Computed from published components; excludes lodging, tax and caddie tip.
"Golf day cost" is computed only from published fees for one round for one golfer (green fee, plus caddie and recommended tip where published). It leaves out lodging, taxes, food and transfers. Where a figure isn't published, we show Unknown rather than estimate.
Insider notes
A second round the same day costs about half (the replay rate). Many guests play 36 holes a day.
Day guests booking more than 21 days ahead in season pay the premium rate. Staying on site is cheaper per round.
Every course is walking only, so plan for a caddie or a carry bag.
