None of the executive courses have their own driving range. Most of the championship courses also do not, although they usually have a cage that allows you to hit some balls into a net to warm up. Most of the executive courses have practice green to practice putting and some allow chip shots as well.

If you feel the need to warm up before playing an executive course, you are free to use the championship courses that have a range or use the cages if they don't.

And it's not a silly question. In the words of Dr. Sheldon Cooper, "How else will you learn?"
