Default Driving range

We are down here for a few weeks checking things out. It's our third trip and this time I brought golf clubs. I'm a fairly new golfer but enjoy the game and played a couple of leagues over the summer back home. Can someone point me in a direction of driving ranges between Brownwood and Sumter Landing? We have temporary resident ID passes if need be.

Thanks. I'll go check it out. Can anyone use the driving range at Palmer Legends?

There are also some private driving ranges. One is beside Walmart on 466, and that one has an automated system where you swipe your credit card and a bucket of balls falls out. So it is open all the time.

Another is on 301 next to AcuTech auto mechanic service, not too far south of 466. I forget what either one are called, but they are both fine. Also, the one on 301 has a golf school that gets good reviews.

That's fantastic. I am into supporting the American Legion and I'm an officer at our local Post in Ohio. I just visited the American Legion in lady lake and didn't realize they had a driving range up there

"The Daily Sun" today's paper on the cover of the "C" section. Story about the range.

If by "this place", you mean The Villages, I have to agree with you. On the other hand, if you mean the "Talk of the Villages Forum", I have to agree with you as well! In my experience, there is just always somebody here who is willing to help out anyone with a question about life here in our little slice of paradise.
