The Leadbetter Golf Center & Academy of Central Texas

Employee William R gives Leadbetter a bad name!!!
I originally gave Leadbetter a review with a couple stars, mainly because (1) I would have liked to see some smaller bucket options since it’s hard to hit $ 15 worth of balls in 100 degree weather in one sitting, and (2) it’s a little misleading to have a «Daily Fee» that is not good for the day (like TaylorMade Golf Experience in Vegas for example) but only one session.
Response from William R at Leadbetter:
«I went to an all you can eat chinese buffet for lunch and they wouldn’t let me come back for dinner. Crazy! I remember you coming in and asking several questions, most of them stupid. Although I believe there are no stupid questions, just stupid people. You are the deceitful one, asking if you can send friends and get a bird dog fee.»
Sending friends for a bird dog fee? THAT WAS NOT ME. Embarrassing for him. I replied letting him know he got the wrong guy, but good to know others also thought «Daily Fee» was a little misleading.
Next response from William R:
«Oh no! We don’t like losers or cry babies at our facility anyway. Maybe you should have approached management before you wrote your ignorant review. You also stated there are no other options and there are several. The best one for you is to never return to the facility.»
Speechless! SO RUDE and to the wrong guy even! For the record, there are no pricing options for smaller buckets like I wrote…

Best driving range in Austin! $ 15 gets your as many balls you want to hit. Definitely a great place to get in some practice swings. They also sell beers that they will put on ice. Awesome!

Pros: good value, putting, chipping, pitching, long game areas, level grass tees
Cons: so so ball quality, very hard tee ground– hard to tee up the ball, no water except in clubhouse, putting green somewhat bumpy

I always enjoy my time here. Plenty of space to practice, offers areas to work on a aspects of your game, the private lessons was a fun time, useful, and definitely made a positive impact on my swing and game, and the prices are fair. Even more so when using one of their many discounts or packages. I highly recommend this for anyone trying to better their golf game.

THE absolute best driving range in the Austin metro. BEST bang for the buck. Excellent staff, great environment and $ 15 bucks all you can hit all day — c’mon it doesn’t get any better than that!

This is the best place in the state for lessons and practice. After working on your game you can relax on the patio and have a cold one, watch your favorite sports, or play some Golden Tee Live. Staff is always friendly and helpful.

This place is coming right along they are laying down grass for the winter they have all new balls and now they’re even putting a new covered patio I’ll keep going back here
