Deer Valley Golf Range

Excellent driving range, and one of the best in Atlanta!! The extra care this team puts into everything really shows. Grass tees are always mint. Yardage markers are abundant and accurate every day. Ball machine is efficient and packed with new Bridgestone range balls. Putting greens are delicately maintained (I’ve witnessed it first hand being early most days) so they always roll great. Mats are top too. No weird rubber tees, they have slots where you can use your own. Bonuses: Some covered bays, based on availability. Two greens to practice short game. One dedicated putting green. Membership card option for bonus balls. Ball machine is automated, so no attendant (for us anti-social folk) On-site lessons. Helpful staff. Go hit balls here!

Excellent facility with lots of options for practice. ⛳️🏌🏼‍♂️ I went here for the first time last week and really enjoyed my practice session. The golf balls were pretty new, the mats were in decent shape and I never had to ask any questions because of all the signs. 😂 I like the different targets on the range as well as the fact that you’re to pull your car right to the area you’re practicing. The whole range is well thought out.

Today, I took my kids to the range to practice and Chris helped us get settled. He was so attentive to our needs, since we got there. He helped us fill the buckets, explained the membership details, glove fittings and purchase, tees, and even making sure the moms had chairs to sit. The care and customer service was outstanding. We will be back very soon. Thank you!!!

Had an awesome lesson last Friday. Exactly what I needed. Jim broke everything down in a way that finally made sense. He focused on the fundamentals, fixed my grip and swing path, and explained what I was doing wrong in a way that clicked immediately. Great energy, direct feedback, and no wasted time. I walked out hitting the ball cleaner than ever and actually understanding why. Highly recommend.

I took a lesson with Jim Cropper today and my overall experience was pretty poor. I am very very new to golf and I was hoping to get some solid feedback on my swing, my overall form, and any bad habits that I may have. In the hour lesson I booked with him, Jim did give me some decent pointers on how to correct these mistakes. Though he was just extremely rude, and condescending during the lesson. It's like he was talking down to me the entire lesson rather than lifting me up. At one point during the lesson, he asked me if I had any athletic experience, such as swinging a bat or throwing a ball. I told him no, and after that I felt like I was belittled for not having athletic experience, other than what I do play, such as snowboarding. I also could tell he was getting visibly frustrated when I didn't grasp a concept as easy as he said it was, and it came across in the lesson. Just an overall unpleasant experience. I left the range more disappointed than when I had started. If you are new to golf, please find a different instructor.

Stopped by 11/6. Was planing to just hit some balls. Jim had a lesson cancel, so he fit me in. Within 30 mins he helped me improve what issues i was having with my fade and pull left. Also, helped me simplify my swing. I’ll be back when in the ATL area.

Amazing range, best grass you could ask for and very good practice greens. Manager is friendly and very on top of things.

If you're looking for a decent and affordable driving range that takes care of its grass, mats, range balls, putting green etc, then this is it. Unfortunately the Instructor and possible part owner (IDK) Jim Cropper is one of the rudest human beings I've ever met. My first impression of him was when he grabbed my credit card out of my hand like he was trying to rob me at the ball machine and things only got more hilariously ill-mannered when he came up behind me and my friends, stood and stared at us for what seemed like an eternity until i acknowledged his insolent presence. He then asked if I was giving private lessons. I had recently hurt my back and was only there helping/supporting two of my closest friends. Thankfully life is too short and I can laugh about people like him after the fact. He is enough to take what should be a 5 star rating down to a half star (I rounded up).

There are three facilities much closer to my house, but I come here because it's the best by comparison. It's not even close. I'm at the range 2-3 times a week, and DV has everything you need to work on your game. Grass, mats, green, sand... they have it. They do a great job with the upkeep, and when you factor in the cost of the buckets (they just got new balls), it's an unbeatable value. If Jim ever decides to expand into club services -- fittings, repair, regrip, etc. -- they would have my business, along with the hundreds of patrons that love this place.

Great range. A lot of space and parking Customer service is fantastic as well. Cheers

Great courses Good greens Fair prices Cart rentals were good Employees were thoughtful and helpful

The positive reviews are absolutely correct, great range, great folks, good balls, grass tees, well run.

Love this place. Highly recommend and well worth the lunch money to work on your game. Open early and late which is very convenient for a working man like myself.

