...tradition that I deeply hope remains locked within the game itself and I think Tee Zone would agree.
