Default Driving Ranges

Anyone know of a good driving range in this city. Grass to shoot off, a place to practice approach shots from 70+ yards out etc. There's a lot of crappy ranges in this city and I'm sick of them.

There is a nice one in harvest hills.But you can only hit off the grass there on Tuesdays and Thursdays....rest of the time is on mats.

They also have lights, so you can use the range when it gets dark too.

I'm pretty sure you hit off grass at Mckenzie Meadows. They also have practice bunkers I believe.

I was just there a couple of weeks ago and they do have hitting off of the grass, and a couple of bunkers to practice on.

they also have covered heated mats, so you can use the range when it gets cold and wet too.
