How to save money golfing

Golf is a sport that is all too expensive to be enjoyed by everyone. Here is some advice for you to obtain the best opportunity for golfing as cheaply as possible. These tips may help you to save as much as possible when you are on the links.

Discount Golf:

If you are just learning the game, book tee times early or late in the season as rates are usually lower during these periods. If you book weekday, holiday and twilight tee times, the courses are usually less filled and many golf courses offer discounted rates on these days. Twilight rates are also cheap, and usually start around 5 p.m.

Cheap Golf Rates:

Instead of golfing two rounds of nine in one week, golf 18 holes in one day. Two nine hole rounds are comparatively more expensive than one round of 18. If you join a league and get membership, it will allow you access to the course all season. They are offered at prices far discounted to an equal number of golf throughout the season.

Meals brought out on carts or in the clubhouse can be expensive. Many courses allow you to keep small bags in your cart with pack sandwiches or snacks to eat. So bring in your own food to eat while you are playing a full round that can take nearly four hours.

When to Golf:

Beers or shots at a golf course can be expensive and they can distract your coordination and alter your play. Therefore play golf soberly.

Clip coupons - many golf courses send out coupons to users and golfers if you sign up for mailing lists in their Entertainment books or on their official course websites.

Employees in the club house will also get you inside information on best deals and best times to golf. They can even get you coupons or early access to tee times.
