NOTES ABOUT PRICING: The course fees in this database are non-resident peak season (usually summer, but in hot-summer states, winter is the most expensive time to play). You can probably play for less by choosing off-season dates. If you're a resident of the city or state of the course, you might pay less. Military, senior, and junior rates also are usually lower. Many courses now use dynamic pricing, so the rate you pay may differ from what we've listed. We try our best to present accurate tee-time prices, but courses frequently adjust their fees. if you spot a mistake, please let us know
