Birdie Club — Attraction in Los Angeles

If you are an avid golfer who practices often or someone who wants to learn how to golf, this place is it!!!

Let me tell you something. I've been golfing for maybe over 10 years and have been going to actual golf courses and ranges and have never been to screen golfing (really had no interest till I watched some YouTube videos). As such, make no mistake! I will not recommend this screen golf set if you want to have the breezing early morning fresh breath or golf with your friends/family over four hours for quality/gathering time. However! if you want to improve your swings/game/short game/driver, this place is it! I cannot testify to how accurate this screen golf system is as I am not an expert in that field. However, I knew for sure this screen golf system was deadly accurate and detailed once I swung a few swings. The results I saw from the screen would be the same shots I normally would get (unfortunately I still struggle with slice as I don't close my left shoulder). And of course, the distance I saw from the screen golf was similar to the distance I normally would get in the actual range or field.

Having said all of that, this golf screen place can be the gem in the busy West LA areas for golfers like me. I live in Sawtelle and my only option for the range is Rancho Park. I mean I could go to other ranges if I wanted to but considering the traffic and how much I had to wait from time to time, I started to go only to Rancho Park. However, there is no waiting line in the place, there are plenty of parking spots in the complex, no valet (thank god!), and easy access as well. Also, pricing is fair in my personal opinion as I normally spend $15-20 for the practice balls every time. There are several options you can choose to practice at this place. I absolutely recommend this place.

Pros

-Great system (has several cameras and they record every swing. You can review your swing) -Easy access -Plenty of parking -Reasonable pricing (I highly recommend the monthly option!) -Plenty of screen sets where I don't have to wait -Clean (this place is new) -Great customer care (the staff was really nice) -Quiet.

Cons -Indoor. I am not sure if this is a con but the system is not traditional golfing culture I guess?

Overall, if you are a golfer, you must...

This is definitely not the place you see in the Google pictures with the neon lights and six bays with counter tops. This place has three bays; two with projector screens to hit at, one with just a surface to hit at and a monitor to the side that displayed the sim. No balls; had to use my own. No amenities at all; maybe a vending machine? Surprisingly, no one working there either; I was literally given a virtual assistant via text that was of no help, and was left to fend for myself to try and set up the sim. I was alone in this place for at least fifteen minutes before another twosome that had never been there before entered and experienced the same initial shock I had. This is definitely not the Five Iron Golf experience I'm used to (Five Iron really needs to build a location in LA). Do yourself a favor and go to Wired Golf Club in Santa Monica for a much better experience at...

Terrible experience. User interface on the website is un-navigable, getting a hold of support won't happen. Chat is fake, phone disconnects. Access to the facility is opaque and difficult to follow, they'll give you bad instructions. Once you get inside, prepare to be underwhelmed by the facility - the photos on the website are not accurate. This is the broken vending machine of virtual golf facilities. Read the 5 star reviews and trust that they are fake - every point they make, the reality is the opposite. Save your money and time and go elsewhere. Highly recommend...
