If you spend any time on social media, chances are you’ve come across GolfBallin—and you already know that golf isn’t just a hobby for founder Brandon Johnson, it’s a way of life.
Located at 4701 Main Street in the City of Oakley, GolfBallin is the result of more than a year of vision, grit, and hands-on work. Johnson took what was once a rundown property and transformed it into a world-class golf practice facility, designed to welcome golfers of all ages and skill levels.
Today, the space features outdoor hitting bays, a meticulously designed putting green, and sand traps that allow players to fine-tune every part of their short game. Beyond the practice areas, GolfBallin offers a full-service golf shop, golf carts for sale, and practice facility memberships, making it a true one-stop destination for golf enthusiasts.
But GolfBallin’s impact extends far beyond the game.
On December 20, the facility will host its 6th Annual GolfBallin Toy Drive & Giveaway, a beloved community event that brings joy to thousands of local children each year. Donations are being accepted through December 20, with the giveaway taking place from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.
To make the event a success, organizers are seeking 30–40 volunteers to help distribute toys and ensure the day runs smoothly. It’s a powerful reminder that while GolfBallin may be built around golf, its heart is firmly rooted in giving back to the community.
From viral videos to meaningful local impact, GolfBallin continues to prove that passion—when paired with purpose—can create something truly special.
