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.

10500 Virgil H Goode Hwy, Rocky Mount, VA 24151
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.
