Coronado Golf Course & Lighted Driving Range

The owner… Tim I think, very nice guy! Recently moved to Scottsdale… most reasonable prices I have seen for a driving range! Will definitely become a regular.

Nice driving range. Didn’t play golf there, just used driving range. Fun targets to hit at. Makes it fun to hear you hit your target. Large bucket reasonably priced. Friendly employee.

I really like the driving range. Reasonable price and it’s lighted at night. They have happy hour when balls are cheaper and they sell beer. Nothing is better than beer and golf! The people in the store are all really nice too.

Let me break down my stars… I give the driving range 4 stars for its good grass, friendly staff, lights, and a good pro shop. This is the only reason you should go to Coronado. If you want to actually play golf, don’t go here. Of course it’s super cheap, but that doesn’t make up for dirt fairways, bumpy greens, and driving range balls on half of the holes. Don’t play the course, just hit at the nice range

This has been the only range I have used for the last 5 years. Being in old town and lighted, with cold beer and a great happy hour.
The golf course is terrible. That’s not why people go there.
Recently, I stopped by to hit a few to find out they don’t accept cards… Cash only. Hold on its 2015 and they don’t have an ATM on the property. At least buy one to make money off of it!
Stupid. Just increase your fees to supplement for the transaction cost.
Continental here I come.,

So, I KNOW a quality golf course when I see one and if you’re looking for a snotty country club feeling (Princess, Phoenician, Biltmore, Talking Stick etc), this is NOT your place.
The course itself leaves a lot to be desired. That said, for a 9 hole executive course that you can play quickly for less than $ 20, there’s nothing «wrong» with Coronado.
The practice facility is actually great. Putting green, chipping green and a driving range with lights that is open until 9pm… its legit for a great practice session after the sun goes down for those who don’t want to feel like they’re golfing on the surface of the sun.
The staff is friendly, the facility is usually in pretty good shape and it’s a low cost option… win win win.
Only real negative: they only accept cash.

Night golf range in Scottsdale? Yup. If your a golfer looking for a place to hit balls after work but can never make it in time before it gets dark, then this is your answer.
They stopped taking credit or debit cards recently so plan on bringing cash and the do not have an ATM. Of course, I asked why this was the case one day and the response was «the owner hates how much credit card and ATM services charge.» Haha. Immediately, I thought of an old guy on his porch drinking and ranting about the good old days. Yelling, what’s the deal with this webernet nonsense!
I’m an avid golfer and could not give this 5 stars for the aforementioned reason. However, if your a golfer with a love for the game then you will surely overlook this nonsense and enjoy the fact that your hitting balls on real grass at night.

This place is quite honestly ugly but it is a golf course this is cheap and easy to get a walk in tee time, even during February and March. The staff is very, very friendly. It is also cash only.
The course is easy and fun to walk for a hack golfer like myself. Hole 3 is the only hole that presents much of a challenge. But it is a par 31 9-​hole course.

They also have a lighted driving range and it is $ 1 off buckets from 4 – 8.
Bottom line– you can’t beat the value, availability and friendly staff, just realize this isn’t a Troon golf course.

Fantastic! Can’t beat it for the money!

The two-​star review is simply because of the driving range. Other than that, this place is pretty crummy and broken down. The «pro shop» has merchandise sitting out that literally has dust piling on top of it and the course itself… well, you can read other reviews about how crappy of a condition it is in all the time. No clear cart paths, terribly maintained fairways, greens, and tee boxes yada, yada, yada.
Now, if you want a place to cheaply work on your game then Coronado will do the trick. The best part about the range is that it stays open until 9pm while the lights are on. They also have a putting green and chipping green for your short game. Not too shabby. Lastly, they promote happy hour with cheap prices on drinks and baskets of balls.
Come for the driving range, don’t come for anything else. I really wish they’d put some money back into Coronado, it’d be a fun track for beginners or kids if it was properly maintained.

Review is for the driving range. This place is a smaller, grass range that has many divets in it due to the grass and people hitting the ground. Otherwise, there are big tin rounds and a little green on the range for aiming. I love the clunk the tins make you hit them! There also are lights here but they aren’t that strong. I stayed until almost dark but you can’t see the ball for squat once the sun goes down. Quiet range located in Scottsdale.

