Living in the Northeast, the greens fees drop drastically in November. What are the average prices around the area that you have encountered.
I have normally seen $35-$40 for 18 holes now-a-days. That is surprisingly high. I drive by some of these sourses a few times a day and never see anyone out there... Wouldn't it behoove the club to drop prices a litte more?

The place I play most of the time is $28 during the summer and $15 during the winter.

As far as the higher priced places, they probably figure since no one is coming out, they better keep the price up to make up for it (more money per person that does show up).

In Kohler, WI the Whistling Straights and Blackwolf Run courses offer excelent deals in November.

Of course the close the two nicer courses, The Straights (2004 & 2010 PGA Championship course) and the River @ Blackwolf Run.

However, The Irish at the Strights course is only $55 dollars walking, normally $155 and the Meadow Valleys @ Blackwolf Run is also only $55, normally $155.

Other than that golf generally gets about 25% cheaper in the cold months in Wisconsin.

The local muni (metro Detroit) has dropped about ten bucks, and will drop to ten bucks for 9 or 18 (doesn't make sense I know) when the temp drops down in the 30s and they put the carts away for the winter. Guess you get a free nine if you can brave the cold

Fewer daylight hours available means more competition for the tee times - prices here stay about the same. I did get a $40 tee time Sunday which includes a cart and a hamburger.

What I have seen is that higher-end places that are a little out of the way are quietly dropping prices through email specials. With gas up and a slow economy, those places are hurting. I played a *fantastic* course in Hollister, CA for $49 yesterday.

I would think course maintenance would be a little harder in the winter, because of more course damage, since it's usually wetter.

Is it cheaper to play a round in the States, or in Canada? From what I am hearing Canada is much more expensive. Even the average course will cost you about $40+/person during the summer. This course is nothing special, and $40 is considered cheap. The cheapest round I've ever had was $12 for a 9 and it was a par 3.

Well where I'm starting to play between May 1st and November 1st it cost $29 during the week, and $38 on weekends.

From November 2nd to April 30th it changes to $20 during the week and $26 on weekends.

That being said even during the season it only cost me $20 during the week, and $25 on weekends since I'm a junior (18 or under).

This time of the year (November-March) is peak season in the Palm Springs area.
I love the weather but I'll take the 110F heat of summer on empty courses at $20-$40 a round over crowded courses and $$$ greens fees that winter brings.

Same here. Rates go up in November and generally come back down in April here in Orlando. Trying to get some money out of the snow birds I think. I guess that is what we get for being able to play year round.

played "super twilight" yesterday.. $15 and we got 9 holes in. Probably could have fit in 2 more but that would have taken us far away from the clubhouse and it would have been a walk back in the dark.

Matt - Which course is that? I've been trying to play the last two weeks and the weather has sucked.

Whats an off season fee? JK, but we don't have those as we really don't have an off season. We just have a colder season and a hotter season.

      ShotScope LM1 ($200 Launch Monitor/Speed Radar)

      By Shindig · Posted

      I have been debating getting a launch monitor of some sort, if only so I can re-figure my shot zones (I haven't actually mapped them in years) and also to practice distance wedges at home.  I have to see if this works with either my current setup, or what my setup would be if I move it to the garage.

      PGA Tour Makes Sweeping Changes Starting in 2028

      By Shindig · Posted

      Well, this is interesting.  I think we discovered a few months ago that I haven't been following professional golf in a while (my confusion about Scotty's footwork confirmed that), so at least as I aim to follow a bit more I'll get something new to learn with all of you.  My very quick read of Erik's summary makes me think this new Challenger series fits somewhere between Korn Ferry and the Championship (not Champions, but I know I'm going to make that mistake a few times if I'm not careful!).   My recollection is that there were already second-tier events among the PGA Tour;  the Bob Hope didn't have the same quality of field as the event at Riviera (whose current name I forget, although now that I say that, I realize the Palm Springs event hasn't been called the Bob Hope in a few years either).   With the absence of the FedEx (if I'm reading that correctly), does that mean no more FedEx Cup at all? Hopefully I'll have time later in 2026 to sit down and see what we're in for in 2027, where one of my goals already is to follow more professional golf.

      PGA Tour Makes Sweeping Changes Starting in 2028

      By iacas · Posted

      The highlights as I see them: Championship and Challenger Series The creation of the PGA Tour and the PGB Tour, in the words of Joel Dahmen a few years ago. They're calling them the Championship Series (23-24 events) and the Challenger Series (20+ events). Both run February to August. They feel this will achieve three things: increasing the consistency and quality of fields across the season creating a clear system for players to earn and retain status and delivering a more structured and competitive experience for fans and partners—all in an effort to strengthen meritocracy. Championship Series Structure and Eligibility The 23-24 events includes the Players, majors, season-ending events, and the Presidents Cup and Ryder Cup. These will be 72-hole events with a 36-hole cut to the top 65 and ties and purses of $20M+. 120 players without an alternate list. 90 players (roughly) from the previous year and 20 players promoted from the Challenger Series. Full eligibility will be finalized later this year. Sites (cities) to be finalized soon, but 10 of the 15 courses have already been determined. Postseason: includes retention and relegation and concludes with match play. The Tour Championship will also be played across a rotation of prestigious courses. Challenger Series Structure and Eligibility 20+ events. Running concurrently. Will feature players fighting their way back to the Championship Series or players graduating and on the upswing from the Korn Ferry Tour. Many of these events will be current PGA Tour courses. About 7 of the Challenger Series events will be during off weeks for the Championship Series with elevated purses and visibility. Purses of at least $4M, with cuts similar to the Champ series. 144 player fields. Competitive Fields for Both Series Players will be eligible for only one series at a time: Championship Series Players are not eligible for Challenger Series events. Championship Series members will have a known schedule with all events having the same eligibility. Players and Majors will have their own eligibility criteria. Championship Series players don't have to play all events. This begs the question about, say, the Canadian Open, and other "home-town" events that players might want to play, even if they're Challenger Series events. Will releases be granted? Promotion and Relegation At least 90 players will be retained in the Championship Series, and 20 players will be promoted from the Challenger Series each year. Battlefield promotion for two-time winners from the Challenger Series. Players relegated from the Championship Series will have a "last chance" opportunity to retain status, or will go to the Challenger Series. Criteria will be finalized before the start of the 2027 season. Points System New points system (not FedExCup points). Separate points systems for the Championship and Challenger Series. Elevated points in the Challenger Series for off-weeks on the Championship Series. More details tk. Elevated International Events in the Fall The fall schedule will include a limited series of elevated international events with top players from the Championship Series, with the intent to deliver in partnership with the DP World Tour as part of the Strategic Alliance. Last Chance Series The Tour will develop a “last chance” series of 4-6 events in the fall, with a limited number of spots on the Championship Series available for top finishers. Eligibility will include players relegated from the Championship Series, Challenger Series players, and other categories to be determined. Q-School continues, as do the Korn Ferry Tour and PGA Tour Latinoamerica. Also, Brian Rolapp is the new commissioner as of January 1, 2027.
