They close them around here (SoNv) during thunder storms with flooding, and lightening. However, those are rare instances since we only average +/- 4 inches of rain per year.

If it gets so wet that the balls plug, or they can't pick them. Not necessarily just because it rains...

It's frustrating to drive out to practice and have the range closed due to light rain. The Vineyard is pretty good about staying open, the range is all grass. They do move you to mats usually though. That might be a bit of a drive for you. River walk might be a good option.

So it depends. We get rain from mid October to mid June, during that period we will get about 40-50 inches of rain. If we get enough rainy days in a row, the range will close during a few months of the winter. Mostly because balls will plug in the mud and get lost. Gets expensive to lose all those balls. So we do close.

The three tee tiers for our practice range are at the top of a hill. The range has target greens.

When I first started I saw this video on "almost golf balls" and though it looked so fun I bought a huge bucket of them. I could never find a place that worked out so well like the guy in the video.

Well ... obviously the home course pulls everyone off everything with thunder. Otherwise it would have to be pretty bad for them to close the range. We're probably talking a solid day of heavy rain to do it.#N#Another place I go is strictly coin-op. Literally, nobody mans the place most of the week and there is no gate on it either.
