Pick your day and your state. It's possible to find some really killer deals. You can get a lot of $50-$75 courses for $20-$40 with cart.

i found a cheap one, $20 for 18 holes plus $12 for a cart. $32 / 2 people = $16. :D:D

I got ya beat. If you bring a tax certificate as proof that you have paid taxes in Maui county, you can play this course for $8. YA RLY.

Ocean views from all 18 holes. Someday soon I'm gonna play hookie and try it out. Everyone I know who has played it says it's an incredible couse.

It's almost impossible to get a tee time though and forget about getting on as a single. It's like flying standby. You just have to be there when a thresome goes out. Or plan ahead.

I blame Tiger Woods and Abraham Lincoln.

Are you talking 18 holes with a cart? There's courses all over that are less than $50 for just greens fees. I'm not sure where you're looking...


try www.golf414.com for extra discounts. I think the its mainly for weekday teetimes though.

man a 2001 member messing up a link? Anyways, pretty sweet site!

Check your own "fixed link". I didn't mess up mine, the forum software here hoses it.

Try this instead folks:
EZ Links

And then click on "Tee Time Specials".
