A golf ball feeder includes a hopper for storing a plurality of golf balls therein. The hopper has an opening. A guide chute is positioned below the hopper to receive the golf balls from the opening of the hopper. The golf balls flow along the guide chute. An outlet chute is connected to the guide chute to pass over the golf balls flowed from the guide chute to the outside. A stopper is formed in a boundary region between the guide chute and the outlet chute to stop flowing of the golf balls. A golf ball lifting unit is positioned below the stopper to free one of the golf balls from the stopper. The golf ball lifting unit has a rod. A tee up member is hinged at an outlet side of the outlet chute to receive the golf ball from the outlet chute and put the golf ball on a tee. The golf balls are liable to be stuck in the hopper. Therefore, the golf ball feeder further includes a golf ball releasing unit to release the stuck state of the golf balls in connection with the rod of the golf ball lifting unit.
