There were actually two golfballs hit by Shepard. They travelled, by his own estimate, between 200 and 400 yards, and were not retrieved. Shepard took the shots from within 30 yards of the rim of Cone Crater, the Moon. They are, therefore, somewhere within the within about 230-430 yards of the rim of Cone Crater, the Moon.
