There's No Golf Here
Atlantic City is the northernmost part of a small island and at it's widest point is maybe a mile or two. Aside from a few parks scattered sporadically throughout the city, not an inch has been left undeveloped, certainly not enough for a golf course much less a driving range (in Atlantic City).
If you have the navigation ability of a homing pigeon, down beach in Margate City, there is an old, dilapidated Driving range nestled back among the reeds of the marshes. 75 stoplights later and a myriad of right, left and u-turns through one-way streets, and you have found this disaster of a driving range to hit off of turn of the century astroturf mats. But in reality, the Margate driving range really is only a few miles from Atlantic City proper, but it does take you a half an hour on average to get there, if you are lucky.
If this is an experience you wish to avoid (and most do or should), take an equally timed drive to Olde Masters Golf Center. Though it is considerably further from Atlantic City, you will get there faster, and with far less confusion and be offered an excellent experience of everything golf. A pro-shop, heated, covered and un-covered, new astroturf mats or real grass, and a world-class little teaching center with video and the works. If that wasn't enough, they even threw in a fantastic nine-hole (that plays 18-holes) miniature golf course.