Highly recommend. Great service. Great practice conditions. Grass tee. Pro very polite and personable. Recommend for lessons to improve game.

Great course. Enjoyed our time there. Lots of hills and challenging holes. Made for a fantastic day

I've been going here consistently for about 6 months while my club's range is being repaired. I have to say this driving range is very well run, and I've been more than impressed. First, the choice between mats and real grass is a great one to have. The range is always kept very clean, the balls have always been cleaned, and they even have a few separate chipping and putting areas that are solid as well. There is a gentleman that works there that checks on everyone, keeps the area clean and he is not only personable every time I am there, he does a great job of making sure the facility is spotless. I'd highly encourage any avid golfer that wants to work on his/her game to visit Deer Valley.

Very decent driving range close to Dunwoody, off of Holcomb Bridge. One side is usually for mats, the other side is for practice off the ground. There's a small chipping area, one practice bunker, and one practice green. Bucket prices are reasonable. One nice perk is there's an area to store any balls, up to 2 weeks, you haven't hit for the next time you go back. Write your name and date on a slip of paper, put it in the bucket, store the bucket, and voila.

Went this evening. It was super easy to use the vending machine to access the balls. It was just me so I did 50 balls for $10. They have 2 sides 1 with mats, the other without, & a small covered section. The bare side did have a lot of divots & very sandy but that's normal when you have people hitting in the same spots daily. The green practice space is separate & a decent size. They also even had a food truck with hotdogs & lemonade I believe. I didn't try, but definitely will next time! I also loved that the range wasn't close to the street so you don't hear traffic in the background. Enjoyed my time!

Me and my buddy decided to look for some courses since we are new to the area and we found Fox Crew

The folks running Deer Valley put in the work to help serious golfers improve with year round real grass practice areas so someone's a "grass-whisperer" on their tee boxes. There's no substitute for hitting off real grass for practice on long irons and short game. There are also practice mats for folks who want to use them. And very well cared for putting and chipping areas and sand-trap. This is a well run, well-maintained and constantly improving facility worth a drive particularly in the winter when most facilities are "mats-only". And all very competitively priced so good value. Great job!

Deer Valley was very convenient! Not a golfer myself, we took the golf kiddo to practice his skills. It was very easy to use the ball dispenser and everything was explained nicely inside the building shack. However, the entrance was a little confusing, there were no signs directing yoU were to go. So, as you enter head straight to the yellow building at the end of the parking lot. Everything else is self explanatory. It was a sunny and a bit cold, so the range was pretty empty and we had lots of spots to chose from. We used their selection of free clubs and bought a bucket of 120 balls for $14. Very reasonable. The turf and grass areas were clean and well maintained. It was a nice way to get him some practice.

Great spot, easy access to clubs, balls, room for lots of people. My friend never hit a in his life, was very nervous about people watching him. After wiffing a few, he noticed that, well nobody noticed. No judgement zone

This is probably the best, and best bang for the buck, driving range around. Very large range, $20 for a large bucket and they replace the balls reasonably often so you aren't hitting broken/trashy range balls. You can also prepay on a deer valley range card and you get a discount. I haven't taken lessons with Jim, but both he and Chris are extremely polite and friendly. One side is grass and the other is mats (rotated monthly as grass is repaired on one side). Immaculate grass range conditions. Plenty of targets and distance markers no matter where you are hitting from. There are also two large putting greens which you can short distance chip on- also immaculate condition. Plenty of parking which is right up on the "bays" so you don't have to lug your bag m/clubs I go here almost daily now with the exception of days I'm playing 18. HIGHLY recommend.

Laidback environment. Has plenty of space at the driving range section and a dedicated area for putting. The balls are self serve through a vending machine. Chill experience, would recommend.

full disclosure: i am at this range prob 3 times a week. but my review is of the pro, jim cropper. i walked off course prob 2 years ago after shooting over 100 Almost in tears. over the course of prob 12-15 lessons and lots of practice, i broke 80 last week. i have had several instructors over the years but none have come close to resonating w me as has Jim.

The best driving range in the Atlanta area by far. Great value. Large, and I mean large, bucket for $20. Plenty of accurate yardage markers. Extended hours. Nice putting green. And Jim is a terrific teaching pro. Five stars all the way!

