On campus driving ranges are at Lopez, Palmer, Glenview and of course Sarasota. They would be open when the pro shop is open to buy a token or the starter shack for a small bucket which is now $2. The biggest question I always have is what days are mats, because I don't want to use them. Last time I was at Glenview mats were on Friday and Sunday. Nice chipping greens are at Cane Garden and Bonifay. Maybe others can fill in more info.

Off campus ranges that I use are Oxford Driving Range on Hwy 301 just south of 466, hit from sod anytime and new Wilson Staff balls and several aiming targets. Buckets are only $5 for a good size of 80 balls or so. Tree Top Range on Rolling Acres Rd south of 466 behind American Legion, hit from sod, bucket $7 could use some more targets. Newly reopened range behind Walmart on 466, I haven't been there since new ownership, I read they have new Titleist balls.
