What’s the most you have paid for a round of golf?

dphatt

I am talking about greens fees plus cart and/or caddie.

Fortunately I have been able to get onto a lot of great courses because of tournaments or because the member pays for me.

My most expensive round is probably any of the Bandon courses plus caddie.

I think it was around 300 for TPC Scottsdale. Boy was that a waste lol.

Butler National was a Close second. $250 I think?

ForeLeft oh wow 300 for scottsdale. I went in August once and paid something way less, and even then I felt it wasn't worth it haha.

I'm still new to "premium" golf courses. Probably Spyglass so far is my most expensive.

Shadow creek …$2600 for the tee time… $500 for the caddies …$350 on drinks…spend it now!!!! ..can’t take it with you when you are gone …

and was told by our caddie starting in November it will be 1k

All for 1 round of golf

I assume that is for the foursome, correct?

I think it was like $250 when I played Harbour Town. Plus another $100 for the caddy

The US dollar was flexing hard two years ago, so I pre-paid the entire Cabot trip I took when I turned 40.

It was $265 CAD for rounds at Cabot Links and Cabot Cliffs, which worked out to $193.45 thanks to the strong greenback. Went with the "B" class caddies for $50 CAD + a $40 tip ($65.70).

All in, it worked out to $259.15 freedom dollars per round. 100% worth it too.

Cabot Links

Cabot Cliffs

OffTheDole I want to go to Cabot. Where did you fly into and how far was the ride from the airport?

Sydney, NS is the closest "major" airport and then it's a two hour drive from there.

OffTheDole

dphatt I flew into Halifax (JAX-PHL-YHZ) and it was a 3.5 hour drive from there.

Cabot will pick you up in a Sprinter van but having a rental car isn't a bad idea because the Glenora distillery is a short drive from the resort that's a great place to tour and eat one night.

Most I've spent on a round was Whistling Straits. Iirc, it was $350 plus another $100 for my caddie. Worth every penny.

Luckily my Pebble Beach round was covered by a bet I won when I did my Ironman back in 2018 or else that would have taken the cake. I can't remember what my Pinehurst #2 round cost with a caddie but it was up there....especially since we stayed in the Carolina for the night. Bandon trip next year will likely have some pricey rounds as well.....

Torrey? Two days in a row. Maybe $350 a day? So $700? That fucking sucked. Great time with the boys, but the dollars, I don’t spend that much to play golf. That’s a lotta tinker club money.

rrkman

bigjohntripod and it is a real kick in the nuts when you see the locals are only paying like $50. But staying at the Hilton and walking over is about the most perfect golf day ever.

I'm guessing my most is $400-500. I'm debating if I should play Plantation in Kapalua at $359 for the round ( I play it every time we go out that way but not sure if I will do it this go around). I can get out at Riv at any time, but the overall cost with all that it involves (without involving a guest) puts the green fees at $700+ which seems crazy to me. Amazing what we pay to hit a white ball around a grass path for four hours.

dphatt

DaHOF I am sure you get your money’s worth 😉

ckay

Either Kapalua or Pelican Hill.

Eddie

Every damn round at Aloha 🤪jk.

pebble was rough and golf in Korea is always rough.

Moni_SLO

rrkman I hear that. Luckily one of my best friends is a resident out there and he always feels so bad for me so we just combine the 2 rounds and split it down the middle lol

bigjohntripod

rrkman Bro it don’t suck, that’s for sure. I only think about cost after the fact anyway 😂😂😂😂 “Aight, I gotta take this shift and the night shift Tuesday…I think that’ll cover it” It’s like a treasure hunt after, finding coin 😂😂

gfranktw7

Pebble is about to be 575 + caddie....and I am paying for my dad as well. haha

maxbianchi

gfranktw7 does that still include the hotel? years ago when i was there they packaged a night stay w the greens fee
