how much do you pay at the range?

[prutkows]

ive never been to a driving range outside of hawaii so i was wondering what the rest of the nation pays for balls.

the driving range i normally go to sells tokens for $1.50 each and each token equates to 30 balls; 90 balls to a basket.

only about 30% are new balls. of the remaining 70%, 90% have all the dimples but are still a bit worn out.

My club furnishs unlimited range balls as part of their membership package. We don't have a stand alone driving range in the area. Only one local public course has a driving range and they charge $5.00 for a large bucket which I think is around 100 balls.

My driving range is as follows: $6 will get you 34 balls, $9 will get you 68 balls, and $11 will get you 102 balls. Monday thru Friday between 8 and 12am pay $11 dollars and get a free large bucket, its called the early bird special. I still think their prices are high but two other ones that were near me closed down.

We have a number of public golf courses with attached ranges. The best deal is a membership for the range $300 to $400.00 all you can hit, for the year. There are are 3 or 4 stand alone ranges, ball quality is poorer and they don't have putting greens I feel they are a waste of time. Cost for a 100 ball bucket is betwee 7.50 and $10.00. Land costs are a problem probably in Hawaii Prutkows.

the driving near me has a deal on range balls...90 days unlimited for 99 bucks and with the normal buckets 11 for 200 balls i consider this a steal

early bird special? i suppose so since most people are working. usually i go to the range at around 10am monday-friday because its always empty :]

yeah land is expensive, but it seems the driving range i go to charges a lot less than the ones in your area. $4.50 for 90-100 balls.

Small (25-30) $4.00
Medium (75-80) $7.00
Large (125-130) $9.00
Jumbo (175-180) $11.00


This is the only stand alone range within about 45 minutes of us. They have a practice green and 2 bunkers you can hit from. Place is always packed.

You can get a seasonal membership for $300

Small (25-30) $4.00

wow, i would be flat broke if i had to pay those kinds of prices for balls. i go to the range 3-4 times a week and hit 500+ balls each time. and again, i pay $1.50 for 27-30 balls.

I work nights so I go to the range at 5:00am and get a breakfast special which is 220 balss and free coffee and doughnuts for $12.00.

We have two sizes, small and large. I charge $5.00 for a large bucket, which holds around 65 balls and $3.50 for a small bucket which holds about 25 balls.

The average around Central Ohio at a course seems to be $4 for a small bucket (25-30). The stand-alone range I usually go to is $9 for a jumbo (125).

I know the feeling for sure. Luckily my wife works for an insurance company in town and they have a deal where they can get range tickets for half price. Thats helps out quite a bit.

Thats alot of balls to hit at one time, at least it is for me. About 60 to 80 is all I can stand due to all the heat down here. Sounds like a good deal however for ya!
