Decent facility, terribly disconnected staff members! I have been going to Leatherman for a couple of years now, and have yet to see their staff show any appreciation for their customers. The staff know that I am a regular but they always have a grim faced look when I pay for services. The reason I am finally posting this review is that after I spent literally hundreds of dollars practicing at their range, I recently went with my 9-year old son so he could do put-put golf while I practiced. Based on his prior experience when he lost his colored ball in the water, I asked the staff if they could give a second ball as back up. Guess what? The portly and surly looking staff member refused and said it is their policy to give only one ball. Imagine this! A ball that probably costs barely a dollar at most! They cannot give that to a regular customer knowing that I have been paying hundreds of dollars each time I renew my range card. I dont know who the owner of this place is but surely these staff members must be relatives because if I was the owner, I would get rid of all these guys real fast. I am waiting for my card to run out of money and then its bye-bye Leatherman. The other reviewers clearly reflect my feedback, and honestly, I was not surprised at the other reviews.

I took lessons with Chris 13 years ago as a total beginner because I specifically wanted to learn a good swing that would last me a lifetime. Chris teaches the five fundamentals and thats what I learned and grooved in through hitting thousands of golf balls. Some personal changes and an injury kept me from playing or even hitting balls for 8 years, but my 14 year old son just started playing and I went to the range with him and was shocked that I could still hit my 1985 Titleist forged blades that I used for practice years ago. Just nailing them one after another after muscle memory and some of Chriss lessons returned. Im a total believer in learning a swing based on the five fundamentals and Chriss ability to teach them. Ive booked a lesson for my son so he can start learning this and start his golf career with a swing that will last a lifetime too. Update: 4 lessons in and my son has made huge improvements and is more excited about learning and playing than ever. Chriss way of teaching is very positive and hes very patient, and I think that helped a lot in not overwhelming my son as a total beginner and keeps him excited about improving. Great teacher.

FITTINGS ARE FOR HIGH HANDICAP PLAYERS ONLY- had a one hour fitting scheduled, myself I am a scratch golfer that has a 118 mph swing speed and I was looking to get fit for a driver and 3-wood. During the fitting he only brought one X-stiff shaft down to test with for 3-wood and none do the driver. My current 3-wood was a X2 hot pro and out performed all of the stiff shafts in distance and height he put together than when it came to the driver I currently play a 3-year old Slider with a X-stiff speeder shaft tipped a half inch which had a carry of 275 and spin rate of 2000 and a 14 degree launch angle, all of the stiff shaft drivers he fit for me (all stiff) would launch at 18-19 degrees with a spin rate between 2700-5000. Fitting would have been good for someone who only plays every so often, but for a serious golfer especially someone with a high club speed its a complete waste of money.

I highly recommend Chris Leatherman for lessons. He watched me hit 10 balls from different angles and suggested 2 changes: one to my grip and one to my swing. After 20-30 balls I was hitting the ball better than ever. I hold about an 8 handicap. After my lesson I went and played 9 holes and shot 1 under! AMAZING! Ill get a lesson from him once a month now. I go here at least twice a week. The putting green is always in good shape with a consistent speed from day to day and week to week. There is an abundance of room to hit balls, both from grass and mats. The chipping green is large enough to provide a variety of lies and slope to hit in to. The only knock, in my opinion is the chipping green seems to be very fast compared to the putting green.

Nice facility, however the customer service by one gentleman in particular is terrible. The african-american man has a terrible attitude. I gave it a pass on the first visit, maybe he was having a bad day. But Ive been back several more times and he always finds a way to give attitude. Not sure why I keep going back but it was for the last time today.

My son who is now 15 takes has been taking 3 to 4 lesson per year with Chris for the last several years. Great teacher for juniors. Im a member of a local country club and have tried several other instructors and he is the best. Gives him one or two things to work on after each visit and doesnt try to oversell the lessons. Best value in Charlotte.

This place is awesome. Friendly staff, plenty of spacing for people to hit golf balls. Mr. Leatherman is giving lessons to my son. He is very good at keeping my sons attention. My son is learning so much. I would recommend this driving range / learning center to anyone.

If you hit a long driver, be careful that you dont put your shots over the net. You can easily get a ball into Tryon Street. If you are swinging hard, hit from the furthest spot to the left that is available. Other than that, nice facility.

Abel Choi

I am currently in lesson with Chris Letherman. He is best golf teacher for me. After i had two lessons. My shots are getting much better when i play at golf course fields. Highly recommended teacher.

James Tyner

Nice facility. I have been there 3 times in the last 2 weeks. Unfortunately, I have yet to see a smile or feel welcome when I come in the door. All three seemed to be in a bad mood and disinterested.

Scott Sanford

I had taken many lessons that really were complicated and unnecessary. Chris made instruction simple and explained the fundamentals, made the golf swing simple to understand. Thanks Chris.

Best deal in charlotte for range balls, pads automatically tee it up to your preferred height, clubs are priced competitively to the internet. My favorite range.

Issac Kahl

Great place to play and practice!! But Klayton below is a butt banger...He tries to molest helpless old people. Help me catch him and bring him to justice

Van Walter

Have driven past many times, but never stopped. We really enjoyed the setup and it was a good value. Nice pro shop too!

Matt Crean

Great range, plenty of room, good natural turf, and decent chipping area. Plenty of targets to dial everything in.

Gene Saunders

Excellent advice and fitting with Curtis today. I would highly recommend to anyone looking to improve their game.

Ive used this facility several times and I love visiting them. Great place to have a casual business meeting.

Max Baratta

Great range, lots of different areas, mini golf is great and the instructors are easy to learn from

Travis Isaacson

Forget top golf. This is where you need to be for half the cost. Plus they have beer!
