Four of the nine driving ranges we list in San Francisco, the Peninsula, the East Bay and Marin state that they have grass tees: Corica Park Practice Center, Mariners Point Golf Center, Metropolitan Golf Links and San Bruno Golf Center. Checked November 2026.
Grass tees let you hit off real turf instead of a mat, which gives honest feedback on fat and thin shots. Most ranges open the grass only in season and on set days, so check the notes on each listing.