Great course for beginners. It’s not anything special and isn’t kept up very well, but it’s a good place to practice and a great course to walk.

Coronado is probably the crummiest golf course in a 100 mile radius. That being said, it’s not all bad. I frequent the place to cheaply work on my game. Here comes the pros & cons… fore!
The driving range is open until 9:00pm. Other than CrackerJax (which is 15 miles up the road) I don’t know of any range that is open past sunset. Long day at work? Need to work on your game? Coronado is ready and waiting to help. Chipping green and putting green are separate. Being able to work on all facets of your game past sundown is a big reason I visit.
I don’t visit for the course itself. Cart paths don’t exist and sometimes you feel yourself Dukes of Hazzard-​info around the links. Fairways on the par 4’s don’t exist either. Somewhat decent course to get your iron work in off the tee, but that’s pretty much it. Greens are more weathered than a Tucson bum.
Not the best place to golf but thankfully they know it. They don’t charge you too much to play in the desert of Coronado.

Not only does this place look like a bit of a dump, it smells like one too. I don’t know what ungodly aroma smacked me when I teed up at the first hole, but it popped back up at any hole with close proximity to water. You get used to it if you can fight the initial urge to run to your car. Maybe you’ll get lucky and the stench will have subsided by the time you play.
Fairways: dead grass (but you drive will roll for a mile, so it’s cool).
Despite the smell and overall substandard condition of the course it was pretty fun. Mostly par 3s with a few shorter par 4s. The greens and the grass around the greens were in fine shape. It’s a good cheap course to walk and the people playing are cool and laid back. You won’t have to worry about running into those knobs who dress like PGA tour pros and strike a pose at the finish of every shot.
The driving range is decent.
Book through GolfNow and you can get green fees for $ 4.00 (walking rate). If you just show up it’s $ 12 or $ 13. Believe it or not, that’s too much dough for this place. I accidentally booked the wrong day online and paid in advance, so I had to pay the $ 12 green fee and didn’t even get a refund for the wrongly booked time. My fault for not looking more closely, I guess.
This could be a really great 9-​hole course if it received just a little more love from the owners and staff.

I give Coronado 4 stars but others will probably give it 1. We played on a Sunday afternoon and walked right on with no tee time, PLUS. They were using temp tee boxes and greens so the course was kind of a joke. BUT it was perfect for a group of college kids like us or a great place to little kids learning to play. Reasonably priced for what you get. and Happy Hour in the clubhouse from 4 – 8 is the place to be.

Does its job, which is to be a super easy, no pressure place to screw around and learn the game. Nice driving range.

We came to Coronado during my brother’s bachelor party and it was exactly what we were looking for:
— $ 19 for 9 holes including cart: CHECK
— decent golf and plenty of availability: CHECK
— beer: CHECK, CHECK AND CHECK
Not much to say other than it’s a decent course, affordable and, yes, they have beer.

This place is great to hit the links for cheap. It is always fun to hit up Coronado for a twilight 9 in early summer. Course is on par with the fees but I still recommend it if you want to play on a budget.

I am biased as I live close by and was part of the movement a few years back to save this course from the City and Giants, but SO glad we prevailed! This community gem in the rough is an asset to the area — thanks to Mr Henry Gailbraith who first deeded this land to the City and then fought to protect the destruction of this course. I see grand parents with one and two generations down WALKING around this course — just hacking away and having a great time.
Over time this course will continue to improve and with it the areas around it.
The driving range is great too! Long live Coronado GC :-)

I must say that I am a fan of this place. I haven’t actually played the course yet sadly, just done the range. Dive bar golf course is a pretty accurate description from what I’ve seen so far and I DIG it. Any place that has metal buckets of beer in the pro shop is good in my books.
I must say when I pulled up I felt outclassed (there were some fancy-​ass cars in the lot) with my one lonely 1 wood, a bag of discount tees, and in some scruffy jeans. The mix of people really did surprise me though when i got out on the range. The guy in front of me was all kitted-​up, matching shoes, hat, bag, the whole nine yards. And he was swinging like a champ, and I hated him for it. Then a lady takes the slot behind mine and she is wearing overalls, a sports bra and has a beer in a koozy. This made me feel a little bit better until she started driving like Tiger. Point being, no matter how much you suck at golf (like me) this is a good place to go. Cheap buckets, cheap beer, close to my place. Definitely going back
