Being able to practice hitting full swings off grass is problematic in a place with so many golfers as practice areas would not be able to hold real grass. I hate hitting off mats, it teaches you bad habits which don’t improve your game.
Every Championship course has a practice putting green and some allow short pitching...

Some Exec courses also have practice greens...
