The simplest answer is practice, practice and practice. It is true, but the quality of the practice is most important. Not knowing exactly how you currently hit your irons makes answering this question much more difficult. So I will go through a suggested routine.
When I go to the range, I start my practice hitting a wedge. I just swing the club to get used to the weight and then start to hit balls at a specific target. After I get comfortable, I go to an 8 iron again hitting at a specific target. Then I hit a 6 iron going with the same routine. As I go through this progression with each club, I am looking for specific results as well. I know the distance I can hit with every club in my bag and I also know how accurate I am with each club. So my goal is to match my accuracy and distance with each club. It doesn't always work, some days are better than others. However, it is a system that I have used for 25 years and it works for me. I am a +2 handicap, not bad for an old guy.
Get yourself into a routine that is comfortable for you and stick with it. The consistency in hitting your clubs should improve and you will find that by using a specific regimen it will carry through to the course as well. If you have difficulty establishing a routine, consult a PGA Professional for a few lessons. I believe that by using a routine, you should see lower scores and more consistency.

When u go to the driving range use irons only. Especially short irons, they are the ones that give you the most accuracy. Stand more over the ball keep body still, back straight and stay behind the ball. Its not hard when you get used to hit. Drop this driver non sense and put that club away for along time.

Mid and long irons are the hardest part of the game. With bad lies, up hill, down hill, side hill, iron play can be very difficult. Most of your problem is probably with bad lies. You get over the ball and it just doesn’t look right, and feels uncomfortable. Bad swings usually follow.
My advice is to practice on bad lies and out of the rough. Start with you wedges.
Also get a hybrid or two.
A 3 iron out of the deep stuff is impossible; with a hybrid I have a chance.
Mostly, play more golf, its always the best practice.

A golf iron? Is this in contrast to a flat iron, a steam iron, an iron bar, or iron man? Just for clarity's sake.
