Driving range wants and needs

[Charli]

BYOB. Targets galore. Heated section. Sign me up everyone goes to top golf I go there.

Short game area. That would be my absolute first choice.

Aside from that, a well-maintained grass hitting area and/or good quality mats.

When I use a range, I want to know a few things: grass or mats? If mats, are they the cheap kind that are wore down already or the newest tech that replicates hitting off grass? If they're the latter I'll visit that place often. Cheap mats are useless to me and don't lead to repeat business.

Grass is great but I can deal with mats if weather doesn't permit. 

A short game area is always nice, but better would be a nice well kept putting green. I've visited a few ranges that had a putting green that was cheap plastic or was more hairy than a yeti.
