Reviews of Wedges 'N Woods Golf Academy (Golf)

Jessie Barritt

Wedges and woods is our favorite local driving range. Great location and good prices. Nice way to spend an afternoon or evening hitting off a bucket of balls.

Carolyn Ward

Turf on their mini put greens all need to be replaced. Nice to see a couple of new features ie. Swinging log

Jody Lynn Boyd

Awesome little driving range with good prices and friendly staff.

Melissa E

Can plan a full trip for family, friends or people in the big brother big sister program. They have a variety of golf things to do

Christopherkwatson W

took my son her mini golfing and to the driving range, super helpful staff and decent mini golf. The beverages we not to pricey.. All around nice experience!

Brad White

One of the better ranges in the region. 5 stars if the grass tees were level ground

Jon Stieglitz

Great putt putt courses at a reasonable prices.

Workman Family

Great place to smash some balls. Prices are right and facility is well kept. Staff is friendly and helpful.

Sam Meakin

I'm a single figure golfer and could not be happier to discover this driving range. The practice area here is great, full size bunker and green dedicated to chipping only, putting green in good condition too. I have 2 ranges closer but this is worth the drive!

JS Danyluk

Always a good time. Range buckets could be filled more. Mini golf could use some maintenance. Awesome putting green.

Good practice range. The grass is often cut to the length of rough, so hitting tee shots is pretty tough. However, there are lots of targets and the golf balls are okay range balls (one piece silicone, if I'm not mistaken), with usually 1/3 of the balls new for that season. In response to the owner's comments below: For starters I am very pleased with Wedges, hence why I have continued to go back for 3 years. The reason I did not mention either of these comments is because I did not feel it was necessary, nor a realistic or feasible request, but felt a prospective customer should be aware of. That said, the grass has always been longer at Wedges than other driving ranges, and I am not the only one to have noticed this. To be clear on another point, I have no concern over the golf balls, in fact they are much better than most places nearby. However, I have been to ranges where there are higher quality golf balls, typically seen at high end golf clubs or courses, but also places with far worse golf balls in much worse quality, like Whitcombe Bros or Cambridge Golf Club. Furthermore, when I took a sample today, I found my assessment to be accurate regarding the quantity of new balls, as about 1/3 looked new. I think the fact you replace over 1/3 of your balls every year is wonderful considering many places don't replace their balls for years. In regards to the length of the grass, I also believe this was an accurate assessment. Fairways are often cut to 0.5", whereas public courses rough is cut to 1-3", rarely do you see 4", and tee-decks are either similar or shorter than the fairways, depending on the course. For example, Cambridge (which I visited 1 week ago), cuts their range to the same length as the fairway, which is significantly shorter than Wedges. Again, I do not expect you to change the golf balls or the length of the grass, hence why I never mentioned it. That said, in comparison to some higher-end ranges I have been too, these were the two things I noticed the most. As a final note, I would recommend anyone to go to Wedges if they were looking to improve my game. 3 years ago I started as a 20+ handicap, today I am under a 10 handicap, spending most of my time learning at your facility, spending significant time and money there. Without Wedges, I would have not had such an accessible facility to practice at, making learning the game that much more time consuming. Thank you.

Mairsy Management

Always good. Need to remove the foam they put in the mini put cups or make it smaller/lower. Messes up the game

keo eldorado

Great place to practice your short game,friendly staffs price is fair since we used 2for1Coupon book lol

Erik vanKooy

So the putting course is definetly a good time with some friends, though some tee off spots are a little bit worn down. The mounds and hills are on purpose to make the holes a little more fun. The driving range is a nice little set up, nothing fancy but it works. Its a nice price the club rentals are cheap. My only issue is how close the driving plots are, there were a few times where a brand new golfer almost hit me with a bad hit on the ball. But if theres room then I would definetly recomend!

Greg Hammer

Great course, well kept with lots of shade tree,s.This course is no walk in the park though,pretty challenging.

