A Complete Practice Facility

Having a full service practice facility is a golfer's dream. At the 9-Iron Practice Center we have natural grass for golfers who want the feel of hitting the turf and taking a divot. We have "grass pads" for the golfer who wants the feel of turf, but enjoys clean clubs and not taking a divot. Our hitting pads also have a covered area to get out of the weather. We also provide two sand traps and a natural grass pitching area that allows the true feel of an approach shot. Our putting green is of the highest grade of artificial surface that rolls true on each putt and helps improve your game. We also have an area to practice your "up-hill-lie" and your "down-hill-lie" because it is a major part of playing golf. You will enjoy our accurate distance markers and range targets to give a visual shot each time. And lastly our target greens allow everyone to make their approach from a par 3 and get the feel of landing it on the green.

THE BACK-9 CAFE
Not only will you love the practice facility, you will love the food at the Back-9 Cafe. We have the "best burger anywhere" and our cheese steak (and cheese chicken) are mouth watering delights. Want something interesting? Try our Jalapeno burger, our Italian Chicken, our Meatball sandwich or our Reuben sandwich. Want something simple? Try our grilled cheese, our grilled tuna or Peanut Butter and Jelly. Want something light? Try our spinach or green salads and mix them with a half sandwich. Our breakfasts are both tasty and inexpensive, so start early and have a hearty breakfast.
