is your friend allowed to follow you to go golf but not play?

lets say that i go golfing with a friend of mine and my girlfriend wants go follow along only to watch.

would she have to pay a green fee to step on to the course?

If you are riding in a cart most courses will charge her the cart fee. If you are walking then most courses wont care.

I would call the course.  I know of some courses that won't allow it because of liability issues.  You would have a better chance if you went at a time when the course was less busy.

Are you going to play 9 or 18?  If it is her first time I would recommend only doing 9.  She will be more likely to enjoy and not get bored in 2 hours then 4 or 5.  If she has a good time you could try 18 but if if you do 18 to start and she gets tiered of it after 2 or 3 hours chances are you will never get her back out.

Why the hell...oh, never mind.

Cart fee for sure....at least around here

Ask her to meet you at the 19th hole ... it's best.

Pretty sure most courses have a spectator fee - that, like mentioned above, probably closely matched half the cart fee. $10 or $15.

But I'm with Mr. Desmond.  If she's not into golf then she's better off meeting you afterwards.  There's nothing very exciting about following around a bunch of cruddy golfers (no offense) for 4 hours.  I sense several "Honey, this is boring!!! :(((" comments in your future.

Good luck.

Dang, I was hoping this was a Gilberg thread, but yeah this^^^

Depends on the course. I have a friend, older guy that can't golf anymore, tag along all the time. He enjoys being on the course and he does stuff, tend flag, grab wedges etc. Sometimes I bring him along as a designated driver. I don't take the chance with even one or two beers, not worth the hassle. I pay a fee for him if the course requires it.
