Ranges have become too expensive nowadays, my local one is now £8.50 for 100 balls. Actually puts me off going there I'd rather hit balls in the rain at my course now rather than pay that to hit mediocre to poor range balls

I was mistaken it's now £9 for 100 balls, takes the biscuitMe to .
The one I go to has put flightscope in the bays but £9.50 for 100 balls puts me off.
Most of the data is useless to me .
I'd definitely boycott that place, for that price I'd expect a grass range well maintained with very good quality practice balls, just a ridiculous amount of money to hit balls to then get turfed out after an hour£12 for 120 balls at greenwich driving range.
You only get a 1 hour slot too
Airth range has really improved the last year or so. They refurbed it, new balls and then added Top Tracer.
Only issue is the cost is now £9.50 for 100 balls. Appreciate they need to recoup investment but I do worry the cost will actually reduce footfall in time. Hopefully I am wrong though.
People spend longer than an hour at a range? How many balls do you buy? I think about 30 mins is enough for me with a basket of balls, 75 max, sometimes just 50.
Did you not use all of your good shots up? 😄.Spent just under 2 hours at the range this morning before going out to play the PGA, no cost for the balls at all

I would get both tired and bored being at a range that long. Then going on to play, I'd definitely be getting tired 2/3 of the way round the course.
Do you have a cafe attached or similar to get a drink from, relax etc in order to break it up? I could see myself hitting 50 balls, get a coffee, bring it back, hit the rest whilst having a sip every now and again. I don't have a range like that near to me but I've been to a couple of places further away this year that had American Golf shops and cafes attached. They made the ranges there much nicer, more of an event to visit.I can easily spend a couple of hours at a range especially if I've had a lesson and I'm working on a swing change. That said, I tend to only hit 30 balls or so before stopping and having a break and I'll consciously step off the mat after each shot so I simply don't drag and hit after a bad one
Same. I don't even go nowadays, but when I did, I couldn't hit more than 50 or 60 balls or it just becomes a tedious waste of time. The couple of times I got 100 out, thinking I'd put some good hard effort in, I end up hitting 20 with one club, 20 with another, 20 with another.. then I'm pretty much done. Hit a few wedges, then end up slapping the last 30-odd balls away with little or no thought just to use them up.Did you not use all of your good shots up? 😄.
