Local golf shop does lessons using their simulator, and I really like the pro there, but I'm wondering if I'd get more bang for my buck by paying for lessons at a range where I can actually watch the ball fly.
Does it matter?

If they are using flight scope, trackman, or gc2 then go for it.
Now if they have any of those set up to hit outdoor, even better.
I'd go as far as saying they need the HMT on the gc2 otherwise the numbers can be skewed by strike and you dont really know it.
Yes it matters.
Go out to a range where you can get feedback on divots, shot shape, ball flight, spin, etc.
Nothing is better than actual golf so i suggest going the range route weather permitting.
Depending on the simulator, the pro can give you great feedback using the simulator as well as relevant information such as launch angle, club head speed, spin etc. As well you can see the differences with the changes he is trying to show you. A good simulator will also show an accurate ball flight.
