driving range

Swing practice facility

A driving range is a facility where golfers practice full swings, hitting balls from designated spots toward distant targets.

Unlike a golf course, players don't retrieve their balls—they hit from a supply of range balls into an open field.

I spent an hour at the driving range working on my swing.
