practice range

Golfer's rehearsal spot

A practice range is a designated area for practicing a skill, especially shooting or golf.

At a shooting range, people fire at targets to improve accuracy.

A golf practice range—also called a driving range—lets players hit balls repeatedly without retrieving them: I spent an hour at the practice range working on my swing.
