Glenview grass is in great shape but only available several days a week. If I want to hit off grass I go to Baseline. On the bad side their grass is very thin. Took lessons recently and pro told me that the worst thing to do is practice off mats. Do admit that I do not hit a shank off of the mats. Another problem around TV golf courses is that the ranges are not very deep and there are a lot of ball pounders
