$25 per year per family if over 60, $65 per year if under. Or pay $10 per family per day.
Outdoor range, 10 bays, cover and concrete benches on the two main bays. Two bays 100 yards long, the others shorter. One bay dedicated to steel plates, and another dedicated to pin shoots. Porta-potties. Controlled range, supervised by volunteer ROs.

Without the OP location what we tell him is meaningless and only sounds like bragging or complaining.

I belong to a sporting clays club. It is expensive compared to most ranges. If you just want to shoot sporting clays it is $500. We have another tier that costs $650 to take part in European pheasant shoots and you get hunt quail. We have so few quail left in NC the only hunting opportunity is pen raised quail. We have released thousands of quail. We still cannot get quail established again. Predators are a problem but most of the problem is chemicals that are used in everyday farming operations make bird eggs brittle. 30 years ago it was so easy to get quail started. I released 50 large pen raised quail on my property. The pen raised quail bred with the wild quail. In around 5 years we had giant quail all around this area. Now you never see or hear a quail.

I have a range at home but I belong to 3 ranges as well. The one I use most is mostly for social and shooting events. I belong there because of a pistol competition they do and the banquet held at the end of the year. It was $100 to join and $20 a year after the first year. One of the other clubs I belong to because that is where I "qualify" the other officers in my dept. They give us free membership but I don't like taking things for free. I think it was $50 to join and $20 a year after that. The third club I belong to because they have a 300 yard range and it's only about 10 minutes from my house. It's also $50 to join and $20 after that.

My local range went up to $50 last year. No initiation fee. When you join you pay a one time $5 fee for your key. Not bad in my book and besides it's the only game in town. Next closet range is about 75 miles away.

ZERO, I have my own...

$30 first year initiation fee
$30 / yr for membership
$30 / yr for a guest pass
100 yard range with 8 covered stalls
22 rimfire range with 8 covred stalls
pistol range has 16 covered stalls
Action / training range for pistol calibers
For me that's cheap at double the price since public ranges charge $15 - $30 / hour locally.
I have to drive a little over an hour but it gets me out of Philly for a while so that's a plus.

The local range here is absurdly cheap. $25 single, $40 family. Includes membership to both the outdoor range and indoor pistol range.
The outdoor is a 200 yard range. indoor is 50'. cost for shooting at the indoor is $3 a night.
Ours relies heavily on volunteer help to keep it going. In addition, there's nothing too fancy out there. the outdoor range is simply 8 shooting tables and a couple 4x8 sheets at 25, 50, 75, 100 and 200 yards one set of 4 on each side of the range. The indoor range is very simplsitic as well. 10 lanes and the backstop is simple angled steel into a sand pit, so we cannot use magnum rounds. Even hot 40 and 9mm rounds actually damage the steel. It was originally created in the 80s for bullseye competition when all that got shot at it was soft lead, usually under 900fps.
I have tried several times at meetings to suggest upgrading the systems, and have worked the math out based on our membership. I even found some assistance from the local community and other groups with donating contracting labor and even some of the improved steel needed to hold up to hotter rounds. the LEO community also expressed an interest if we could upgrade the range to their needs for training. Right now, they practice outdoors.
Sadly, there are some (I won't call them the old timers, but they do make up a large percentage of the group) that are just plain out of touch with the reality of todays costs for things. everyone complains that the ventilation system and the backstop needs to be upgraded -(and it does!) but when shown the increase to $75 a year and $10/night + $0.25/target for shooting. they literally become unhinged, and the meeting descends into chaos.
but guess who are the first to complain again at the next meeting about lighting and the ventilation..and why no one does anything about it. *sigh*

For anything under 150 yards, I use my backyard. Anything farther than that, our rifle range where I live is free. Of course, it's not very well kept since nobody works there. It's pretty much just a field with a backstop.

These threads always make me a bit jealous. 
25 yard indoor range for $285 a year. Cheapest within 50 miles. At least it's a decent range with friendly staff.

It's crept up from $50/yr 20 yrs ago, to $100/yr now. Used to be after 20 years you became a life member & didn't have to pay dues anymore. Somewhere along the line, that got changed to 25 years. I have 5 more to go

In SW Ohio there isn't much choice at all. Indoor ranges are expensive, outdoor ranges tend to be members-only deals that cost a HUGE amount of money AND/OR require existing members to vouch for the potential member.

Our local range is free, but its small and all self service. 25, 50, 75, 100, 200, and 300 yard targets. Plus a shotgun patterning board and an informal trap/skeet range. It belongs to the local gun shop. I try to help out by sweeping up and last year I bought a new staple gun and help with occasional maintanence issues.
I have never even seen an actual trap/skeet range in my life.

$100 a year for family, $75 for single. There is talk of increasing the fees by $25 a year for either type of membership.
We have a clubhouse with an indoor pistol range and indoor archery range. There are three outdoor pistol ranges behind the the clubhouse. The outdoor rifle range has 25, 50, 100 and 200 yard target stands and berms, all benches are covered, two are actually inside a small building with a wood stove.
There is an outdoor archery range with targets at 10, 20, 30, 40 and 50 yards. Also a 3D archery range set up on trails through the woods.
A skeet field is also available for use at scheduled times.
Range fees are $3 per range, unlimited time. Ranges are monitored by cameras that record 24/7.
Pheasants are raised in a large outdoor enclosure and the catch and release pond is there for those who may wish to fish.
It is a great place to belong to and the fees are affordable to almost anyone.
