Mammoth Green Driving Range & 18 Hole Mini Golf: A Mixed Bag of Tees
Mammoth Green Driving Range & 18 Hole Mini Golf in Londonderry, NH (135 Nashua Rd, Londonderry, NH 03053, (603) 432-4653) currently holds a 3.9-star rating, but recent reviews show a wide range of experiences. Here's a breakdown of what golfers are saying:
The Good:
- Covered Bays: A major plus is the sheltered driving range, making it playable even on rainy days.
- Friendly Staff: Some visitors have praised the welcoming attitude of the staff.
- Improved Balls (2023 Update): Recent feedback indicates a significant improvement! Owners listened to complaints and replaced the old balls with new TaylorMade balls. One user was "won over" by this change and plans to return.
- Accessibility: The facility offers wheelchair accessible entrance and parking.
- Multiple Payment Options: They accept Credit Cards, Debit Cards, and NFC mobile payments.
The Not-So-Good:
- Condition Concerns: The facility has drawn criticisms regarding the overall quality and maintenance.
- Worn Mats: A significant complaint revolves around the condition of the driving range mats, described as "atrocious", "worn", and "warped."
- Past Ball Issues: Previously, many users complained about the quality of the balls being poor--cracked, without dimples, and waterlogged. (This seems to have been addressed, as of 2023).
- Maintenance & Appearance: The area has been comparerd to a "landfill", with a messy parking lot and areas around the maintenance buildings.
- Customer Service: Some reviews mention unhelpful or rude staff members, along with reports of the facility closing early.
Pricing:
- Large buckets are currently $14. Consider comparing pricing with competitors like Max’s in Tyngsborough (offering buckets for $8).
The Verdict:
Mammoth Green appears to be a facility in transition. While the recent investment in new range balls is a positive step, previous customer experiences highlight ongoing issues with maintenance and customer service. If you’re just looking to take some swings and are undeterred by potential conditions, it's a convenient option -- especially if you plan on taking Advantage of the covered bays in bad weather. However, serious golfers might want to explore other nearby ranges like Max’s for a “better value”.
