Thanks, Janet
I've never driven over to the Rolling Acres range by golf cart because it's mats only, that's a good way to mess up your swing and your clubs. You'll come away with a false impression of hitting the ball much better than you would off real grass. However, from your location, if you like mats you've got the Sarasota Driving Range 5 minutes your house, which is mostly mats. Otherwise you're looking at about a 35 minute golf cart ride through a couple of tunnels, the Morse Bridge and a lot of turns to reach the Lions Club Range on Rolling Acres Rd. If you want variety, try the Arnold Palmer Range, it's probably only 25 minutes or less and has both turf and mats and it's right in The Villages. Otherwise, I would jump in the car and go to either the Oxford Driving Range on Hwy 301 near Walmart or the Tree Top Driving Range on Rolling Acres Rd. behind the VFW.
