I don't want to hit off mats. And the power line area near me has no fence, wide open, mowed fairly well. No signs to say Keep Out. But the dog poo, snakes and turtles may be a deterrent. And maybe the power lines emit harmful stuff. Think that area near the pond behind Freedom Point is my best bet.

I did hit some balls in an open area just North of Morse, near the gate from 27/441. But there is a nice open strip of land with the big power line structures real near me....would be perfect. Yes or no??
Just pay for a bucket of balls at a driving range

Since you are asking, not sure if, you should ask. The most likely answer is NO. It is not wise to play around POWER LINES and no one will give you an OK to do so.

Plenty of driving ranges. Some with mats, others alternate mats and turf daily. The putt and play or pitch and putt courses are around.

Go for it! Bonus…if you lose your ball you can climb a tower to look for it! FORE.

As expected, thanks for checking.

golfing foursomes should stick together and practice their deep drive delivery skills

Buying a bucket of balls is less expensive than hiring attorneys for both a criminal and/ or civil case.

I practiced yesterday for about an hour between power towers, no longer than 80 yds.

. Occasionally had to wait for dog walking a human. Best I could determine, there are no pitching practice areas available to the public within 30 miles. There is a green in the Palmer teaching area, but it’s a bit dicey due to slicers off the range. Let’s buy a small ranch and develop a chip, putt and pitch facility.

Seriously???? Just go to a range and hit pitch shots

Go to the pitch and putt

So....you want to take your own golf balls and hit them 50-75 yds in taller grass which means good luck on finding them. Don't forget to look for snakes. :22yikes:

We have snakes in our yard with short grass and landscape stone. What’s the difference?

Don't want to hit off mats. Found a great spot. Hit about 45 balls this afternoon.

I frequently see golfers practicing along the Power Corridor Path near the dog park between Belle Mead Circle and Legacy Lane. I have never witnessed any Villages Official or Power Company employee interfere nor is there any signage indicating that area is "OB. As far as "radiation" concerns, I think the jury is still out on that one.
