Description
Los Lagos Golf Course offers one of the stronger public driving range setups in San Jose, especially for beginners who want a low-pressure place to practice with modern shot-tracking technology. The range is a two-tiered, lighted driving range with 42 stalls, mat hitting surfaces, and TopTracer Range technology, making it useful for both basic swing practice and more fun practice sessions with distance feedback, games, and virtual golf modes. The facility also has a putting green, lessons, club fitting support, a pro shop, and a restaurant, so it works well as a full beginner-friendly golf stop rather than just a bucket-of-balls range.

Your First Visit (Step-by-Step)
Parking
These are directory-style visitor instructions not an official published parking guide.
1. Navigate to 2995 Tuers Road, San Jose, CA 95121.
2. Enter the Los Lagos Golf Course property from Tuers Road.
3. Follow the main driveway toward the clubhouse / golf shop area.
4. Park in the main golf course parking lot near the clubhouse.
5. Bring your clubs, phone, wallet, and water with you before walking toward the golf shop / range area.
6. Look for signage for the Golf Shop, Driving Range, or Practice Facilities.
7. Because it is a public course with evening range hours, expect the lot to be busier after work and on weekends.
Buy Balls
Range balls can be purchased at the pro shop or at the dispenser machine next to the driving range.
1) Walk into the golf shop / pro shop first.
2) Tell the staff: “I’m just here for the driving range. Can I get a bucket of balls?”
3) Choose your bucket size: Small: 35 balls for $9 — Medium: 70 balls for $14 — Large: 100 balls for $17 (For a first visit, choose the medium bucket unless you only want a short warm-up).
4) Ask where to pick up the balls: “Do I take a receipt/token to the machine, or do I pick them up somewhere else?”
5) Take the bucket, token, receipt, or instructions from the shop and walk to the range/machine

Step-by-Step Instructions to Find the Driving Range and Pick a Bay
From the parking lot, walk toward the clubhouse / golf shop.
After buying balls or confirming the ball process, follow signs for the Driving Range or Practice Facilities.
1) Look for the two-tiered range structure with hitting stalls.
2) Choose an open stall. Since the range has 42 stalls, you can usually look for a bay with enough space around you rather than taking the first open one. For beginners, pick a ground-level bay if one is available and you feel more comfortable.
3) Place your bag behind or beside your hitting mat, out of the walking path.
4) Stand on the mat only when it is your turn to hit.
5) Aim downrange only. Never walk forward of the hitting line.
6) Start with wedges or short irons before driver.
7) If using TopTracer, follow the bay screen prompts, choose practice mode, and start with simple distance tracking before games.
8) When finished, leave the bay tidy and return any basket if required.
