For me, focusing on one swing key and not worrying about the results gets the job done well...do you guys have any good tips for taking your 'driving range swing' to the course?

By not having 2 different swings. Your driving range work has to be thought of as your course swing by putting pressure on yourself at the range. The course swing needs to be relaxed as if you were at the range. -

Create a routine at the range that you take to the course: Don’t just blast balls. Take time to set up, check your posture, waggle, etc. You need to create consistency at the range so it can transfer to the course.
Visualization: Just blasting away at nothing does no good. If it’s Wednesday, and I’m at the range, and I know what course I am playing Saturday, I like to hit shots that I know will have on that course. For example; let’s say you know you need to hit 2 of your tee shots with a 3 wood with a little draw. Trouble on the right, fairway turns left. I’ll pick a yardage sign that signifies the “trouble.” I want my shot to start just left of that trouble and continue to draw left. If you have 3 really tight fairways, but you want to hit driver, then pick 2 yardage signs that equal the width of the fairway. Then, obviously, try to land your drive between the two signs. Hit your go-to shot (power fade, draw, dead straight, low stinger).
Alternate Clubs: Goes along with the visualizations. Take the scorecard of your favorite course and “play” it. Factor in missed greens and all. It’s kinda fun. Helps if your range has flags or greens. Also helps if you can move around the range to get different looks. In golf, you almost NEVER hit the same club twice in a row, except your putter and MAYBE a wedge from time to time.
To me, its all about routine and hitting actual golf shots. Not just "spraying and praying." If you are going to spend the $10 for a large bucket, get something out of it.Comment
