One of the ranges I go to has a pretty nice array of trap and skeet stations with push button launchers, covered tables etc..

The price is 20 cents per clay with the counters automatically registering in the office.

Is this a good price?

I'm by far a novice shotgunner but I do enjoy the sport.

Would a gun club of some sort save me some money?

The place I go most of the time is $15.00 per 50 target round. That's $.30 per target, although if you are shooting in a league it's a little cheaper. I think they also offer a membership which may knock a buck or so off per round. They've also got some tickets that get punched for each round, so after a while you can get a free one.

$.20/target sounds pretty decent to me.
 
Practice at my local club is a mere $5 - for a 2 x 25 bird session..... very good indeed ... and we have voice activated system for each station .... and oh my - does that launcher have a large carousel!!:) - pretty good I'd say.

Another club, where regretably the local authority (prolly full of tree-huggers) ...... has banned lead .. we have to use steel and there now it costs $8 per 25, trap or skeet ... now that is getting pricey!! The local club I can use homeloads and so my shooting there is very cheap. No skeet regretably but we do shoot sporting and in the large space the club has, that presents some real challenges.
 
Both the ranges I go to charge $5.00 a round (25 birds). So that figures up to .20 a bird. The bummer is they only have trap ranges, no skeet or sporting clays.
 
I need to change my answer. I had skimmed the original question and was thinking sporting clays.

Around here, trap and skeet are generally $5.00/25 targets.

I think some of the best bang for the buck (literally) is 5-stand, which is 25 targets for $7.50. The variety of presentations can make it really quite challenging... like sporting clays without the walking.
 
Our local gun club charges $4.50 for non members and 3.50 for members per round of Skeet or Trap. Sporting clays is 10 for members and 12 for non.

I shoot two rounds of Trap last night and had a great time.

Managed to drag on of my co workers with me, and he said "hey let's go again next week".

Our club here is $4.50 for non-members and $3.50 for members for shooting skeet and trap birds, and$5.00 for five stand sporting clays. Pretty decent prices, but the club members volunteer to run the club.
 
2.50 for a round of trap/skeet/scrap/ or wobble skeet at the club i belong to for members, non members 4.50.
I'm still wish it was 2.00
 
Buying a book of 10 trap/skeet tickets at PGC costs $32. Wobble, Bunker, and 5 stand are more expensive. SC is very much so.
