In regards to "The Red Zone", you really need to have real "game time" type environments. In the absence of quality short game practice areas I would recommend some of the other drills they offer in the book, specifically those which can be done indoors.
I also like to go out with small soccer cones and place them at 5 yard increments and plactice trying to "fly" them into the cones with different clubs and trajectories. In the end you must control trajectory and roll around the greens so this helps satisfy at least one area.
You can also use laundry baskets with a towel in the bottom and try to land them in the basket.
Putting can easily be done indoors.
I hope this helps a little. I am fortunate to have always had decent facilities to practice at.
I would love to have access to some of the facilities I have seen at your country club type locations but sadly my club doesn't have them
In fact, our 'range' at its longest, is less than 200 yards long and at the moment we have no chipping or putting green
We are growing in a new putting green which is bigger so thats a plus and hopefully the chipping green will be open soon too.
The chipping green is rather one dimensional though as it is just a big green with very little grass surrounding it to play chips. You end up just playing long chip and runs, it takes a lot of imagination to create shots that you actually see on the course.
