Budget Golfing

Budget golfing is needed in Las Vegas to offset the high price of golfing. With green fees climbing over $700, we all need a price break once in a while. No doubt Vegas is occupied with masterpiece, world-class golfing now. The question is how many can afford to keep playing here. As a sport, golf has plateaued in terms of players. Boomers are not retiring.

This photo shows the twilight hour in Vegas, which is one the best times for budget golfing. Many of the Las Vegas Golf courses have lower prices during certain times of the day. Try it during the long days of summer.

The average round of golf is now somewhere between $100 and $200. And it is only going up. It's very hard to compare pricing. While some web services offer exceptional good pricing on one golf course, they don't on others, making it hit or miss.

Learn to ask for a better deal. Casinos still give away lots of comps. They are just quieter about it now. So if you want budget golfing, you have to ask. Ask about reduced rates during the middle of the week; reduced rates before 8 a.m.; reduced rates after 12 p.m. Why should others get the discount, but not you? Too often, it seems like the same people are getting all the freebies.

I have a good friend who gets a lot of comps. He has an address in Florida, but he lives in Vegas. Casinos are always sending comps back to Florida for free rooms, because they think he travels to Vegas 12 - 15 times a year. He can actually afford to gamble now, with all the money he saves by being comped.

For those who want budget golfing, 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 club in Vegas. It was started in 1938, and original known as 'The Muni.'

Overseeding is done at most golf courses in the fall and spring. It's when they put seed down on top the grass. The seed sits there for 7 - 10 days. During that time most courses give a discount. Make certain you ask for your discount.

Over 1 million tourists come to Vegas a year to play golf, which does not include locals, who are fanatical about golf as well. There are a lot of courses, but there are more golfers. If you are traveling to Vegas, make sure to plan ahead. Use this page to get Stay and Play packages or Golf Only packages in addition to budget golfing.
