Edgewater Golf Range

Reasonably priced. Great location. But dated. Came here to hit a couple of balls with the girlfriend. Credit Card machine was down when we went and noticed that all but one of the ball dispensers was out of order somewhat suggesting that their best days are behind them. Additionally all of the heating units for driving stalls seemed to be rusted out of order. Also, they don’t rent out drivers which I thought was bizarre for a driving range. Will likely be back in my lifetime but I’m in no rush.

I love coming here. Such a great location with very knowledgable and friendly workers

I wish I could give his place negative stars. I don’t really think it can be considered a mini golf course at this point. The painted concrete rocks had holes in them, there were no obstacles with the exception of a loop, and they didn’t even have a rubber starting pad to place your ball. My friends and I had to make up new rules for mini golf just to make this course fun. This was by far the worst mini golf course I’ve ever been to. Save your $ 7. This will only make you depressed.

I don’t actually golf but I do enjoy hitting up the driving range from time to time. There’s no need to spend tons of money at Chelsea Piers with the Edgewater range about 20 minutes away. The prices are fair, the views of the water are beautiful and you’ll never have to wait because of how much space there is.
At first I was nervous that we would have to wait because the entire range was filled but then I discovered that there is an entire upstairs area with plenty of space. I almost liked driving from the second floor better because I was able to get my tan on!
Buckets of balls varied in price depending on how many you wanted, but even at $ 15 dollars, the largest bucket was fair priced. Two of us ended up splitting the jumbo bucket and it was more than enough, actually way too many. I’d suggest splitting that with more unless you want to be there for hours. The large driving area is fenced in, but if it wasn’t you could hit out into the water. Well, my drives would never make it that far. But, hypothetically speaking, you can.
Spending some time at Edgewater driving range great way to get some physical activity while also taking in beautiful views of the river. Maybe if I get in enough practice I’ll make it on to an actual course. Dream big.

Went here to play mini-​golf with the missus, in spite of what I had read on Unilocal about it. What I found was not a mini golf course, but an abomination. My writing isn’t advanced enough to do justice to how terrible this place was, so if you feel like shelling out $ 7/​person for the worst mini-​golf of your life, you should go. Beware of the one and only obstacle on the 17^th hole, which appears to be a rusty stolen backhoe from a construction site. I’ll probably send my in-​laws here next time they’re in town.

Love This Place! I’ve always gone here to play some golf or mini golf with family. Need some work on mini golf course but lots of fun!

Just wanted to let everyone know that you should bring your clubs since this is the first range I’ve been to that doesn’t have a bunch of clubs for you to borrow. I had to pay and a deposit down for a club. Not sure what the righty situation is but they didn’t have any lefty drivers.

golf balls they have are so old that dimples are all gone. Be prepared to clean ur clubs since white paints come off from golf balls. i get better feel hitting plastic balls than these old rusty balls they carry. Cant believe this place is still open.

Have been going here for 3 years on weeknights and occasional weekends — yes it is short so its hard to work on your wood/​driver game but given they are range balls I wouldn’t completely trust the distance.
As for getting a stall, I think I have only waited for one on the weekends and have never hit off the upper deck…
Much cheaper than Chelsea Piers but you do get a view of NYC which is nice.

It’s an okay driving range. Prices are okay, but not the best in the area. 2 for 1 early bird special is a good deal. Staff, let’s just say they are there. Could get crowded on weekends, so may need to wait for an empty stall if you get there early afternoon. 2 levels, but only irons on 2^nd level. The range is short, around 200 yards. The place shows its age, the mates are bite tired looking, the turf is well beaten, and the balls old. The nets around the range are full of patches due to Hurricane Sandy from couple of years ago. At least you’re hitting towards the Hudson River with a nice view of the City.

Tee time against Hudson river is really great.
Its reasonable priced and they have discount offers. Its packed during the weekends.

Small (35 – 40 balls)-$ 7.00
Medium (70 – 80 balls)-$ 10.00
Large (110 – 120 balls)-$ 13.00
Jumbo (150 – 160 balls)-$ 15.00
’happy hour’ is 2 for 1.
I know a lot of people have been talking about the 2 for 1 special… during the week it’s 7−4pm it doesnt end at 11am like the weekends. so you can sleep in on your vacation day, then hit balls!
Mats are in great shape. Balls are old (see my picture of the old balls) (hehe). Pretty extensive golf shop. They have a $ 10 charge for demoing and i think its a 10 minute demo time limit… i understand they cant just let everyone demo, their clubs would turn into garbage, but 10 minutes is pretty short…
mini golf is 1* i think ive only been to one mini golf course that is worse. very frustrating to play on… greens are not flat and cups are raised… needs upkeep. will never do mini golf there again.
after golf head over to mitsuwa for some great japanese grocery shopping or food in the food court!!!
They do have a lot of pros that work there but are not affiliated with the driving range and therefore the front desk does not have much information on them.
They also have a simulator upstairs.
to give you a baseline on my driving range rating:
5* driving range has grass and is likely at a high end golf course (wide open, lush) and newer balls.
4* either poorly kept grass range or very nice mats, new balls, open/​natural
happy hour almost make me want to give them 4*s because its a great deal. Also very nice having the fans to keep you cool on hot days.

