I can only speak to the driving range as that's all we used. We recently introduced our children to golf and try to take them to driving ranges on our road trips. We each had a bucket of balls and enjoyed our hour there. The grass was closed; I assume after the winter storm. We hit from the turf which worked just fine. We also enjoyed the putting green which was large and hilly. Overall, we were happy we went to the driving range here.
