Morphology
The meaning 'a place to practice golf shots' is directly derivable from combining 'golf' (the sport) with 'range' (a practice facility). This noun+noun composition follows a common, cross-linguistic pattern for naming activity locations, so a B1 learner who knows both words will readily infer the meaning.
Etymology
Golf range comes from a simple picture: people hit golf balls across a wide open range, a field where you send things a long way, like at a shooting range. So it means 'a place to practice golf shots', especially 'driving the ball' over long distances.
