I completely agree with a higher end course that can justify a bit higher course rate, but so many smaller local courses are really competing against each other on the price scale. Our course is pretty much in the middle here, price wise, at $24 per 18 holes w/o cart. To be honest, the only thing that keeps us afloat is alcohol sales, lol. There has been some talk of raising prices to match some of the other course's here and make the range free with rounds and might just work, but while we have a solid course our range is pretty ho hum.
I gotcha, I think just mentally I would rather pay $26 for a round and get "free" range balls then pay $24 dollars and not. I don't know why but it makes me feel like a deal. Plus, now everyone "pays" for the range every time that they play. So the guys that choose not to use the range before their round are actually helping out with the costs of maintaining the range without actually using it.
Really? The range at my course (also too short) I get them for $5 for a large bucket of 80 and the big range is $10 for 4 tokens of 30 balls each. I guess ranges are just cheaper here.
Ya, here you get 30 balls for about $8 that was a pretty cheap price IMO.