Kate Cassidy

Friendly staff but they definitely need to renovate the course. Some holes are unplayable (eg. raised holes, really thick grass patches). They don’t give rain checks or refunds which doesn’t make sense especially if you pay full price to only play only a few holes. It might be a suggestion in the future to have some sort of theme to make it more interesting!

Alex D

You're welcome was very happy with the driving range being my first time hitting a golf ball in 10 years.

Morgan Warren

It's a nice place to go to practice driving and play a game or two of mini golf!

Niken Goswami

Mini Putt course was a little worn out.

nathaniel mcdonald

Only spot in town to hit stuff with stuff. Thank you.

Sean Romanelli

Very good range with a good short game/putting area

Sam Grolla

Top notch establishment ... The blonde girl at the desk is really nice

Merike Hess

Very affordable, especially on Tuesdays! Friendly staff and nice landscaping but the course itself was sort of simple and poor kept in some spots. Would totally come back though!

Stacy Cooper

Friendly staff, nice shaded 18 hole course. Wish the turf was better maintained, my only suggestion.

Herb Reiner

My son invited me to come here with him. I'd never hit a golf ball in my life. I really enjoyed it and have come back several times now. The staff is great and knowledgeable (especially for amateurs like me) The grounds are tidy, clean and well kept. It's a lot of fun!

Alex Boyd

I'm a golf noob and by extension have not become comfortable visiting courses and ranges but that upbeat staff at wedges and woods are always friendly and happy to greet me with a smile. whether it's the driving range or the mini-putt it's my favourite place to practice.

Solange

My family and I enjoy playing the 18 hole mini golf course. So much fun!

Josh

Mini golf course was in very rough shape. The Greens around the cups sloped away from the hole making it next to impossible to put the ball close, holes with bumps directly around them, rips and tears in the artificial green. It was clear that very very little to no maintenance was done on the facility. There was only one hole that had an obstacle on it other than the same old sand traps and it was a log pendulum. The staff was very happy and helpful, which was great upon arrival. It wouldn't take very much to make this course very nice. I think the owner stated that there's little to no money in the budget for maintaining the mini golf course. I'm sure bunch of free passes could be given to some people who volunteered to fix it up.

mick daniel

Little ruff shape but still fun

Jacquie Wood

Such a nicely kept mini putt course. There is nice tree to shade yourself if you are getting hot and the staff is also very nice!

Jaded Marxist

Great place if your looking for the driving range. Mini golf I'd pass on if ya can it's in dire need of some repair. The staff are awesome there.

Marko Antonio

Love the mini golf. Kids want to go everyday

Tanya Ramer

One of the better courses in the Region of Waterloo

C Connolly

Great practice facility I've been going there for years!

ania karishma

went for the first time with my family..good experience and was very fun but i think there are better mini putty places. very fun tho and had a wonderful night

Jamie C

Friendly staff and everything is always in great shape.

Bernie Donoghue

Balls are ok, grass is too long on the tees but nice staff and well maintained grounds make up for it.

James Maltby (DWEEBIX)

Great place. Very friendly people. Cheap buckets of balls. Needs more targets for the driving range and the putting portion is very bland and boring.

Ryan Tookey

Was fun with the kids. Mini golf greens are in pretty rough shape. Kids still had fun.

Laurence Parr

Excellent for the avid golfer to practice T shots and putting Also fun for the rest of the family in the mini golf.

Ben Vautour

????????

terry carney

Great activity to do outside for a couple hours. I wish i had thought of it ages ago!!

Jim Stirtzinger

The best tune-up place in Waterloo Region. Real grass driving range with well maintained chipping and putting greens.

Jennifer Lawrence

Enjoyed some mini putt...but the course itself could use a little updating...but the landscaping was quite lovely????????

Andy Bauman

Played mini golf here. Course is nicely shaded by well-kept gardens and trees. Course itself is worn with frustrating bumps and raised cups.

