What do you pay to walk 9 in the morning?

[Fat Slice]

I am thinking about doing a regular early-bird (6am) 9 hole walk. I am a little dismayed at the price, though! What do you pay for a (usually back) 9, early morning walking rate? This should be for 9 holes of an 18 hole course, not a 9-hole exec course

[beisenhauer]

Ranges from $11-$14 on a weekday at the courses I frequent around here.

Closest muni (very well kept) to me is $14 to walk 9 and $3 discount if you present a Golf Association of Michigan membership card, anytime. I usually do it Friday evening.

Nothing... membership has it's perks!

It really depends on the course, but there are several in my area that weekday non-twilight hours would be $13-15 for 9. Weekends are always more (~+$5) and evenings cheaper (~-$3). What was the price you were dismayed at?

Golf isn't cheap. The largest obstacle to improving is financing it.

You either have to join somewhere or find the free hitting areas where you can usually hit a 9 iron or PW using your own balls.

There are three courses, all about 20 minutes from me, and they are all $20 for walking the back 9 at 6am.

$20 for walking the back 9 at 6am.

That does sound steep, my league plays nine and we get a cart to go with that $20. Of course Northern California is more expensive than the the midwest. If you are planning to do it regularly maybe you could work out a non-membership deal with them...

i think its like 12 bucks where i play

[MackJL06]

18$ to walk 9 or 18$ to walk 18

The course I play doesn't offer different rates for different times of the day. It costs $15 to walk 9, but often times I have a coupon for $5 off of greensfees.

As a member, I only pay the trail fee of $2.00 per nine.

Starting this coming Tuesday, I'll be playing nine before work every week. It costs $9 per 9 holes. 7:14 tee time. Earliest is 7am.

I haven't seen any dawn rates around here but I found something odd the other day. I took off work early and booked a tee time online with last minute golf around 12 noon for 25 bucks. That's 18 holes with a cart and about 10 cheaper than normal. I was playing single so I got paired up with another single who was just playing 9. I asked him how much was it to play 9 holes during the week and it's 5 dollars MORE than the 18 hole rate.

He ended up clipping a coupon from the golf newspaper in the clubhouse that gets you 18 holes and a sleeve of balls for a few dollars more than 9 holes. So he got that and just left after 9.

I just don't understand the mentality of charging more for less I guess.

I have always wanted to try to wake up early & play 9 before work. Most of the time I just play 9 after work during the week & 18 on the weekends.

At my regular course, it's $15 for 9 holes Mon - Thur, then $17 for 9 holes Fri - Sun.

I don't really know if they have a different rate for going first thing in the morning. I tried making a tee time to see what the earliest I could get on would be ... but their online system is pretty crappy so I didn't get an answer on that.

My normal work hours are 7:30am - 4:30pm so that I can play 9 after work.

Are you guys tired all day for having waken up so early to golf? I bet you can play pretty quickly in the morning ... or are there alot of other people that have the same idea as you? Do you also play 9 after work or is once a day good enough?

16$ or 14$ for a full 18. neither of the courses i frequent have a nine hole fee.

Just the opposite - I am energized all day from the morning golf.

I am less interested in golfing another 9 or 18 after work if I go in the morning. That's doesn't mean I won't go, though!

at two of the local courses i play, you pay one green fee for the entire day. if you want a cart, you pay for however many times you go around, but just to walk, $12 (at both courses after tax) will cover you from dawn til dusk the same as it would cover just playing the back nine once through.
