This is a country version of Top Golf! Love the ambience and the ball tracking system on each bay works surprisingly well. Could have the tokens for the ball machines a little closer instead of having to walk to the clubhouse to pay for them, but it’s not that bad. Overall great little driving range!

This is the closest golf course to my place in San Juan so I visit atleast once a week. Very nice staff, good gas powered carts, and the cart girl comes around for drinks and empanadas. The course itself is a good mix of challenging par 4/5s and some fun par 3s. Most are narrow fairways but some are very wide across the highway. The driving range is huge, two levels, and each bay has a screen for TopTrace that tracks all your shots. Makes it fun like top golf and also allows you to easily record your average distances per club. The practice putting/chipping area is huge so it’s still good when it’s busy. The bar is fun and busy and I always see people eating there. Surprisingly people like to rent the gazebo for events like baby shower parties on the weekends.

Played a round before boarding a cruise. The course is very nice for a municipal course but also very challenging as the fairways tend to be narrow and water is always around, so play conservatively if you’re a higher handicap like me. The facilities are very good and they have everything a golfer would want. When originally booking, I couldn’t find a course near San Juan that had tee times available before noon on weekends, so I emailed the Pro Shop and they replied promptly with a morning tee time so I could make my evening cruise boarding.

El lugar muy bien, solo que la atención en el área de La Terraza (al lado del campo) fue muy descortés

This place is absolutely wonderful. The staff is friendly, they have 57 bays at the driving range and the bucket of balls are priced excellent. I spent 5 hours here today and I'll be back tomorrow.
