Meant to but never bothered to check what an e-ky cost versus tokens for the driving range buckets. Anyone know?

Don't know the answer but about 6 years ago we put a whole bunch of buckets on our golf key and then my brother in law gave us many after visiting with us. We still have some on ours. They do not run out and I am sure the price has gone up over that many of years.

I can't remember, but it seems like it was substantial, depending on how many buckets you put on the e-key. I have one, and like hpe2bforever, even if you don't use them up right away, you're buying at a cheaper rate when the price increases,which it always does. Also, its just more convenient. I could be wrong, but seem like you save $1 a bucket.

What's E-key?

[Lil Dancer]

Its a little green key that you prepay for buckets of balls at the driving range. you go to the range ball dispenser, stick the key in a slot, and it dispenses the balls. It saves you going into the pro shop to purchase a token for balls, and offers a modest discount depending on how many buckets you have added to the key.

thanks for the info. Sounds like a good thing.

Yes, e-keys can be used at Sarasota Driving Range. By the way, don't forget you must follow the same dress code for this driving range as all other golfing facilities in The Villages. Just because it's on the other side of 466A doesn't mean guys don't have to wear collared shirts.
