Walnut Creek Country Club: Driving Range Tee

Driving Range Tee

Prior to "winter" we put the first cut on the new range tee surface. Although it looks green, many areas are still thin and need time to mature in the spring before it can be used. We currently anticipate opening the new range tee on Memorial Day weekend 2019.
