Vibe Notes: Scenic and peaceful. Reviewers note the ‘lush wildlife,’ redwood setting, and creek running through the course. It’s described as a ‘shotmaker’s course’ rewarding accuracy. The ‘Canyon Vibes Concert Series’ adds a fun community element. Some reviewers note the range machine occasionally gets stuck. One reviewer said staff (Tera) was ’10 stars.’ Can get soggy after rain.

Your First Visit (Step-by-Step)

Parking
1) Entrance: As you drive along Redwood Road, look for the main entrance gate marked for the golf course (formerly Willow Park). 2) Parking Lot: Follow the entry road directly into the main surface lot. -Proximity: The lot is located immediately adjacent to the Clubhouse and Pro Shop. -Accessibility: There are designated wheelchair-accessible parking spaces available near the entrance. 3) Accessing the Range: Once parked, head toward the Clubhouse to check in at the Pro Shop. The driving range is located just a short walk from the main parking and cart staging area.
1) Enter the Pro Shop: Head to the Redwood Canyon Pro Shop, located inside the main clubhouse building directly adjacent to the parking lot. 2) Request a Bucket: Inform the staff at the counter that you would like a bucket for the driving range. You can choose from three sizes: small, medium, large. 3) Complete Payment: The Pro Shop accepts credit cards, debit cards, and NFC mobile payments (like Apple Pay). It is not a cash-only facility. 4) Receive a Receipt/Token: The staff will provide you with a code or token to use at the automated ball dispenser. 5) Dispense Your Balls: Exit the Pro Shop and walk a short distance to the ball machine located near the range entrance.

staff
1) Locate the Range: The water driving range is situated directly next to the clubhouse and cart staging area. 2) Choose an Open Stall: The range consists of a line of hitting bays with artificial turf mats. You can choose any unoccupied stall. 3) Setup: Each bay typically features a green mat, a net, and a stand for your golf clubs 4) Position Yourself: Stand on the mat so you are facing the water. Note: Because this is a water range, you will be using specialized limited-flight floating balls provided in your bucket.
