The ranking

How this ranking is made

For each range we divide the price of its largest general bucket by the number of balls the range states, then take the median for the city. Ranges that do not state a ball count are left out.

Every price comes from a listing on Range and Putt and was read on the venue's own website or its operator's, which each listing links to with the date we checked it. Prices change, so confirm with the venue before you go. Ties share a rank. See the full method and every city's figures in the price index.
