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.

Also, most course have a practice green for chipping and putting. I stop by on my way home from work quite often just to practice chipping and putting.
