Playing Great Courses and Ways to get Deals

[FLOG 4]

Looking to initiate a dialogue regarding ways to play Top Courses and also ways to procure discounts at courses.  Please share an idea or two.  I'll start by providing avenues I have utilized to garner teetimes at Top Courses.

1] eBay- Did you know eBay has a section for teetimes?  People travel and get rained out and have no intention of returning. They sell their voucher. You will find some interesting options at eBay. Many other types of play are offered too.

2] Charitybuzz- This site sells all types of goods and services on behalf of Charities.  You will find plenty of options to play at nice places as well as playing with celebrities and such.

3] Biddingforgood- Another Charity site with golf options.

4] EZlinks- This is a teetime service that has times at a great many courses. Many maybe right in your area. They are discounted too.

5] Golfnow- This teetime service has a substantial list of courses. If you can wait till 24-48 hours prior you can typically get the best discounts.

6] Boxgroove- This service requires a paid entrance. But it provides access to a great many private courses.  This may be a great way to play places you wouldn't think you could.

That's a very good start to a number of ways you may be able to play Great Courses.  Also you might find an avenue to a discount or two.  Utilizing these above websites I have been able to get onto Galloway National, Black Diamond, Wannamoisett, Huntsville, Philly CC and others.....I have seen but not acquired Olympic Club, San Francisco CC, Winged Foot, Numerous Trump Courses and many others.  You may not get a bargain when you buy a 4some to a track like Winged Foot but it's a way that you might find to play a course like that without knowing a member.....

Best of Luck in your Golf Travels

My wife picked me up a $12 round from Groupon. I believe livingsocial also offers occasional golf coupons and package deals.