One of my friends introduced me to Deer Valley Golf Range. He grew up going to the driving range here. When I saw all the glowing reviews on Yelp, I just knew I had to check this place out. It's too bad Deer Valley isn't closer to my home or my workplace or I'd visit more often. If you want to work on your game or just get out of the house, this is the place to come. This is a humble, low-key, casual, relaxed, and laid-back golf practice facility (there is no actual golf course). There's nothing fancy about it. There is no dress code and the facility is open year-round, 365 days a year, and is lighted at night. You don't have to interact with any employees. There's a Range Servant (automatic range ball dispensing machine) that accepts cash and credit cards. Here was the range ball pricing during our visit: * Small basket - 45 balls - $7.00 ($0.16 per ball) * Medium basket - 75 balls - $10.00 ($0.13 per ball) * Large basket - 105 balls - $13.00 ($0.12 per ball) * Jumbo basket - 180 balls - $20.00 ($0.11 per ball) The range balls are Wilson Staff "Premium Range" balls. The balls we hit were in good condition. The range also offers Wilson Staff demo clubs. I believe you have to interact with a human to get access to one of those. :) One thing that I think is great about Deer Valley is they have free clubs for you to borrow and use at the range. They have men's and ladies' clubs, left and right-handed clubs, and even kids clubs. There are plenty of clubs to choose from. Not surprisingly, the selection isn't the greatest quality (admittedly, some are bottom of the barrel), but for "free," you really can't complain. I think offering these free clubs to borrow is a fantastic way to get someone into the game of golf because sometimes just the cost of renting or buying clubs can be a deterrent for potential new golfers. The driving range is nestled along the Chattahoochee River. A row of mat hitting stations faces north and a row of Bermuda grass hitting stations faces south, so there are actually two ranges which means there are plenty of spots to hit. I'm not sure if they switch up the mat/grass hitting arrangement between the north and south range, but I suspect that they might to keep the grass in good shape year-round. The parking lot, range ball machine, restrooms, cold drinks, and a training/demo shack are in between. There are up to 9 different flags/yardages. The ranges have multiple club cleaning buckets with brushes and towels. I prefer to hit off grass because it's the real thing, but it's good that Deer Valley gives you the option. Mats are more forgiving, but less realistic. During our visit, a lot of the grass on the driving range had been used up pretty good, but I was able to find enough patches of grass to satisfactorily hit all of my balls with no issues. We used the practice bunker and practice putting green too. There's a practice chipping area as well, but we didn't get around to using it. Obviously, you can work on all aspects of your game here. The practice bunker was in OK shape. There was a good amount of sand in the bunker and the sand was fluffy enough. What I like about Deer Valley's practice bunker is there's a deep end and a shallow end so you can practice a variety of bunker shots. There are also little flags around the bunker that you can aim at to make your bunker practice session more productive. Remember to rake the bunker when you're finished! The practice putting green is fairly spacious and is roughly the same size as the practice putting greens you might find at an actual course. It's made of TifEagle ultra dwarf Bermuda grass. It was in great shape when we putted around on it. The green is fairly flat for the most part, but there are undulations here and there to help you practice how to read greens and how to play speed putts. Another thing that I think is neat about Deer Valley Golf Range is, like the game of golf which is a game of honor and integrity, the business expects you to conduct yourself the same way as a customer as you would on the golf course. Cases in point: Cold drinks (sports drinks, water, soda, etc.) and candy bars are available self-serve in a fridge near the range ball machine. To pay, you just put cash into the open cash tray inside the fridge (exact change). If you pay for range balls using cash, exact change is required. If you don't have exact change, there's envelope with change that you can use. Tees are free. All this is on top of the aforementioned free clubs that you can borrow. It's nice for a business to operate like this in this day and age. And if you decide to steal something, well, there are a lot of security cameras around. Refreshments are affordably priced. Examples: $1 for a bottle of Dasani water or a can of Dr. Pepper, $2 for Gatorade, Powerade, or vitaminwater, and $2 for a Snickers bar. I like how they don't price gouge you. I've already been back and look forward to returning again.

Love the way this range is set up. The honor system is a cool nod to manners in the game of golf. This is my favorite range of all.

We have been here twice this week and love it! It's a very comfortable and laid back environment! Service is amazing, Chris stopped by and asked if we needed anything, he's very attentive. You have a variety of choices with how many balls you would like to hit which was nice and very affordable. Will definitely be coming back!

