Golf Center at the Highlands

My 2 kids have just taken up Golf and we were told to go to Golden Bear as its one of the best places. Well I am so happy we did, it is an awesome facility with lots of options and the pricing is very reasonable.

Best practice facility in north Texas. They have lasered targets along with multiple putting/​chipping greens. They also have a pitching area that is big enough to use by many at one time. What sets this place apart is that the grounds are well maintained.

I purchased a new $ 400 driver for my husband for Valentine’s Day. The GM gave me his card and said they would set it up for him, just to come in and he could test various weights and shafts etc. We called to set up a time and were told we didn’t need one. We arrived today and were totally embarrassed by the staff. They embarrassed both of us by being so negative and condescending. They were upset we didn’t have an appointment, they said a fitting was $ 75, they made us feel like we were lying about what we were told and even upon presenting of the GM’s business card they said he hadn’t been to work in some time. They continued to insult us by telling us that ‘THEIR’ time was valuable, and we would have to come back, etc. We left but it was such a negative experience I went back to return to the club for which I had paid cash for and had the receipt. They told me they didnt have enough cash to return it. I finally suggested they write me a check and they have now requisitioned one from their headquarters. They have no idea when it will arrive. I tried to buy from a local business and I have spent several thousands of dollars there in the past but I’m done. We went to the local golf super store, they treated us well, fit him for free and even gave $ 10 off the club. I won’t be back Golden Bear.

It seems like driving ranges are disappearing as the city grows. I guess that makes sense. This is a good driving range in the middle of Carrollton and is really the only one in the area. I don’t know that there is anything particularly special about it as a driving range but it has decent prices and it does have a covered area as well.

Great outdoor driving range with covered area for less-​than-​ideal weather. Prices are very fair, considering quality of facilities. If you’re going to get a card, I would recommend you get the «birdie» card or better, cause you can use the chipping area and practice on the bunkers for free. Yea that might be free at most other driving ranges, but it is a nice chipping surface.
I really like their driving range grass here, really gives me good practice on my irons, unlike some other driving ranges that have bad grass/​grounds that make practice less realistic of actual golf course conditions. I mean, when you’re taking your 2^nd or 3^rd shot with your irons at a golf course, you’re probably not going to be hitting off some crabgrass on really hard soil that hasn’t been watered in forever.
Glad I found Golden Bear.
Note that the facility is in Carrollton, not Dallas. Close to the Addison Airport
