$ .10C per ball

[Golf'nBiker]

So, lately as the weather has been rainy and just crappy to play, I've been pounding balls at several ranges. Here in Bama, or my A/O, it cost ten cents per ball. I think thats a lil much as I've gotton spoiled, I guess, with the (former) rates at my home course. So, whats everyone think is a fair price for a bucket????

Sounds good...I got 2 30 ball buckets today for $6., and at 'my' course it's a flat $5. for 50....which always amounts to 43 -47 balls. Anyway, ya gotta practice and it seems lately that the price range has gotton higher.

Unlimited range balls ftw.

I usually use about 20 buckets a month. Normal price is $3.50 for 45 which is about 8 cents per ball but I couldnt do without unlimited. 20 buckets a month would be $70 a month but then again I probably wouldn't hit that many so I wouldnt get as much practice.

My range balls are included in y membership fees, but at the range near work is about $.10 per ball. The size of bucket changes depending on the time of day and time for year. a Winter bucket is $5.50 for 80 balls, summer buckets i $5.50 for 50 balls

to be technical, .10C is 1/10 of a cent, or 1/1000 of a dollar. i think you mean 10C or $.10

You got me...I have whacked my pee pee bewteen a PW and a 9 iron. But ten CENTS per ball seems a bit high to me.

I am spoiled working in this business. unlimited range balls and my own real grass tee to hit off at the back of the range.

yeah....in Jax there is only one really decent lighted range. $12 for 75 balls.....not too happy.

Thats ridiculous and also unbelievable. I guess if you can only hit range balls at nighttime you are limited heavily but $12 is steep.

I pay about 12 cents per ball for lighted, grass for Irons and mats for drivers.

Its $3 a bucket here in illinois, and you get about 35 balls in a bucket, I usually will hit 3 buckets in a practice session, so about $9 for a little over 100 balls or about 9 cents a ball.

thats what my range did, they bumped up all their bucket prices by like 2 or 3 dollars saying because they got new range balls, the price is now higher. Well yes they got new range balls, but in every bucket ill maybe get 5-10 of the new ones out of my 100-110 ball bucket. Well if im now paying the higher price for new range balls, i expect every single ball i hit to be a new one.

also in every bucket there are balls that are chopped up, so old they have no dimples, or have sides shaved off/or bent in.

Depends on the range here. On the low end it's about $0.11 per ball. High end it's $0.16. The higher end places have nicer heated ranges.

My range is a pretty decent place, lighted at night, clean mats, automatic ball dispensers, brand new balls, etc. The price went up $1/bucket when they installed the dispensers and bought new balls recently, so it is $10/100 balls now. However on Mondays, they have a buy 2 buckets get 1 bucket free deal.

They give you tokens for your balls as you get them from a machine (2 tokens = 1 full 100 ball bucket) and you can use the tokens any day of the week. Heck, sometimes I'll go in on a Monday just to buy tokens and use them later in the week. Comes out to $0.067 per ball. Not bad for a nice range with plenty of mats, multiple distance targets, pitching targets, etc. Also has an immaculate and large putting green and a pretty challenging, sloped chipping area. I love the place.

Oh weak. My range got "new balls" and they have kids in the ball shack sorting out the old ones and we get 100% new balls in our buckets.
