Woody's Golf Range - (703) 430-8337

Went to Woody's for the first time today. Hit a jumbo bucket of balls @120 for $12. Woody has all the things l want in a driving range to practice golfing. They are as follow: * Distance marker - not flags but signs with number of yards indicated. * Targets that you can try to hit - like trying to land your ball on the green * Level Range - many driving ranges have you hit down a ravine - that doesn't replicate a fairway. The range shouldn't be much higher or lower than where you tee off. * Good balls - since the last review they must have gotten new balls and matts.

The driving range is horrible. Poor balls and matts. There is a grass area but they charge double for it and it isn't very good. you can't see your ball on most of the landing area. Their minigolf is rated high by newsweek, but its mostly for the theatrics (which are great). the putts are simple, there are many far more challenging minigolf courses around.

I had my kid's birthday party at Woody's miniature golf and one of the kids was struck on the head by a ball from the driving range. His injury was SERIOUS!!! The management was unapologetic and said it had never happened before but two workers there said that this has happened and that they don't want to put higher nets up because of the cost.
