Poppy Ridge Driving Range features 1 full acre (1.25 acres) of natural grass hitting areas with top-quality TaylorMade range balls and multiple targets. The practice facilities also include a pitching green with a bunker, a 6,000 sq ft chipping green, and three putting greens totaling 17,000 sq ft—one for each nine holes.​

The Driving Range is attached to Poppy Ridge Golf Course, a public golf course located in Livermore, California, nestled in the scenic Livermore Valley wine country.

Pricing: Poppy Ridge uses a range card system rather than traditional bucket pricing:

• $80 card = $105 value

• $125 card = $175 value

• $180 card = $275 value​

According to Reddit users, large buckets (90 balls) cost approximately $7 each when using the range card system, and Poppy Ridge Club members can earn points toward free range cards.

Range Ball Purchase and Dispensing Process

Step-by-Step Process:

1. Park and enter the clubhouse – Golfers arrive at the main clubhouse facility

2. Visit the pro shop – The pro shop is open daily 7 AM-5 PM​

3. Purchase range card – Buy a range card at the pro shop ($80, $125, or $180 options)​

4. Walk to driving range – The range is located behind the pro shop​

5. Access ball dispenser – Use the range card at the ball dispenser (specific machine details not publicly documented)

6. Proceed to hitting stations – Walk to the natural grass hitting areas

Dispensing Method: Range cards are used at ball dispensers (not tokens or tickets). The pro shop sells the range cards, and golfers then use these cards at dispensers on the range. The exact mechanism (barcode, magnetic strip, etc.) is not specified in available sources.​

Walking Path: Golfers walk from the parking area → clubhouse/pro shop → behind pro shop → driving range area (1 acre natural grass) → ball dispenser → hitting stations.
