Players Club Golf

Great place to learn golf and get hands-​on instruction. Very friendly staff and the owner, Dan, went out of his way to make me feel comfortable as a beginner in golfing. Not only do I get help on my swing, but the simulators give you instant data and feedback to provide you more insight on how to tweak your swing. The place was clean, had drinks if you wanted to relax and many other amenities of a ‘club house’. A hidden gem if there ever was one. Looking forward to more visits.

Fantastic place, Serious resource to work on your game. Great folks.
Dan the owner did something good. 3 ‘bins’ with virtual golf simulators. Use the range setting, chip and putt setting, or play Pebble Beach or up to 60 other courses. Some virtual tourneys too. Visual ball tracking and digital read-​out: total distance, CARRY distance, ball speed (but not club speed), distance left or right, launch angle. Both averages and individual. Great to dial in club distance, and ball flight. (My ball actually carries a little further outdoors than what they sim’s say. But the ratio and knowledge of distance between each club is crucial. And, most people tell their friends — or anyone who will listen — how far they can hit a club: the absolute farthest they’ve ever hit it with a great roll-​out with possibly a little tailwind. Haha! More helpful to know that your Tin Cup 190 yard 7-​iron only *carries* 149 on average, so if the course’s carry is 160 over the lake, you might better consider taking your 6-​iron).
$ 99 fee to join. Then $ 25 per hour as hourly member. Or $ 145 as monthly: unlimited play, and use of gym.
Lessons available for additional price: Casey is great. Shout out’s to Dan the owner, and Bobby and Gavin, all excellent to outstanding golfers themselves, who can offer tips, check lie angles on your clubs, maybe play a few virtual holes of skins. Two TV screens, refrigerator for whatever, PGA tourney banter. Nice.
Again, great cool place. All westside golfers should come once or twice to check out their swing and club stats a few times a year, or join in and really work on your game/​hang out.

This place is fantastic! I’ve played golf seriously for three decades, and I’ve found PCG to be one of the most effective ways for me to work on my swing. At a lot of outdoor ranges, especially at a bustling place like Rancho, it’s easy to fall into the trap of mindlessly banging balls. When I’m at PCG, I have much more focus, I do the drills I need to be doing, and I see the improvement in my ball striking. On top of that, you get great feedback that you can’t get outdoors, including ball speed, launch angle, etc. I repeatedly see the results outdoors and on the course after I’ve spent a couple of hours at PCG,
This is also a great place to meet people who share a love for the game, and who are happy to help out if you’re struggling. A couple of weeks ago, my swing was feeling out of sorts. The owner of PCG, Dan, spent a lot of time with me and gave me several great tips. He immediately got me on the right track, and I’ve been striping it since.
Whether a beginner or a single handicapper, you should definitely stop by and give this a try.

Simply stated, PCG is the best place to practice your golf game. I know, people say simulator golf is not «real golf’, but if you love golf and want to focus on getting better, stop going to the driving range, where you hit crappy low compression range balls, and get real data feedback on your swing (ball speed, trajectory, exact distances, etc.) using the same golf ball that you normally use during a round of golf.
Over that past year, I have cut at least 10 strokes off my outdoor game and I am improving every day. Yes, I hit a lot of golf balls, but it is also due to the friendly instructors who are available to talk to you about my game and offer sound advise when necessary.
Another great feature is the full gym. Why pay those monthly gym memberships fees when you can get that at Players Club Golf, along with the added benefit of being able to improve your game of golf.

Such an amazing place to practice golf. I can’t recommend this place enough for the person who can’t afford the six-​figure country club in West LA, but is sick of waiting 30 minutes for an upper-​deck stall at Rancho Park to hit a bucket of balls.
I bought a Groupon here a while back, and after seeing my scores on a «real» golf course plummet I decided to sign up for a monthly membership. I told a couple of my golfing buddies that I had been playing indoor golf and they scoffed — until I kicked their butts that weekend at Torrey Pines.
The only thing that takes a bit to get used to is the putting, but that will help your game too.
Five stars isn’t enough. Did I mention I love this place?

I dont like golf, but i went there 2 times with my bf and his fds. I really like the place. Staffs there are very nice, and helpful, location is very quiet and not too upscale that makes you feel like i m a golf outsider. They talk with you and help you like a friend. I had a great experience there. Its a good indoor golf place. I will go back soon!

