South Island, Christchurch, New Zealand, we have  a lot more courses than we have golfers. Most places are about $25 and the real nice courses about $85, but those are the ones that host all the PGA and LPGA tournaments. If you want to ride most courses don't have carts so you need to buy your own and trailer it, but you also need a Dr letter to use it, otherwise you walk.

Really varies by season down here. Right now, in the "off" season, there's a lot of quality golf to be had at a pretty nice discount.  $20-$40 even on the weekend for some very nice courses.  Twilight during the week can get you down to $10.   Some of these same courses will be $60-$100+ come November.... Most courses offer some FL resident discounts though, so even during the winter months I can usually play some very good courses for under $40-$50 on the weekends though.

I had initially started typing a response, but then realized it was almost identical to this one. The rates here are very seasonal. And tourists pay twice as much as locals. I could pay $30 to play a course in February and a tourist will pay $120 to play it 2 weeks later in March.

I live in the land of cheap golf - N/E PA ... I'm flexible & look for cheap tee times on golfnow.    On weekends, mid day - I don't pay over $25 - usually about half that for nice average golf courses with cart.  Across the border in NJ, can't touch a course on a weekend for under $45, usually closer to $65.    See a lot of NJ license plates in PA golf course parking lots ...

Think i am in the wrong country for golf....i am a 100 percent Singaporean, been born in Singapore, work and played. Singapore is a very small country...roughly the size of long Island.

In a small place, the greens fees is amazing.....my own golf club which is own by the Ministry Of Defence for Singaporean who did our 2 1/2 years of National Service to our Country. National Service Resort & Country Club charges weekday USD $30 for a round of golf. Guest pay USD $80....which is by our standard the cheapest

Other private clubs which hosted the Barclay and HSBC Championship courses like Sentosa are members clubs and for guest is USD $150 for weekday and weekend USD $250 green fees....other private golf clubs average weekday green fees USD $100. Buggy fees not included.

Many of my golf buddies either travelled to neighbour country like Johore, Malaysia Southern state, an 2 hour drive from Singapore. weekday average USD $15 and weekend USD $50 to play golf. Sadly many are giving up golf and go into other sports like Darts, Badminton, Tennis and Table Tennis....

Happy Golfing everyone !!

In my specific area - about $60 at peak times.  If I'm willing to drive 45 minutes or so, I can get a GolfNow deal for around $45 maybe.

One item we tend to not think about is the cost of a beer, a cheeseburger, some fries, a new golf glove and a box of titlest golf balls. All of these costs have increased substantially due to inflation.

A course sandwich hollows on the cape has a $30 for 18 including cart after 12:30 every day including weekend, plus if you go to their own booking system you can get deals.. We played yesterday at 11:22 am for 29.99 for 18 and a cart.  Normally it's $60 around that time.

I joined the "players club" at a couple different course associations- management companies which makes it real reasonable with some fair to decent courses in the San Diego area. I would say I average 25-40 bucks a round with cart.Occasionally I'll cough up 80-90 for a great course. Occasionally.

The 2 municipal courses here are $24 for a round I think.  I've never actually paid it since I've had seasons passes every year.

Posted standard prices for 18 holes with cart average:

For Semi-Private courses:

  • Sat-Sun: $70 AM, $45 PM, $$31 Twilight
  • Weekday: $45, $30, $28
  • (Most semi-privates require you to take a cart; 

For public courses:

  • Sat-Sun: $43 AM, $29 twilight
  • Weekday: $35, $23
  • (A weekday lesser fee if you walk instead of ride)

Both semi-privates and publics will slash prices a day or two out if no one has signed up. Dynamic pricing throws everything out of whack.

Focus, connect and follow through!

i'm pretty lucky to have access to above-average muni and semi-private courses in NorCal wine country. my schedule limits me to playing weekday afternoons for the most part, and prices range between $25-$50 depending on the track and time of day. GolfNow HotDeals can be found with a little bit of research and discounts are significant.

that said:

[humblebrag]

i'm going to play Spyglass Hill on the 24th, and then Olympic Lake on the 25th. both are normally WAY out of my price range, but got a good deal at SH and a discounted tourney rate at Olympic when a guy backed out last-minute. maybe the best back-to-back days of golf i can remember. so pumped.

$30 to walk the resident public courses, $50-$80 for the nicer public tracks like Bethpage, add $20 to ride which I rarely do but this heat has me thinking about it, this past weekend had the vultures circling my ass out there.

In NE Ohio (Akron / Cleveland area / Canton) the best public courses on weekend mornings with cart:

Nice tracks - $36 - 48

Best tracks - $48 - 65

Some of the best deals out there are the courses that used to be exclusive, member-only country clubs that no longer have a enough members to fill a tee sheet from 7:00 - 10:00 am on a Saturday.  Played some decent to really nice CC locations last few years in the $25 - 35 range on Saturday mornings.

Best value is playing courses on Sunday after 12:00 noon.  Even the nice tracks can be played for $15 - 25 range w/cart.

There are really bad courses that can be played sub $15 if you just want to go out band beat it around.

    • Day 105: mirror work today. Focused on not looping my hands at the top of the swing. Straight down. 
    • Still working on the backswing a bit. Hand still gets away from the body, out towards the ball, and at A2 the club wants to roll over and get flat at A3. It's just very difficult to shallow from that position like I want. Which makes my downswing work impossible.  Backswing I have been playing around with the left leg straightening to start the backswing. It's like, a slight shove of the hips right with the left leg. Then just keep the flex in the right knee as I turn into it. I kind of like it. I never had a good swing trigger. It helps keep my left knee extended.  Yea, definitely feeling the hand path is traveling down the feet line, and straight up. A little bit of wrist rotation, and a lot more hinge sooner in the right wrist and elbow. I am trying to get the feeling that the arm hinging up then is the cause for the right shoulder to retract to finish the backswing. Club feels much more vertical at A3. I am trying to have my wrist fully hinged by then.  Feel the club and arms stop at A3.5 (my A4). If my arm collapses late, then I turn into that and I am pretty much screwed. The club and arms kind of have a floaty feeling, where they are just suspended in air for a bit, then drop.  Downswing I have been trying to think of a good visual for this mentally. I like the idea of my hands taking a wide arc to my right pocket, or I am taking the back of the hosel and trying to hit the ground behind my right foot.    Left knee stuff, just sooner. 
    • Day 78 - 2026-03-10 Backswing work at the net with foam balls, a few real ball swings.
    • Day 525 - 2026-03-10 Got some work in before lessons today (was going to play after but it decided to POUR). Then like three minutes in later on.
    • Day 2 (10 Mar 26) - Worked on weight shift feel using slap stick drill (hands about 6” apart - coming back weight on trail foot - down - thru weight on lead foot….moved it to hitting chips w/9i playing what I call “leap frog” - hit 1st about 10yds, the next a couple past the 1st, for about 6 balls total.  Love it as the lies change, the distances vary making each swing slightly different.
