Skylinks at Buchanan Fields in Concord has emerged as one of the East Bay's best value practice facilities under its relatively new ownership. The 50-bay range — recently upgraded with new mats, balls, and comfortable seating — is open until 10pm every night (Mondays from 10am), making it one of the region's best late-evening options. Mount Diablo provides a dramatic backdrop, and the short game area includes a putting green, chipping green, and sand bunkers. The 9-hole par-31 course is available for play as well. At around $12 a bucket, it's among the most affordable serious practice facilities in the Bay Area, and the new ownership has clearly invested in improving the experience from what it was a few years ago.
