Golf Facilities Cadillac Golf Ranch Description: The Cadillac Golf Ranch is a state-of-the-art golf learning and practice facility that opened in August 2010 in Pineville. The Cadillac Golf Ranch was conceived to be a “club” without a golf course. Our vision is for a place where golfers can meet, socialize, practice, learn and discuss the game of golf in a clean and pleasant atmosphere. We hope to create a place where golfers of all skill levels will find “their” place to fulfill their practice, learning, equipment and recreational needs.
You may also bring your canoe or kayak and put in for free at: McDowell Nature Preserve, 15222 York Rd. (Lake Wylie) Latta Plantation Nature Preserve, 5226 Sample Rd., Huntersville (Mountain Island Lake) Col. Francis Beatty Park, 4330 Weddington Rd.
