I have a chance to play Laredo Country Club in Laredo, Tx....however its 86$ plus tax for 18 with a cart....theres another course in Laredo but it is in TERRIBLE shape...dirt fairways, terrible greens...25$ +tax with cart....played it twice and its not even worth 25$.....thinking of playing the private country club for 86$...just be nice to play a good course since theres 3 feet of snow where im from right now lol

40 euro (60 dollars) is the most I've paid.
I went with a society at play Lahinch. It's normally 100 euro to play but they were doing a special offer since there was a lot of us going out.
Worth every penny. I'd have paid more if I had to.

I can certainly sympathize with the snow comment. The most I have paid to play was Glen Abbey and TPC Myrtle Beach. I believe the Abbey was about 250 and the TPC course was about the same as when I played it our Monopoly money wasn't worth much green back. I am seriously contemplating playing TCP Sawgrass in a couple of weeks while I am down in Florida. I think it's about $350-375.

$86 isn't really that much to play a nice course. There are a couple of courses here I have paid $100 to play. But I guess it's all relative as to how much you have to spend.

I payed about $150 to play a resort course in Costa Rica. It was a really nice course, plus a cart and rental clubs were included, plus there weren't many other courses around. I would pay more than that to play any of these courses.

I'm a cheap golfer, so most of the time I'm looking for coupons and other deals. As for the question, I would say $69 at this course (that was with $20 off). It's a nice course and was pretty tough (I think I shot 84 or 85). Most courses I play for $35-45 including discounts (usually play mornings) -- that's about as cheap as you can get around here unless you want to drive 45 minutes west. Some of the other nice courses I've played have been part of some golf vacation package, so I don't know the normal rates.

I just remembered, I played in Hawaii when out there for work 7 years ago or so. It was about $125 (plus another $25 for club rental of some nice Callaways), but my boss picked up the tab. :) That course was one of the toughest I've ever played, but had some of the most gorgeous holes I've even seen. I just looked it up: here . Haha... googling a little more, this beast is rated as one of the toughest in the U.S (152 slope from the tips!). All I can remember was getting a par 5 on the ridiculously difficult 18th (two 200+ yard carries over this ravine) with 3 great shots and a 2-putt from 8 feet to shoot 99 (and I thought I was playing pretty well). So many lost balls... if you hit it in the rough, it seemed like a 50/50 chance that you'd actually find it (never mind hitting it in the jungle). Quite humbling...

thanks for the replies...i feel me paying 86$ is now justifiable lol....what the hell right :) no one said golf is a cheap sport!

$80 is the highest. Don't have that many expensive courses where I live. Got some on the other side of the country, but yeah, it's on the other side of the country.

$500 for 18 holes, that is like two brand new, high tier drivers.

I paid $60 to play a practice round for districts. It's an alright course, but there wasn't a junior fee, so I was pissed.

I get a lot of discounts since I'm a minor.

$235 for Aviara in Carlsbad, CA - that was during the 2007 US Open, so not sure if the Four Seasons had some price gouging going on...

    • Day 238: played 18. Back 9 was pretty good after a rough front 9. Then worked a bit after the round at the range, just firming up some feels. 
    • Day 6 (15 Mar 25) - Played in local course’s 2man captain’s choice St Patrick’s Day tournament.  Great day of working closely with my teammate on course management process.  
    • Certainly BUY used so many near new Drivers in Good condition that will suit ...which IMHO the shaft is the most important part if you want to buy new get a shaft new that suits you then find the head you like the feel off 
    • I found being part of a Great Golf Club renewed my love for the game and comps ..previously at my other club I was just a player with novice player mates or solo .and that was hard to progress and drive the passion when my job was very restrictive to playing in good weather and friends couldn't play as much...  that become a grind at times and gave up the game for couple years..but now work for myself and have clear goals and new GC with serious players ongoing comps and great course I can pretty much always get on .. some great Golfing friends I made playing in the weekly comps ..I'm loving it..  Still get down on my game and can walk off gutted ..but thats the game we wouldn't love the good round if we never had bad rounds So for me maybe dropping the pressure of the HC grind and more so enjoy playing comps with others serious on the game ...understand the game is hard ,enjoy the good times and your game will develop ... 
    • Big week of Golf nursing golfing elbow ....played local amazing course Arrowtown tuesday ..had a tidy 81 for what I felt wasn't my best Golf in some wet windy conditions found the greens tough to read and gave away many shots... three birdies Played my local GC wed STB mens comp... very rough whole game not happy 89 just felt tired made so many mistakes max 4-holes I played well the rest rubbish to woeful ... Friday played south of my local Alexandra in a 4ball with my mates (we have a comp same partners over the year) played pretty well after not even hitting my 3wood past the ladies tee on the 1st hole ...very slow greens to what I usually played so we made gimmes within 2ft ,,,, couple birdies .. Wasn't going play ..but wife wasn't stressed so joined into the SAT Medal comp ..teed off early .. had some brilliant holes and shots some of my best .. birdied 3x ..78 for the day gave me a 7th in SNR division. putting let me down had a 4x putt on 3rd hole PAR3 ... along with 6+ three putts ... what could have been  Now looking over the above I'm sure many thinking go sort ya putting ya idot .. but couple weeks previously I played three comps .. out of those three I only had one 3x putt my best 24 putts over a round  ... but my driver off the tee was rubbish ..