Simply stated, PCG is the best place to practice your golf game and improve your scoring. I personally have cut around 15 – 20 strokes off my game in ONE year. That is not an exaggeration, it’s due to practicing at PCG. There are always friendly instructors on hand to talk about the game and your swing, if you want.
If you love golf and just want to focus on getting better, stop going to the driving range and get real data feedback on your swing. By data I mean stats on your trajectory, exact distances on your wedges for 100 yards and in, etc.
PCG is also a great place to get a workout in. They have free weights, machines and also a treadmill, stationary bike and an elliptical. So you can get in shape and play better golf… all at the same place. Enjoy golf more. Check out PCG. You won’t be disappointed.

I have been here 2 times now, and I just joined up.
Friendly staff, laid back vibe.
Great way to practice, play a round with friends when you get out of work.

This place is awesome.
I know, simulator golf is not «real» golf. It’s not the same thing. I get it. Once you understand that it’s not trying to be the exact same thing, then you will really appreciate how amazing it really is.
It is absolutely true that the from a purely golfing standpoint, the golf simulator is not nearly as perfect as an actual round of golf. Obviously. However, you use real clubs and hit real balls. The ball passes through two sensors and into a screen. The ball flight pattern/​distance/​roll/​etc is extremely accurate and reflects exactly how well you hit the ball.
From my experience using the simulators at PCG for the past year, I can offer a list of unbiased positives and negatives as compared to real golf which will make using the simulator that much more enjoyable since you will know what to expect (and what not to expect). I don’t want to sound like I am overly defending or trying to oversell the simulators, but I want to give my views on it.
Negatives:
–you are inside on a beautiful day
–you always have a perfect lie
–no reading of the greens (screen shows you an arrow of the exact ball path required to hole the putt)
–all putts less than 6′ are gimmies since that is the distance to the sensors
–short game in general takes getting used to
–sand trap is nothing like real life (I have tried to exhaustion hitting a «real» splash sand shot, but it never works. you pretty much have to chip/​pitch from the «sand»)
Positives:
–I can play 18 holes in a little over an hour (will take longer with more people) as opposed to 4 – 6 hours
–I can play after dark
–no frustration or time wasted searching for your ball or losing balls
–more convenient tee times and more flexibility regarding pushing it back if necessary
–putting is actually quite difficult and makes up for the «always perfect lie» phenomenon
–you get exact distances of how far you hit each club and how far to the hole
–ball flight is very accurate and reflects backspin and sidespin
–comfy couches to relax on and watch others hit
–TV’s to watch sporting events
Of course, using the simulators to practice offers even more benefits than simply playing 18 holes. It’s nice to know exactly how far I hit each club.
Anyway, the appeal of the simulators for me comes down to convenience and ability to practice. Rather than fight traffic, crowds, and overcharging at Rancho Park, I can head down to the simulator and hit balls until I am exhausted. Or instead of searching online for an inconvenient tee time and driving 45 minutes to play a round that takes all afternoon, I can book and play 18 during a break in the day or after work. Also, I can hit a handful of balls with any given club and get actual distances instead of guessing how far I hit them at the range. This adds confidence to my club selection and overall game. Yes, there are some aspects of the game that I can’t work on in the simulators (uneven lies, bunker play, reading greens). But in all seriousness, the vast majority of golfers should be working on striking the ball purely or hitting your distances instead of the finer points of flopping a shot from the rough with a downhill lie or something like that. The monthly cost works out to about how much I was spending on golf anyway.
The owner, Dan, is a really nice guy and always makes you feel welcome. There’s exercise equipment to work out when you want (though it’s hard for me to resist playing golf instead). The pro, Sam, is a wealth of knowledge about the golf swing. The next time you see him, ask him about «the move» (it’s a swing motion, not something to be tried on your date at the movies).
Finally, I don’t want to sound like a used car salesman, but when I joined I had just started playing golf four months prior, didn’t have a handicap, and routinely shot 115+ with plenty of mulligans. My handicap is now ~13 and I just shot an honest 88 last week. Golf is all about practice, practice, practice, and the simulators simply gave me that opportunity.
I highly recommend Players Club Golf.
