About

JR Southbay Golf Practice Center in Bonita has operated since 2009 at the intersection of Bonita Road and Sweetwater Road, anchoring one of the few full-grass driving ranges in the greater Chula Vista and South Bay region. Ten covered hitting bays shelter golfers from sun and wind while a spacious grass range section stretches across one of the largest natural-turf practice areas in San Diego, feeding into the same swing-development cycle that culminates in full rounds at Chula Vista Golf Course & Venue. A lighted range area extends practice into evening hours, and a dedicated short-game zone with chipping greens, sand-trap bunkers, and a putting green isolates scoring-zone technique. Women-owned and Asian-owned, the facility offers range cards with bulk pricing and hosts rotating instructors who run on-site lessons emphasizing launch-angle optimization and club-path correction. The short-game practice bunkers feature variable sand depths for splash-shot and buried-lie drill sequences, training rotational hip mechanics that overlap with the flexibility programming at Club Pilates Bonita. The full-grass hitting area accommodates driver-through-wedge practice on natural turf, while the adjacent short-game complex pairs multiple chipping target greens with contoured putting surfaces for dialing in distances from 100 yards and in.
