While at the range, start slow, hit wedge shots and then work you way through the clubs in your bag. Players are entitled to hit off the 25,000 square foot grass tee or off the matted areas located next to the ball machine. Finish your range session by playing the first couple of holes in your mind. Getting your mind ready is critical in playing good golf. Range balls are sold in 3 varieties: a 20 ball warm up basket for $2.50 balls for $6.00 off the mats, and $7.00 for the grass basket.
Before heading to the course for play or leaving for the day be sure to spend sometime on the putting green. Make sure that you hole each putt and try different lengths of putts to become familiar with the speed of the greens as it is very similar to the course experience.
