San Jose Muni is a really nice TopTracer driving range with 2 levels. The range itself is very wide and has multiple target flags at various distances. The tee mats are a little tired on the lower deck but its an opportunity to practice when your ball ends up in a bad lie on the course. One good thing is that the direction you hit balls into faces roughly north. So, no matter what time of day it is, you don't have the sun blinding you. Wind direction changes fairly often though. On any given day, if the wind is at your back, its an opportunity to hit loooooong tee shots with the driver which make you feel amazing. LOL. But when the wind blows into your face, it seems like all of your shots fall 20-40yds short. Give it a try if you're in that area. It doesn't disappoint.
Terrible condition on the course, too many bald patches, weed growing, greens are bumpu and bruised currently. Worst is the new employee at the pro shop, first name CARA (asian lady). She seems to be new on the job and in the industry most likely. As soon as we were up on the tee, she stepped out of the pro shop with a rangefinder, looked at the group ahead of us and told us "tee off, they are at 230". This bias from her was really upsetting, especially since miss Cara whatever had no business coming out of the pro shop from her desk and asking us to hit the group ahead of us....I am a 2 freaking handicap, I hit my drive only after that group cleared off. Ignored CARA completely and showed her how it is done by hitting a 275 yard dead straight shot from the gold tees. This terrible experience from the SJ muni staff member acting like a marshal and starter ruined our experience. Even the guys behind us said that she was out of line and had no business getting on the speaker telling us to tee off EVEN WHILE the group ahead of us was just 200 yards away. Such bias has no place at a muni nor anywhere. Cara needs to mind her business, and earn her pay behind the desk. If she is so interested in controlling the pace of play, become a marshal, lady...what a clown.
This review is for the driving range. It’s a range with two levels so can take a lot of people. It’s usually mostly full all the time but there is always a few spots available. The ball dispenser area is always a bit dirty and always have a bit of water flowing out from the back somewhere. The mat on each spot is a little worn out. There is no T available if you want to hit off of the T. They have a screen at each spot to help with your hitting and tracking of the ball which is awesome. The screen at some spots are not working so you have to find a a spot that is working.
Decent driving range, fully covered with a second level.
A typical municipal course, not much hazards, but a plain and simple layout. Luckily, the day I played here was a raining but sunny 🌞 afternoon, so pretty lovely 🌹 The blue sky and white clouds, just what you may need after a long week; remember to look to the right on your right hand side, when you hit your 2nd shot on Hole 18, the scene of the valley is unbeatable.