Adrian mcnamara

Great value and hard holes make it a longer visit than some others.

Mr Almost know it all

Fun place!!!

Shane Everest

Great driving range and practice facility. The academy is a perfect spot for a tune up and offers a few options for you to get your swings in. You get a choice of grass or turf and they do an excellent job maintaining the surfaces. They also have a chipping area, but not sure if you can putt. I'd assume so since they seem to have everything, but I cannot confirm. I just go to hit. Staff is friendly and easy to chat with. Prices are decent, but this place really is the only one around that offers all of this in one spot. I recommend! Also, check out The Golf Store down the road.

Amy Hodgkinson

It's just fun!

Jason Medeiros

Great place to work on the golf game

Adnan Khan (Match Point By Dr Adnan)

Very good, nice atmosphere, excellent service, good customer care. Went with kids. All sized clubs for miniature golf. Natural environment. Kids loved it. Did 18 holes. Kids have the tough time in points fight but dad remained the alone warrior. Hole number eight was very tough and difficult but overall golf made our day

Truthful Peach

Lots of space and a great place to practice

Larry Volchoff

Great driving range withers first class customer service!

Rakesh Jain

Carpet on Mini Golf needs repair and maintenance. Some of it might need replacement. Staff was friendly and attentive. We had a good time during our visit though.

Brad Miller

Ok but the greens are old.

Andrew White

Great driving range in the centre of the city. Good staff and plenty of room. Enjoyed the Chipping area as well. Also an area to practice your putting, though I didn’t try it out.

Johanna Balogh-Márton

We really enjoyed it. :)

Gordie Hanna

The driveway and (large) parking lot are gravel, but there is a paved walkway to the front entrance, which is accessibility friendly. There are some barriers such as stairs and non-automatic doors that could be a problem to some with mobility issues. The price was fair for what we got. You can pay with cash, debit or credit. We went for the mini golf and enjoyed our time. It isn't the greatest 18 hole course I've ever played because it's mostly just greens without specific themes or unique features. However, there are plenty of sand traps, hills, and bumps to navigate.

Ryan Green

Good distance, ok price, tee offs could be flatter

Ty Williams

I love this place, lots of targets, and the academy card is a great deal for those that hit the range frequently. It's also really clean, well maintained, and the staff is friendly Overall the best range I've found locally :)

Douglas Daymond

Friendly staff

Chris Murphy

Great price, great quality. The lady at the counter was excellent helping my son to change his clubs (numerous times).

Adam Cross

An excellent golf training facility right in the middle of town.

Kamran Fekri

Friendly staff and a good place to practice your swing.

Desh Sharma

Great and friendly staff and a really nice place to play some mini golf with the family. Haven't tried the driving range yet but it looks to be so much nicer than the other place in Waterloo. We will be back!

Kevin Orr

Fun place to spend time with friends

Max Salman

Mini Golf was ok, the course was in rough shape... They were all pretty similar with no real meaningful obstacles.

Rae

Kids loved it. Check out the coupons before going.

Duncan McDonald

Lots of hitting stations, both grass and mats. The mats are a little old and are probably ready to be replaced. Nice looking real grass putting green with gentle breaks - I haven't used it so can't comment on how good it is but they charge uo use it so I hope it's as good as it looks from the other side of the fence. Mini putt looks interesting but could also use some new turf.

Sheila Bellefeuille

Prices reasonable. Helpful staff. Great place to take a few lessons.

Eric J

I would put 3.5 to 4 stars as we were playing mini golf and some of the holes were not very well maintained. The staff is friendly and the prices are somewhat reasonable so it's a good local location for mini golf.

Melodie Sweet

Best driving range in town!

Jenny Hall

Great game of mini golf

Tait Kelly

Good mini putting but the course could use a little more upkeep

Revolution Hockey

Nice range...mini putting as well

Went to do the mini golf recently. Its a good course and fair price (especially on tuesdays), the course its self could use some maintenance though. Overall a good outting.

