Local course in SoCal redid their range and these are the new prices.. Told them it seemed expensive, they replied back with “everything is expensive”.
this isn’t that out of the ordinary for southern california but if they don’t have a trackman in every bay there is no excuse for these prices.

I joined a club years ago, so I haven’t paid for a bucket of balls since the pre-covid days, but this is inline with what I recall paying. I think my range charged $18 for 120, or something along those lines.

Lmfao the structure is insane 7 dollars for $20 balls between small and medium then 50 balls for $5 between medium and large.
BattletoadRash
The price for a medium doesn’t make sense. Better to get 2 smalls
SportsBallBurner
That’s on par with the local trackman ranges
ExponentialHS
Medium cost more per ball than Small. Says a lot about how little thought they put into this
Ugarbro
Every range by me is so over priced. Anywhere from 18-20 a large basket
gothcowboyangel
My local range just gives you a Coors bucket full for $5. Reckon that’s at least 100
l2angle
That better be some crisp pro v1 coming outbid that machine
Can’t argue with that response tho lmao

thats on par with my local muni which has some pretty reasonable greens fee’s.
also just about double what it was 20 years ago.

Ever since Covid, popular ranges can charge twice what they used to. Shit, they almost *have* to overcharge, just to keep too many people from going there and overloading the facility.
I agree it’s sad but those prices look slightly cheap for So Cal, post-Covid.

I’m paying $8 for 30 at my club.

These prices are a little better than what I pay at the range I go to in WI.

This looks normal

Looks like Select Pi! The software used on a lot of range machines. I’ve heard my course is going to dynamic range prices it’s going to be expensive this year.

The jump in price and balls from 50-100 is fd.
However my local municipality purchased all brand new golf balls last year and within a month over 3/4 of them had disappeared. They had to bring out the garbage golf balls to cover the season.
So more than likely, thieves and jerks are ruining this for everyone and not all the courses fault.

It’s why building my own simulator was the best investment ever. Big upfront cost, but I’ve more than paid it off when I factor in not buying range balls + gas/time getting to the range
Lord777alt
That’s insanity
Ok_Pause2547
seems pretty standard here in so cal tbh. I only know one course around that charges less than $20 for a large bucket and I feel like I’ve played most munis around so cal from absolute dog tracks to higher end

10 out of 30 will be cracked

I can pay 16.00 for a jumbo bucket OR 25.00/ hour on the tracman with unlimited balls. That’s pretty good my area. western NY.

11 for small bucket here

This is why people steal range balls

Garage sim looking like a better investment every day

That is more expensive than here in San Francisco, at a nice range with TopTracer
Miravek
Which course is this?

I can’t imagine hitting more than 50 balls in a session. 160? That would take me all day.

Regional Australia $12 for 45 balls, it’s the only one I know of so I am not sure how that compares.

This is why I don’t practice and just play lol

That’s why I do a combo of…
Local course weekday membership, 100 bucks a month and one perk is unlimited range, and…
…my simulator in my garage, 300 bucks a year membership and all the range (and a few dozen courses) time from a mat I could ever want.

Damn the spot I go to is 200 Balls for $15

This reminds me of a local course. It was cheaper to buy 2 small buckets than 1 large so I would do that and just put it all in a large bucket. Guy in the club house got super pissed at me for doing that

honestly, in NJ those prices are typical at a range with decent facilities.

Ok

Same pricing structure as my league course. Play 20 weeks and TOTAL COST is less than if we play 17 weeks. Geniuses running the place.

It’s a lot

If I had any other option, I would use it. I’m in Minnesota and a local range tried that. Everyone boycotted and they reduced pricing.

Medium bucket more per ball than small is wild