Passing GWB just to come here… Is an option but compared to Westchester County I wouldn’t trade mine. Incomparable to Westchester county driving range.
A 2 level range to practice… But they only have like 175 – 200 yards.
It was not crowded on a week day, it was sunny and humid but the fan was soo strong to help out. An early bird special I got 2 large bucket for the price of one.
The place seems old tho. Nothing changed from before. I used to come here often, instead it appeared worst. but it’s still decent to hit some balls. Well, I had a good time practicing my swing…
The cashier was friendly tho.

Inexpensive, convenient and never too crowded.

Buy one get one bucket free everyday between 7−11am. Conveniently located right next to Mitsuwa.
It’s a tad far if you live in manhattan, although you can take the shuttle for Mitsuwa. The place is decent but not comparable to Chelsea Piers.

It can be very crowded because of good location. Staffs are very friendly, but didn’t like the policy for upstairs which no driver or woods. 2^nd floor has better view and less crowded because of that policy. Maintained well, basket of balls are bit expensive. Landing area was too narrow. It’s good for novice golfers.

MINIGOLF
Went a few nights ago to try out their minigolf. Not worth it. It’s run-​down and boring with no functional obstacles. The greens are in pretty bad shape (a lot of unintentional bumps, worn out, etc). Not planning a return trip.

Small golf range with lots of slots and two tiers. Very busy though as it one of the only ones around here. You can use your driver on the top tier since i think its only about 175 — 200 yards. I have seen plenty of people sale a ball over the netting at max range or off to the sides at ground level. upstairs is always fun to practice your irons, alot easier to see everything and where your ball lands if your going for accuracy, if your going for distance stay on the first level.
Prices aren’t bad $ 15 bucks for a large, their pro shop is pretty good, picked up a nice cheap 6 iron replacement for $ 30 bucks on sale and it has severed me extremely well, even if it doesn’t match my other irons.
Its really the only game around here, its in a nice area with pretty nice views in the day.

GOOD PLACE TO KILL TIME when you get to Mitsuwa too early and you don’t want to buy groceries yet because then everything would start rotting and melting on a hot summer day.
Golf club rentals are $ 2 with a $ 5 deposit. Jumbo bucket of balls were about $ 15. There’s a mini golf on the side, but it looks so dingy. It should be enough to satisfy little kids.
Do I know how to play golf? No. I just stood there and attempted to hit the ball as far as possible while 2 of my friends were golfing like we were in a batting cage. Monkey see, monkey do… I just copied the pro’s next to me and wah-​la! My ball flew further.

Like your typical Northern NJ golfer, I get rusty in the off season. I usually sneak a round or two in either by having an unseasonably warm day in November or January or by taking a trip to Miami. Either way, the game struggles during the first couple rounds in the spring.
I’m a hoboken resident with limited options to practice since moving from Manhattan to NJ a few years ago. This place is an easy Hertz/​Zip Car away if I cannot find a ride with a friend. Chelsea Piers is way too far off of the beaten PATH on the weekend, so this place is ideal. A quick shot north, you can be there in 15 min.
It gets crowded, but rarely do I wait more than 5 – 10 min max for a stall. I always wait for the bottom because, let’s face it, the most fun at the range comes from smacking your driver 275 – 300 yards. You cannot hit the driver from the upper deck. I’m not sure the logic behind this. I guess because they could go into the Hudson River? I think Kramer used to do that in Seinfeld, and it harmed the ecosystem. Either way, I’ve never been upstairs.
A jumbo bucket at $ 15 is a little on the pricey side, but what isn’t in this neighborhood? You get 150 balls which is more than enough to work the kinks out of your less than perfect swing. I usually spend the last 30 or so chipping 40 – 50 yard shots to work on the touch game.
They have a serious pro shop with nice equipment that you can demo for free. This helped me when I purchased my Taylormade R11s. Trade in prices were not so good so I used Ebay instead.
Pros…location, large complex with many stalls, and good hours (open till 11pm)
Cons…little pricey, credit card machine closes at 9:30PM. It gets a little crowded.
