Nobody ever plays on the course I play at, which means I can go out there whenever I want, choose a hole, and practice all day if I want to. From a cost, maintenance, and time standpoint, you may be better off at a local driving range, or with a hitting net.

If you do make this practice field, be sure to keep us posted on it.

Well a driving range you have to pay for all of the balls every time. The range I go to is 5 bucks for 55 balls. If it costs you 100 bucks to make the thing, that's 20 range visits of 55 balls. But, you could go to a course and get 200 balls from the water and have 4x the range balls to use. If you use 500 a week, you've paid off the range balls in 2 weeks. Now you have to pay for fertilizer and gas for the mower, plus the time to retrieve and clean the balls, but since it's unlimited balls it's still going to be cheaper than the range by a lot in the long run.
