On the range I hit 80% of the shots with my irons pretty good.  On the course I just can't seem to make good consistent ball strikes. I top the ball, hit worm burners, hit right, left, etc.

Is there a drill I can use to help correct this?

Thanks

Does your range have mats? Hitting off of mats can mask your flaws at the bottom of your swing arc and give you the illusion that you strike it better than you really do. The only thing I try to do is shorten the swing more on the course to stay more in control. I tend to get "loose" on the course because the focus is on making the shot, whereas on the range, the focus is on making the swing.

BTW, I took a look at your swing thread. I think you should update that more often. That's the best way to go if you are looking for some advice tailored to your swing.

This video by Butch Harmon has done wonders for me. I now hover my irons all the time (bottom of club level with top of ball).