Worth the drive from Brookhaven. Chipping/putting areas and grass tees or mats at your standard market rate.

Really nice place. It can visited by all ages. The putting and chipping green was nice add on

This is a great driving range with new golf balls AGAIN!, ... turf in great conditions, friendly staff. Four bucket sizes to your choice, open daily from 7:00 am to 9:30 pm!

A wonderful golf range run by very nice people. A great place to come after a long day at work or school and enjoy the outdoors while hitting some balls. I was even given pointers by several employees on my swing to help improve further. Highly recommend!

This is the best driving range in metro Atlanta and it isn't close. They do a phenomenal job with maintenance. There's always great grass to hit off 365 days a year. They actually over seed with rye grass in the winter. Golf balls are always in great shape. Jim the owner installed a pitching area and great putting green as well. 'The Deer Valley range is great for people of all ages and skill levels. Highly recommended.

Love Deer Valley range. It's a great open range to practice your game. They have real turf and artificial mat stations. There are easily more than 80 stations which is one my favorite things about this range. It never feels to clustered when it's busy. There's distance markers all throughout the range that extremely accurate and easy to read. Besides their massive driving range they provide a short game practice area that provides sand play as well. That area is also very roomy and not cramp. They also have a massive putting green that is very well taken care. They also have lessons available at this driving range. There are 4 different ball basket sizes. 60 balls for $8 90 balls for $11 120 balls for $14 And 180 for $20. If you are looking for a great range to practice your game and not feel to cramped like at other ranges this is the place. The facility is very well taken care of!

Great range. Bridgestone range balls regularly replaced. Balls are self-serve via vending machine payable via card or cash (exact dollar amount) Both Turf and Grass tees available (grass tees pretty decent condition, considering it's a public range) Clearly marked distance markers. They even have a constant live video feed of their range, in case you're worried about it being too busy. 7am-9:30pm every day. Not sure when he sleeps, but Jim is the best!

What a beautiful spot well maintained spotless grass or Turf the grass tees were awesome. I wanted to play out of the bunker and do some putting unfortunately the weather took a bad turn and we did not get the full experience. For a new golfer the perfect spot to work on all Aspects of your game. drive Chip and put... we will definitely Visit again and again...

This is the perfect place to go hit balls after work or dinner! Everyone is so nice and respectful and the lights at night are awesome. If you're there late enough you even get to see the picker and his right hand man, the cutest golden retriever puppy ever!

After 30 years of trying to learn how to play golf on my own, I went for my first lesson yesterday. Great experience and instruction from Jim. I still have a lot of work, but there is hope! Great value for an hour lesson. Highly recommend

Large driving range with grass and turf driving stations. I got the large bucket with 120 balls and was able to borrow clubs. Low key and peaceful spot for practicing your swing. They also had putting practice area which was a nice touch.

A but if a drive from downtown ATL but it's worth it. Affordable prices, free practice clubs and easy self service

Great self serve driving range with both turf and grass spots to hit off of, gets packed so check the websites camera before going.

Owner is an old rude guy. Perfect stereotype for the old crusty mean pro shop guy at your local muni course. Must be going through some personal stuff. Many of my golf league buddies don't come here anymore. Range is decent but not worth the low class staff

Hands down the best practice facility in the city. Great range area with nice mats tees on one side and grass on the other. Putting and chipping greens and practice bunker. New Wilson balls and yardage to targets adjusted when the tees are moved up or back. Great prices on range balls and cooler where you can purchase drinks and snacks. Always clean and well maintained with friendly staff. What's not to like about this range?

What a great local spot! Holy cow! Do you like golf, no, love it? Are you in need of a solid practice facility to work on all aspects of your game? Then this is the place! Prices are great! Tons of spots to hit from mats or beautiful Bermuda grass. They have tons of yardage markers, always a complaint for me at most other places that don't have enough. They just put in a new putting green by the chipping green. And wow, it's tough, but in a good way. If you can drain putts here, you'll be whooping your friends out in the courses. Be mindful to treat this place with respect. Don't chip or mark up the new putting green. The staff works super hard to keep it perfect for everyone.

