What are the Greens Fees for..

[listen2me 23 1,831]

My local course that I have played on and a member of is 38 dollars for 18 holes, that is walking. $53 to ride 18.

 

It is a very good course at a solid price. Better than most courses in the area.

Tri-County? That's pricey for a course around here.

[edjr 6,578]

We almost always get a electric/gas cart.

 

it's anywhere from 50 to 60 for 18.

 

The course right next to where I live is like 5 bucks cheaper, because I live in the same city.

Elkdale. $38 dollars is the weekend rate. It is $28 on weekdays. Consider it is only $1000 for a membership.

 

I compare Elkdale to Tri-County in terms of quality. Moonbrook is most likely the best course south of the Buffalo courses.

 

I will gaurentee Elkdale gets the most play of any course in Western NY.

[kilroy69 1,218]

We have 32 golf courses in Jackson Co MI. We have more public golf courses per capita than any other city in the United States besides Sarasota, Florida. With that many courses they can't rape you for greens fees and I have never payed more than 30 bucks and thats with a cart.

To bad you only get to play 4 months out of the year.

If you ever get a chance, play North Hills in Corry, PA. It's prolly about an hour from you. Super cheap cuz it's owned by the city and a greta layout.

Yea here in Western NY we have half of April, May, June, July, August, September, and half of October. That is 6 months, so not that bad. And for the diehards you can play well into October and November. I've played in December before when it was snowing but no snow on the ground.

[kilroy69 1,218]

lol yea that is true. But we do have some really good courses.

Yea haven't played many in PA. I think only Penn Hills.

[kutulu 1,661]

5 bucks, but if you get it in the clown's mouth you get a free game.

[Lionsjunkie 1]

I play year round

 

"In-season" average is about $100 - 125 with a cart...off-season when the snowbirds get the hell outta here, same courses are between 25-60 for 18 with a cart...some of the best golfing around.

[tubby_mcgee 700]

$21.50 for 9 holes and 1/2 cart.

Elkdale is pretty good for the price. I will probably play there next summer when the wife and I come up to check on the timber property we own around Bolivar.

Was in Florida a couple of weeks ago and those "In-season" rates are crazy. The place I played was $200 in-season I paid $50.

Yea. Where do you live? Buffalo? I mean it is as public as it gets, it has a lot of members but welcomes a lot of public play. If you wait to get a tee time you won't be able to get out from 7-12 on a weekend. Its hard to keep a course in as good of shape as it could be with that much play, but it still remains a quality course.

I would be an offseason golfer if I lived there. No way am I paying 200 bucks to play a round of golf.

[LOD01 198]

It's free in Western PA. May play a few rounds this week when I am up there vacationing. Haven't played there in like 20 years since I moved.

Anyone else ever play there? It's an extreemly short 9 holes. All par 4's drivable. You feel like a pro.

 

$25-30 here in Tampa area.

I live in Houston. The wife's family had a place in the country between Hammondsport and Kueka.

We have a couple par 3 courses here we play for sh!ts and giggles. 8 bucks to walk it and you DO feel like a pro.

I played that place and Raptor Bay. Both courses were

[Patriotsfatboy1 1,432]

$75 with a cart (required).

 

I also play on another course that is more of a beater where you can walk. It is $39 to walk.

[The Moz 69]

Usually play the folks CC ( private ) so I don't pay for it. Park Ridge CC. If I play by my house I play Aberdeen or Brassie which both run about 60 - 70 w/ cart. play them about 2-3 times a month.

I pay 200 when I play at the American Club in Kholer but not for a regular course though.

[MTSkiBum 1,620]

30-40 for 18 holes, walking. We have 4 courses and the 5th is currently being built. Pretty good for a montana town of around 40k people. My membership this season was 600 dollars, with no monthly green fees, or minimum amount of food that you have to buy.

 

I dont ride in a cart unless it is required by the course.

[jackie sherrill 0]

In the Memphis area, most decent to good courses are $40-$60 with cart for 18 holes. I go on a golf trip to Gulf Shores, AL every year in April and the 4 courses we play are $65-$95 with cart for 18.

So it's 600 bucks to play 2 months a year? maybe that is I heard it snowed something fiece last week in your neck of the woods :console:

[KSB2424 3,148]

Just a little :fuckyou: to all you people that walk on the crowded weekends just so you save a couple bucks. Thanks for delaying my round an hour and not letting me get in any kind of groove. You bunch of tight mofos.

[GobbleDog 986]

I had no idea it cost that much to play a round of golf. That'll keep out the riff-raff. Snobby white people hate riff-raff.

[nospk 230]

I walk to get excercise you fockin lazy fatass.

It also keeps you loose and you don't have to wait as much.

What do you expect if you play on the crowded weekend anyways?

It's gonna be slower.

[KSB2424 3,148]

I walk to get excercise you fockin lazy fatass.

I have found that people that walk when they play golf for exercise do it because that is the only kind of excercise they get. It somehow makes them feel better to say it that way. They are usually the fat mofos and golf is there way to say they excercise. In shape, fit people like myself play golf to.... you know....PLAY GOLF. Not stand on the tee box watching your fatass stroll down the fairway smoking a cigar.

 

If you want to excercise get on a focking treadmill and off a crowded golf course holding everybody up. TIA

 

Public Golf courses should make everybody use a cart on the weekends. Weekdays you can walk all you want.

 

ETA: And one more thing. If I see one more dumbass break out his telescopic ball retriever and take 5 mutherfocking minutes fishing out a bunch of balls that are not even his out of a creek or pond while I am standing on the tee box I'm gonna put my bb gun in my golf bag and start lighting you up.

I can easily keep up with people riding in a cart. Its shitty golfers that slow the golf course to a crawl.

I play in a foursome that if we walked 18 with no one a head of us we take a little under 4 hours. If we all had carts we only would play in 3 and 1/2 hours.

 

Walking doesn't delay it as much as you think. Walking is slower getting to the ball but you all actually go to your ball, instead of driving all around.

 

I usually walk if I play in the morning, and ride if I play in teh afternoon.

Agree. And the ones who spend forever looking for a lost ball. Or the guys who either think they are pros or are playing for too much money. You know the ones looking at the line of a putt from 7 angles.

Exactly. The problem with the amount of time it takes to play is that many players are not good with ready golf. I see people in carts that go to one guys ball and all 4 of them watch the guy hit. Then, they all go to the next guy's ball and they watch him hit. Rinse, repeat, and wait 5 hours for a round of golf.

Yea I see more and more guys looking like old ladies. Follow eachother around. Wait to watch one person hit. Talk about it. Go to the next ball and do the same.

All that is fine and dandy. If you are a 10 handicap and can keep up walking then go for it. However 80% of walkers are not. Sure what you just mentioned happens, but 9 times out of 10 when we roll up and come to a complete bog down on a course it is becuase of a walking foursome.
