Driving ranges in Roanoke: grass, mats & practice features

The current operator publishes 2026 public daily-fee rates and direct tee booking, while the current Scott Robertson Memorial practice-facility page identifies Hanging Rock as an off-site local practice option. A current 2026 Virginia Rural Water Association event sheet at Hanging Rock also directs attendees to hit range balls before play.

The current public-course operator provides direct tee booking and its 2026 player-card terms explicitly discount any size range-ball basket, establishing an active outdoor practice range for public customers.

The current 2026 operator states that the driving range is open to the public as well as members, publishes three public bucket sizes and prices, and posts weekly range-maintenance closure times.

The PGA of America maintains a current facility page for Glen Acres Driving Range, Google Places currently identifies the standalone outdoor range as operational, and the current 2026 Scott Robertson Memorial practice-facility list directs tournament players to the same Salem range.

The current 2026 Scott Robertson Memorial practice-facility list identifies Lakeside Golf Center as an off-site local practice option and specifically notes its automated ball machine. Google Places currently identifies the standalone outdoor driving range as operational; the current GolfVirginia facility profile independently provides the same Salem identity and phone number.

The current operator publishes 2026 hours and says the pro shop is open to everyone every day on a first-come basis. Current golf-facility directories identify the active Rocky Mount course as public and document its full-shot driving range; surface was left unclassified because the operator does not currently describe the tee material and directory surface claims were not treated as authoritative enough.

The current 2026 public-course operator provides online tee booking, a dedicated Toptracer Range section, lessons, and an explicit description of the outdoor driving range. Blue Hills Bar & Grill at the same address is an amenity of this facility and was not counted separately.

The current operator page, updated in 2026, describes a 350-yard driving range, 10,000-square-foot putting green, 6,000-square-foot chipping green, and practice bunker, and explicitly welcomes public golfers as well as members.
