A driving (also called a practice, golf, hitting or, informally, a shooting range) is a facility or area where golfers can practice golf shots outside the context of a round of golf. Driving ranges typically consist of multiple hitting stations from which players strike golf balls toward designated target areas.

They are used for practicing full swings, warming up before play, receiving instruction, and testing golf equipment. Ranges vary in size and design, from open-air facilities attached to golf courses to standalone commercial venues and indoor simulators. Ranges may allow hitting off natural grass, or allow players to use artificial turf mats.