I'd have given this place 10 stars if Yelp allowed. I agree with all of the other great reviews here about the facility, but it is really the owner and instructor, Jim Cropper - very respectable, and yet approachable, making this place welcoming and outstanding. My husband and I had been looking for a golf instructor for a long time. I reached out to Jim after reading the reviews about the facility - what really prompted me to reach out to him was how he responded to a less than positive review here on yelp, with class, and that's really how Jim is in person. Jim was very accommodating and offered a group class for the two of us only, at a very affordable rate; extremely patient and scheduling is easy and flexible. I strongly recommend Jim and Deer Valley Golf Range.

Beautiful driving range located in Alpharetta/Roswell area. Within the nearby area, this is the best practice facility. I used to be member with club corp clubs, paying good amount each month. The facilities weren't even as good as this one here. Plenty of spaces in between stations, so you don't feel cramped up in here. They offer grass tee and mats section. I was very impressed by the mats here, it is nice. I have been to some clubs where the mats feel more like floor. They open late, so even if you get off work late, can still come here to practice. Going to get lesson by the pro on site today. Looking forward to come here more often.

I'm not a golfer, so my view on ranges are not on an expert level. Parking - They have a pretty decently sized lot. We came here on a beautiful Saturday evening and not many folks were there. I can imagine the lot does get full during nice Fall/Spring weather. Perhaps carpool on those days. There are some clubs that folks can use for free. These clubs are average. But.... if you're a real golfer, I'm sure you'll have your own, haha. People like me who are totally clueless about golf would probably use the range's clubs. It's cool that they have a rack of them. There are machines to buy golf balls... normal for a range. Also, there are 3 different areas for golfing. Each side of the parking lot + a small area to putt. Near the grass golfing area, there is a bunker area as well. Very cool to see!! Definitely worth checking out and if you're in the mood to practice.

What an excellent place to go to get some swings in. There are plenty of yardage markers. The boxes are in great shape. They just refinished one putting green and in the process of doing the other. The one that is already done is in EXCELLENT condition. You can tell they take pride in this range, and I really respect and appreciate that.

My first lesson was great! Jim is very knowledgeable, professional, and friendly! I felt very comfortable and enjoyed learning from him. One lesson already improved my swing a lot. He really know how to help you get better and make it easy to understand. I totally recommend. This place is clean, convenient and comfortable. Live camera is nice to have!

Brand new range balls, range is kept up very nicely, putting green is extremely smooth. Being new to the area I've tried several places and this is my go to practice spot now. Great job to the owners. See y'all tomorrow!

Golf in itself is a social distance sport. Lots of walking in the woods. This place will help you stay in the sun (faraway). Swing away

We started out at work talking about something to go do nearby after work and I mentioned this place. I had never been but lived in and around Roswell for 20 years so I had seen it a number of times driving by it. I am SO glad we came here, we will be back and you should do yourself a favor and stop by. By far one of the better ranges I have visited. It's beautiful, extremely clean and well kept and the owner is a really nice guy. When you arrive, you are removed from the hustle and bustle of the traffic and busy area between Roswell and Norcross. Because it is down in a valley setting, you hear no traffic. When you go to get your bucket of balls, you will notice that there is a cooler with snacks and drinks. There was nobody on site when I arrived so I looked closer and noticed that it is all on the honor system. Pretty cool. I went to get my bucket of balls and when you do yours, BE SURE to put the bucket under the drop before paying. They come out very fast. :) The range is awesome. Not beat up with a lot of divets. There are a few chairs and cleaning stations around. We brought a cooler with a few beers and had an awesome time. Since my game needs a LOT off work, I can see me practicing here quite often. While I did not get the chance this time, they also have bunkers and a nice green to putt on. I need practice there too! lol Do yourself a favor and check this place out. I can't wait until the weather is cooler and will be out there at lunch! Just don't laugh at me and my Charles Barkley swing!

This is an exceptional range with an exceptional owner/instructor. Jim was very patient and knowledgeable, and identified key areas of my swing that needed improvement. He offers a very affordable rate and scheduling is easy. I highly recommend you give it a shot, I certainly will be returning.

Best lesson rates in Atlanta. $50 per hour with discounts on multi-lesson packages. Frequent specials. Jim can really help you smooth out your swing.

This driving range is awesome. The grass is kept up and worn patches are promptly seeded and fixed. Love the actual deer off in the distance that do not mind the balls flying around.

Very rude staff that showed utter disrespect to my family throughout the night. The owner showed extremely low class towards us.
