Paid $90 for 18 @ Chambers Bay in Tacoma, WA.

My first and only links golf experience. Paid $90 to have the course make me look like a fool.

Yes, I would do it again.


Payed $150 to play Cabo Del Sol during my honeymoon about 12 years ago. Payed over $100 many times, but I play so much free golf it doesn't kill me to shell out some cash when to opportunity to play somewhere nice presents itself.

$180 to play the K-Club in dublin out of season.

Was a mistake, but I was on vacation so meh.

Next time im in Ireland I would rather spend that money on a links course.  Aside from the name/Ryder cub being there, the K-Club wasn't very spectacular.


About $100 at Turning Stone Casino resort (Shenandoah)....best course I've ever played but expensive for my taste..


I think I've paid more, some place, and don't remember where, but I paid $60 to play Troon North in Scotsdale, one hot August day.  For sure, one of the nicest courses I've been on.

I love to hate this game!

$225 - Spyglass, Bandon Dunes

Spyglass - ice plants.

Bandon - wind.

Back in 2000 I was in San Fran for a job interview & I stayed a couple extra days, having never been there before. I paid $85 to play Half Moon Bay. I loved it so much I went back the next day & paid another $85 to play it.


Paid about $250 for St Andrews, and about the same for Carnoustie the following year.

Carnoustie is the better course but St Andrews for the atmosphere nails it by miles.


$140 Rio Secco - once in a lifetime destination course

Same here.  I try to catch the fall twilight rate but it's tough because they start so late that it's tough to finish the course before dark unless your foursome is hitting well.  I have a wedding at Turning Stone this year and am looking forward to a round at Shenandoah or Kaluhyat as part of the festivities.

$350 or so to play Whistling Straits - Straits course.  The course was immaculate, and had a great time.  Pete Dye is one cruel designer though.  You miss in the wrong spot and you will pay for it.

    • Day 167 - 2025-03-16 Hit balls after a long day. Junior Elite and a few lessons. Meh.
    • It kinda is… and Tiger isn't super young anymore. You're missing the fact that Tiger changed the game. Golfers put far more strain and stress on their bodies now than they did fifty freaking years ago. The sport is different now. It's faster, and you have to be significantly better now to even make it to the PGA Tour let alone stay there than you did in Jack's day.
    • Well, at least it got fixed & you’ll be back nonetheless. 
    • Day 5 March 16th, 2025 Went to the range for about an hour. Worked on backswing and downswing piece. Finally got to making shorter backswings. Feeling like the swing stops when hips get to hip height. That is more of a feeling for how much the hands move, the hands get closer to A3-A3.5. 
    • Seems like Jack was pretty "old" when he won his last Masters. And Gary Player is still playing, despite being a fitness freak all his life. Years ago, Cary Middlecoff stated that Tiger was going to have back problems after he reached the age of 30, due to the body torque he used in his swing. But Tiger has also had plenty of issues with the rest of his body. And the car crash certainly didn't help. Has any golfer been as "injury prone" as Tiger?
