4$ for 40 balls. Pretty steep considering the driving range is basically dirt. And it is NOT included in my membership of the course. BTW it is the Texas A&M; Campus course.

In an old bag:

3 Wood V Steel 15*

What? the range isn't included in the membership? damn. i'm going back for some grad classes in the spring, and was thinking about taking a membership. i didn't know that. i don't know if it's close to you, but there is a driving range out in bryan off briarcrest that's pretty cheap.


usually 10-11 dollars where i live

We charge $3.00 for a small (45-50 balls) and $5.00 for a large (90-100 balls).

My equipment:

Driver - Callaway FT3 Fusion (9 degree)
3 Wood - Orlimar Tri-Metal (9 degree)
Hybrids - Bobby Jones (17, 21 & 25 degree)

Irons - KZG XCB 5 - PW

Wedges - Warrior (52 & 56 degree)

Putter - STX Envision

Ball of choice - Callaway TOUR i(s)


At my home course it's included in my membership. However, my home courses' range only goes out 170yds and doesn't have any targets or anything. It's basically just a place to hit a couple balls to get warmed up before a round.

Everyone on my high school golf team gets a free range membership to a really nice range at a local 9-hole muni. Probably the best range in the area. Two-tier tee boxes, eight target greens, and it goes out well past 300yds. I think it's $4.50 for 60-70 balls.

Career Bests:

9 Holes--37 @ The Fairways at Arrowhead-Front(+2)

18 Holes--80 @ Carroll Meadows Golf Course(+9)

 

Home Course:

1) The Fairways at Arrowhead

2) Mayfair Country Club


$6 for 60 or $12 for 120. But I just signed up for a $45/month plan with unlimited balls. I basically break even if I go twice a week, but I also get decent discounts on rounds.

Nothing.
I have an onion sack full of balls and I shag them myself. The old driving range is closed, but they keep it pretty well mowed, so I just hit balls to my heart's content.

I have an Onion sack and usually hit in to my net in my back yard though. Not to good for seeing where your ball would go though.

I work at a practice facility full time during the day and a semi-private course 3hrs. or so per week for free golf. I think the range charges $8.50 for a large and $10 for a jumbo.

$10 for a large bucket, not sure how many balls are in there..but definitely over 100. The range has a grass area too which is nice, even though it's not very well maintained. The balls are all real balls as well, some of the ranges you guys go to don't use real ones? That's awful.

I have found a great course that charges $10 for UNLIMITED range balls. Has a great range with flags at 50, 75, 100, 125, 150, 175, 200, 250 and 300

Huge Practice green, practice bunker and around 30 stalls so it's a deal.

I once went there and stayed for just over 4 hours....

    • I've had this one since 2021.  Amazon.com No complaints.  I had to reglue the little Velcro tabs onto the yellow foam guide thingies. But that's not a big deal. The Velcro came off almost immediately and I put them back on using super-glue and they've been fine ever since. I've hit a lot of balls off this in my garage and I have no complaints. 
    • I've been thinking about buying a hitting mat for home indoors use. I currently only got a small patch of some mat I bought years ago and stand on a wooden platform. It'd be nice having a mat to stand on and hit from. After some searching, I see Fiberbuilt often being praised. Not sure if I can get hold of it easily here, and buying internationally can get expensive for a mat that's already quite pricey (~$800). The Wittek Quattro is also usually favorably mentioned, and at half the price (~$400) of the Fiberbuilt. Anyone have experince with this mat? Any other suggestions?
    • It just occurred to me that the last time I was serious about golf, my woods were made of….wood! Also interestingly (to me anyway) as I shopped for “woods”, mostly on eBay, I found that all the clubs in really nice cosmetic/aesthetic shape (good finish, nice club face, good grip) were woman’s clubs. Seems they either take really good care of them or don’t use them much.    And lastly, for now anyway, I went to a range today that has Top Tracer monitors at all the stations - another “new” development that may have been around for quite a while, but this was a first for me. I found it useful although I’m sure I only scratched the surface of its capabilities. 
    • Agreed. For me, the feel was introduced to get the arms moving down from the top. It wasn't necessarily a "get it in front of the hip" explanation as the correct position but more for an exaggerated feel to get rid of the earlier issue.
