    Carlsbad Golf Center is truly a place for all golfers - and even non-golfers who enjoy hitting a bucket of balls from time to time. Beginners and experts, men, women and children of all ages flock to CGC for the relaxed, welcoming atmosphere in our pro shop. We open early and stay open late almost every day of the year - so we're here when you have time for fun or when you need to buy a dozen balls for tomorrow's round.

    Customers quickly become members of the CGC family because we feature the highest quality at reasonable prices at our driving range. We use only the best artificial grass mats available, the most durable soft-feel range balls, and keep our grass putting green in excellent shape year-round.

    CGC proudly serves as the practice home of aspiring professional golfers and several local high school teams. If these competitive players love our facility, you will as well.

    CGC is active in the local community and is available to help with fundraisers and special events. Please contact the pro shop for more information: 760-720-GOLF (4653).


    Losing distance (casting)

    One of the main reasons for losing power and distance is called casting or releasing the "L" angle established at the top of the back swing too early. Once you’ve got a power-producing position at the top of your back swing, you’re ready to turn all of that stored energy into action. This means timing the release of the club head so it whips through the ball at the highest possible speed.

    Most amateurs lose the "L" angle of the wrist too early, which leads them to straighten the right arm and wrists well before impact. That’s a big power drain.

    1. Don’t get so eager that you throw the club head at the ball.
    2. Think of pointing the handle of the club at the ball as you shift your weight and feel your hands release when your hands are about waist high on the downswing.
    3. There is a drill called the pump drill and some swing training aids you can use to cure this problem.
    4. Best to see one of our PGA Professionals or check with one of our professional assistants in the golf shop and try one of these swing aides.
