Weekend, Peak: 65-80

First of all... I'm in the Charlotte, NC area... and prices vary a great deal.

walking a muni type course...
$12-20 weekdays
$15-25 weekends
add about $10-15 for a cart

nicer public courses...
$30-50 to ride during the week
$50-85 to ride on weekends

of course we have twilight specials, college discounts, ladies days, etc.

One place walking 18 holes weekday = 27
My favorite place walking 9 holes = 27............


New York for you.

You guys have it so freakin easy!!! ARGH!!

My home course, which isn't all that great is:

Weekdays: 36/walk 50/ride
Friday/Weekend: 46/walk 60/ride

www.santateresagolf.com

Now, the course is decent, but if I want to step up to something a little better, and this is by no means top notch:

weekdays: 60/walk 80/ride
friday/weekend: 90/walk 105/ride

[Prairie Golfer]

$18-25 for 18 holes walking

[JCDot33]

nine is about $20 walking ...
18 can range anywhere from $21-$65 walking depending on Weekday/Weekend/Twilight ... but that is the Seacoast of NH for you ... it's kinda expensive up here ...

15mins away - Woburn Golf Club - about £140
and the pro? try Ian Poulter!

One downfall to golf year round is that the prices are way up in those areas

[Comeback City]

There's five courses in my county ($35 for a County card) and there's good variation. Public obviously. Here's the prices:
$22-$32 weekday, $17-$22 twilight
$27-$42 weekend, $22-$32 twilight

The more expensive prices are for this one private course that the county bought, so it's a bit nicer. A gas cart is $24 or $12 twilight and pull carts are $5.

It's awesome being 15. Junior Rates.

Bay Path - $20
Heritage - $20
Quail Hollow - $16
Bedrock - $30
Leicester CC - $15
Pine Ridge - $20
Kettlebrook - $20 monday-thursday (awesome course)
Blissful Meadows - $20 (awesome course)

The only course that isn't great is Bay Path.

[joshiemac25]

4 courses within 12 miles. Anywhere from $20-30 walking and $35-$50 with a cart.

Northern New York (Potsdam/Canton)

I don't know how some of you guys can afford to play regularly at those rates.

I'm on a military post here in Alabama, and even for civilians the rates are quite low: $20 for 18 on a weekday, $22 on a weekend. I pay $715/year for a membership that gets me unlimited greens fees. I never use a cart, but that's another $12.

Up until a few months ago I was living in Boston. The cheapest courses I played around there were roughly $25-30 for 18 holes. I thought that was expensive. Other places I've played in Oklahoma, South Carolina, and Texas were all cheaper.

I'm sure that none of the courses I play are great, but they are championship length and good enough for me.

I don't know how some of you guys can afford to play regularly at those rates.

Yeah even the "reasonable" $40 weekend with a cart gets out of hand if you want to play both days on a weekend. My home course is $40 with a cart but $150 a month membership gets unlimited greens/carts 7 days/wk so I just show up and play. Even if it's about to get dark when I get off work I'll still go play the first 2 holes until I can't see. No way I could justify $25 an evening (twilight rate) even if I did have the time so the membership really helps...

[pshizz]

depends up here in boston. I can play shitty courses for around 20 bucks, but i usually dont, because i have a membership to one. Nice courses such as granite links and pinehills and farm neck on the vineyard cost around 100-170 depending on the time etc. I get to play wicked nice courses like ones mentioned above for very cheap in junior tournaments, around 35-45, it depends.

Germany:

Weekday: 45€ for 18 walking
Weekend: 55-60 € for 18 walking

At the moment 45€ equals 60 $

[mkrolewski]

We have fewer private courses in the great NW.

Generally $30-$40 per round (walking) for many courses especially the munis and the older courses. However you can get up there. Chambers Bay, Tacoma is $170 on the weekend, $140 on weekday. There are several courses in the $50-100 range.

Most courses do not have any season passes or the like. A few have punch cards.

The only smart thing may be to take advantage of the twilight rates. Due to our latitude, dusk is as late as 10PM. So going off at 3PM still leaves you a good chunk of time to complete a round.

Golf in MA ~
Weekday: 40 bux to walk +18 for cart on close to the cheapest courses.
Weekend: 45 bux to walk + 18 cart

Golf in NY ~
Weekday: 36 bux to walk + 16 cart
Weekend: 40 bux to walk + 16 cart

I play the cheapest courses I can. In Atlanta, i had a course I played which was 12.50 for 18 holes with student rate. Those were the days.
