Nope. Public courses allow players to practice their short game for free on and around the green. If it facilitates interest in the game it is more likely to lead to them buying buckets of balls and rounds on the course.
There is some etiquette involved, but most of it is common sense. Don't hit near where others are practicing, and don't monopolize several holes while putting if a lot of people are on the green. Don't hit longer pitch shots that will leave ball marks in the green if you can avoid it, because although you can fix it, it's still damage to the putting surface.
