It's never really been an issue for me because I spend very little time at actual ranges. Having lots of open desert is nice sometimes.
They have plenty of high berms and such, but they are in a populated valley area. Frankly, it's the best setup within reasonable driving distance (for the price).
Trust me, if I had some open land available to me anywhere close, I'd ditch the range in a heartbeat.

That would be the one, yes.
I'm moving to Round Rock at the end of January so I might be able to consider some of the other northwestern area ranges.

Shame you don't live further south. The guys at GT Distributors recommended a range in Lockhart that allows FMJ, unlike Eagle Peak (moot for handguns, I know, but handy for the rifle stuff).
