Aqua Golf Range Pro Shop & Learning Center

I am a huge fan of aqua golf. Yes it’s a «Something about Mary» course. Yes its right off 95. And yeah sure it’s fun to blast balls into water instead of a sketchy fairway.
But what makes this place a great place just to hang out is the overt peacefulness of it. It’s a covered area so no matter the time of year its not too hot. The couple guys that run the place are as old school as you would want, grabbing a bear for Ya when you like and having all the buckets ready when you want.
The one of wine glasses they have give another facet to chillin by the lake and working on your shot as well.
If I lived closer I may stop in every other week to grab a beer, shoot the smack and hit a few balls in to the lake.
For now I’m glad to make it down whenever I can make it down to Hallandale west.

What a dump. I asked the owner for a band-​aid and he wanted to sell me a full box. We paid for 2 hours of lessons. He takes cheap to a new level.

If I could give this zero stars I would because of how trashy and unprofessional the management is at this place. I used a groupon for a lesson here and they informed me that I had to pay for all the balls used during the lesson after I had already payed for the lesson. The golf instructor was a very nice but also should’ve been retired because he clearly had mild Alzheimer’s and could barely see. When he stepped away for a few minutes he forgot who I was even when I was standing in front of him. When I went to bring in my basket the management specifically told me that I should tip the instructor at least $ 10 because they only pay him $ 7 for the lesson. I decided to leave without tipping the instructor since I had already spent way more than expected but on the way home the management actually had the audacity to call me and tell me to come back to give a tip to his daughter so they would pass it to him. They obviously take advantage of the poor old man by having him teach at his age for $ 7 a lesson so I figured if I went back that money would never even get to the instructor. I’ve never seen this level of unprofessionalism at any golf range and I will never be back. Hopefully anyone considering going here sees this first and changes their mind immediately!

First time I’ve been to Aqua Golf. Found myself here after another range closed early for maintenance. The place is ok, not superb, not mind blowing, and, after foolishly buying the $ 10 bucket, I decided my $‘s had not been well spent. First, you don’t hit off grass (same as many ranges); you hit off a pad, which I don’t particularly like, but is about the only option I’ve found in the area. Reason I don’t like hitting off a pad, when they get worn out it more resembles hitting off a trampoline than grass. The pads I found at Aqua Golf had seen better days (granted I didn’t see all the pads). Probably bought with the proceeds from when that movie scene was filmed there so many years ago. Second, the novelty of hitting balls into the water, while fun, interesting and uncommon (I’ve not seen this too many places elsewhere; but maybe I need to get out more?) it does create a very heavy, waterlogged ball that does not exactly fly or pop off the face of the club, and even less so than most range balls. Third, lighting. Unless you’re under the main awning you don’t get too much of it; understandable as there are residences close by; daytime duffers need not worry (but you do face west… into Florida sun). Now, had I spent $ 8 instead of $ 10, known the pads were worn out, and been out with a friend or two on a mission to goof off rather than attempting to work on my game; I would have felt I got my $‘s worth. To relax, have a bit of fun, and kick back with a cold one while your friend tries to splash down on the «green», go for it, but I suggest leaving real «work on my game» to a place with newer pads, GRASS preferably, and non-​waterlogged balls.
Side notes: plenty of stuff to buy, a refrigerator full of cold refreshments (for kids and adults), and the guy running the register was very nice, and pointing out the movie reference was second mention behind how many years this place has been around.

I love golfing here! Something about Mary Indeed super relaxing. Great customer service!

If you are into golf and looking for a driving range in the area, this place is different from most. Their golf balls float and you hit them into a large lake which makes it more like real golf. It is most famous for being where a scene was filmed for «Something About Mary».
