The Lions Club/American Legion Range on Rolling Acres Road closes at 5:00 pm every day.

Oxford Range on 301 is open Mon-Sat 8-6 but if you buy your balls by 6 you can hit until you are done. They just close the shop at 6.

If you are asking about TV driving ranges, all that information is on 'golfthevillages.com'. Then go to the courses for details. Driving ranges are at Bonifay (Sarasota Range), Arnold Palmer and Nancy Lopez.

My favorite is Palmer driving range, and it's open 7 days a week from sunrise to sunset with the exception of Saturday it closes at 4pm for maintenance. The negative with these driving ranges are the dress code is the same as if you're playing on the course and the balls are more expensive. The positive is they are golf cart accessible and Palmer has some really nice aiming targets.

What is more important to me is what days are mats and what are hitting from the turf. Mon-Wed-Fri-Sun are hitting from the grass days, and the others you must hit from mats. The other two driving ranges are different days and at Sarasota Range you hit into a lake.

Off campus my favorite range is the Oxford Range on 301 just south of 466. Unfortunately you would need to drive there by car.

The Driving Range on Rolling Acres Rd is golf cart accessible and is open seven days a week. Large buckets are $4 each. The nice thing about this range is that it is run entirely by volunteers from the Orange Blossom Lions Club and The American Legion. ALL proceeds go to local charities. Phone number is 352-753-9878.
