About The Golf Ranch
The Golf Ranch bridges the gap between big-box retailers and high-end fitting studios. Family-owned and operated since 2010, they moved into an 18,000-square-foot facility in 2024 designed to serve golfers across Central Texas with quality equipment at fair prices. Their Top 100 Fitting Studio offers custom club fittings tailored to individual swings and body types, with fitting fees refunded 50% toward any purchase. The 7 hitting bays and expanded workshop handle everything from driver fittings ($100) to full-bag setups ($150), with master fitters Loren Westbrook, Sean Briney, Craig Roberts, Scott Wells, Heinz Lange. Home to the Harvey Penick Golf Academy, they offer instruction from Jim Hopkins (instructor since 1993, director-owner since 2010) and instructors like Patrick Chamberlain and Greg Richard, with individual lessons tailored to all levels. Their retail carries one of the largest clothing selections in the area, plus a bar and workshop for club work.