K. Thompson

Good place to perfect your swing.

Gerry Jackman

Great practice center

Sahil Israni

Martin Snead

Mini golf was a lot of fun. Well kept facilities.

Clark McMaster

Doesn't get any better, right in the middle of town.

Matthew Nolan

Friendly staff and well maintained grounds

Scott Bales

Nice open field. Lots of spots to drive a ball. Good for any skill range.

Steve Snook

My favorite place to practice and work on my golf game. Lots of targets at various yardages. The chipping/bunker area is great to work on short game and the putting green is always in good shape. The facility is also very nice. My kids love to play the mini putt course as well. Always fun to come here

Gary Kaleas

Great driving range with actual flags that let u know how far ur hitting

Phil Power

Had a great time - awesome staff

Kim Szigatti

Too expensive for the condition of the mini putt, but fun course nonetheless. Haven't been to the range in years, but it was ok too last I recall.

Augusta becker

it was decent driving range and the price wasnt too bad. also they 2 pads for off the mat or grass.

Eduardo mojica

Excellent place to enjoy with kids at the 18 hole mini ⛳

jeanmarc montfort

It's different kinds of food

Nick B

Quality location. Mats, grass, mini putt, putting green, short iron area, chipping green with bunker.... can buy buckets in bulk for cheaper also.

Heather C

Fun and easy going place! Love the plinko game at the end

Laverne Krahenbil

Could use a little upkeep and maintenance.

Jay Meyer

I didnt even know this place existed. I went for a large bucket and I will def be back. Shot off the grass it was great!

Tracy Morrison

We've been coming here for many years but this was the 1st time since 2018. At first the course looked the same, but the disappointment started on the first hole. It has significantly deteriorated, to the point of not being enjoyable at all. It is impossible to shoot a ball and have it go where you expect it to now. Instead of just the usual slopes and valleys and sandpits, every inch of the greens is ruined with small ripples, bumps and other signs of wear. It spoils the fun. The course is lovely and shady but the holes desperately need to be redone, for $8.50 per person

Shayna Dehaan

Very good for groups, and kids. Decent sized court, that has picnic tables and shade.

Brad Sankar

Friendly staff... well kept ...good experience

David Lee

Great place for range! Great discount for TMMC employees

Inde Zone

Good range..they also have mini Putt.

Douglas Culley

Great place to practice

Malcolm McAuley

Good spot for skill honing or a fun time with the family. Decent mini golf course and lots of space on the driving range.

Dylan Mccue

Mini golf was good worth the 8 bucks. Only 4 starts cause they got some outdoor bugs that might nibble you

Halton Taxpayor

Meets all expectations

Jackie Fisher

Walked in got bucket of balls.. quick service.. easy markings.. great fun.

Brittany Flieler

Nice place. We went for the mini putting. It was fun we won a free game for next time.

Eleanor Rigby

Top drawer mini put!

michelle loucks

Been hitting balls here for over 10 years love it

Dennis Rowe

As good as it gets..

Jeff Bryan

Good driving range with mats and grass and a fair value for the bucket size. The signs on the chipping green indicating it is a one shot chipping green should be a lot bigger.

Tanja C

Driving range is fine. Mini-putt is brutal. Evey year I hope they fix the broken "greens". Kids call it the boring mini putt place.

Scott Pearson

Review for Kylegolf (Golf lessons at Wedges and Woods). Kyle Deighan is an excellent golf teacher. Just try one lesson or buy a package and see for yourself (very low risk imo). His knowledge and approach to teaching the game is low pressure and confidence building. I have taken lessons from other golf pros and what a difference! Kyle actually lets you in on what's happening both with your game and what you need to do to get better. He can devise a plan if needed. No secrets, no bs. If you can't learn from this guy throw away your clubs lol.

aaron bartley

Best range in Cambridge, and a nice mini golf course too
