Who on here has the most expensive local driving range?

[Phil2511]

The range at my course is £1 for 18 balls. Or a 10 credit card for £9.00. Used to be £1 for 20 balls and 20 credits for £15. Apparently the vat change forced them to put prices up. Srixon range balls.

Another local range is £2.75 for 40. Battered Pinnacle range balls.

Neither have grass, matts only.

 

[malek988]

Mine is 3 quid for 40 or 4 quid for 60 power tee automatic tees load the balls from underneath the mat, which they did 100's

 

[RGDave]

Hedge End in hampshire is about 7.50 for 100 balls...

£7.50.

Too much.

My range put all the prices up. Nobody went any more.

Prices came back down.

Simple.

Power to the people....!

I've got two options.

1st one is cluny, £6 for 100. Cheap balls but they have a big white van to scud in the middle of the range.

2nd one is wells green. Nice restaurant, nice little pro shop and good quality balls. £5.90 for 100.

£6 for 100 balls at the range I go to. Balls are very poor and the floodlights are rubbish. I can see people going elsewhere coming into the darker evenings.

 

[triple_bogey]

£4 for 50 balls.......nice enclosed range but some of the bays are quite small, so you have to wait til a larger bay opens before you practice with the woods/driver.

 

[MembersBounce]

Anything over £6 for 100 balls is a joke really. My other local range, World of Golf on the A20 is about £7.50 for 100. They have a 2 tier range with auto tees but the hitting area is severely uphill and it gets rammed busy in the evenings and at weekends. I don't go there and can't really understand why so many people do.

 

[Slab]

Most round here work out at about £1 per 10 balls so quite dear but not really comparable to uk

 

[ArnoldArmChewer]

Gosling driving range WGC, £2.50 for 25 balls, they are rubbish range balls too!

 

[Kellfire]

Played at Slaley Hall two weeks ago where they charge £1 for 12 balls. Gulp.

 

[One Planer]

I use 2 ranges. 1 near work, purely for convenience which is £4 for 50 balls. They are Srixon range balls as it's a national fitting centre and the facilities are pretty good.

The other is more local to where I live and family run. £4.50 for 100 balls. Balls aren't as good a quality but the range is longer and has more target greens.

 

[Carbon]

£4 for 100 balls at my local range, top flite range balls and not all in great condition! get the odd good ball as our range is just to the left of the 1st tee/fairway. 6 bays undercover and a grass area aswell also have free acess to the putting green and chipping area.

 

[ma_bass]

Was at the belfry yesterday. £5.50 for 50 balls!!!! Very nice range though!

 

[spawn_ukuk]

[JPH]

My local village range is £5 for a "Large bucket" I estimate there is about 50 balls in a large bucket and the balls are shocking. The range is basically in someones back garden, too much land, build range blah blah blah. The bloke who runs it is a really nice guy but sometimes when he needs a break from sitting in the small front room drinking tee and watching BBC all day, he gets his Dad in to help out....his Dad is 98 (I think) and is as deaf as a doorpost....conversation goes a bit like this....

Me: Morning sir (I'm polite to my elders), can I have a large bucket of balls please?

Owners Dad: Ey?

Me: Can I have a large bucket of balls please?

Owners Dad: What?

Me: CAN I HAVE A LARGE BUCKET OF BALLS PLEASE?

Owners Dad: Sorry, sonny, you're going to have to speak up, I'm a bit deaf.

Me: No ****

Owners Dad: What?

Me: (Now really shouting, and I mean proper screaming at the referee shouting) CAN I HAVE A LARGE BUCKET OF BALLS PLEASE?

Owners Dad: Large?

Me: YES!

Owners Dad: (Reaches under desk and pulls out a bucket) £5 please......How's your game going?

Trying to not be rude but had enough of shouting by this point and don't want to get in a conversation, give him the thumbs up, shout PRETTY GOOD! And then disappear off.

This happens, every single time

Don't quite understand how is so busy there as, I agree, the balls are one up from air flow balls! The shop is good though....
