Ive never been to a range before but Im planning my first time out. Im trying to figure out how much to plan to spend. There is a $5 new person fee, $12 to use the range, $15 to rent a couple guns ($10 for the first one and $5 for another one), and then the ammo. Im going to be renting a couple 9mm handguns to get a better idea of what I want to make as my first purchase. Also should I call ahead just to make sure they have ammo to buy or do they pretty much always have a supply of the more common kinds of ammo?
How much does ammo go for at a range?

Definitely wanna call ahead and ask. The ammo prices vary for each range. Sometimes, you can wind up paying double for ammo.
Plenty of guys here go there, I am sure one of them will have an idea on ammo cost. You may have to give it a little but someone will know.
I've only heard good things about the place and I just looked at their rental list and there looks to be a few guns I would like to shoot side by side as well. Might have to plan a trip up that way.

Several months ago I paid $32.00 for a box of 50 PPU FMJ ammo since I ran out and I was not ready to leave. I don't know if the price would be the same if you rent a gun. I imagine you will be spending over $100.00 Min if you get 2 box's of ammo.
If you have never been to a gun range before do check with their personnel about the range rules and do practice gun safety since you may have other shooters within 1 1/2 feet of you.
You will enjoy shooting at a range.

Only been there once. Decent place. The staff was great to our party. Can't help you on the ammo though, I never saw the prices.
Just a small tip - their target holders are in the tan shipping containers. Just stroll over to a container and pull one out.
Exactly, many ranges take that as their chance to make some extra cash (not knocking them since they have to stay in business) so def. check a head of time or shop around for prices so when you are there you can make a good decision if you want to pay to shoot the rentals and pay for their ammo.
Their guns, their ammo - it's a liability thing. If anything like the range I visited in Houston, it'll be white box reloads you buy. We were shooting 9mm & I think they were loaded well below factory. I mention this as you are renting to choose a pistol? You need to try with full factory loads. You also need to try at a range where you can at least do doubletap shooting. You don't test drive a Boss Mustang in the parking lot.
