Budget Golf

Budget golf is needed in Las Vegas to offset rising price of green fees. Green fees can now be over $700. So most of us need a price break. As Vegas occupies itself with masterpiece, world-class golf, the question is, how many can afford to keep playing here. Golf is no longer growing as a sport. And boomers are not retiring as early as expected.

This photo shows the twilight hour in Vegas, which is one the best times for budget golf. All Las Vegas Golf courses that we know of have lower prices during the summer.

The average round of golf is now somewhere between $100 and $200, and that is only going to go up. It's very hard to compare pricing on Vegas golf courses, since some web services offer exceptional good pricing on one golf course but not on others.

If you want budget golf, you have to ask about reduced rates during the middle of the week; reduced rates before 8 a.m., and reduced rates after 12 p.m. The golf courses in Vegas with consistently low prices are: Angel Park Golf Club - Cloud Nine, Boulder City Municipal, Callaway Golf Center - Divine Nine, Desert Rose, Eagle Crest Golf Club, Los Prados Golf Club and Las Vegas Golf Club. Las Vegas Golf Club is the oldest golf club of them all. 'The Muni' as it was original known, was started in 1938.

Overseeding is done on most golf courses during the fall and spring; it's when they put seed down on top the grass for the new grass to grow. The seed will sit there for 7 - 10 days. During that time most courses give a discount to golfers. If they are seeding, make sure you get in your budget golf.

Over 1 million tourists come to Vegas a year to play golf. That does not include locals, who are obsessed with the game as well. If you are visiting, try to plan your golf vacation around a tournament, but make sure you get in in advance. Don't come here thinking you will just find a tournament. Though, the combining of poker and golf into one tournament, is creating more opportunities for impulse tournaments.

Yes, there are many golf courses in Vegas, but there are more golfers. If you are traveling to Vegas, make sure to plan in advance. Use this page to find Stay and Play packages, or Golf Only packages in addition to ideas for budget golf.
