discount golfing feels better - by Mike

Discount Golfing

Discount golfing is needed in Las Vegas to offset the rising price of golfing. With green fees over $500, we all need to find a way to play at the courses we really like. No doubt Las Vegas is full of masterpiece, world-class golfing now. The question is how many can afford to play there.

The average round of golf is over $100. And it is only going up. There is no Expedia for golf yet. It's very hard to compare pricing. Some web services offer exceptional good pricing on one golf course, but not others, making it hit or miss.

This photo shows the twilight hour in Vegas, which is one the best times for discount golfing. Many of the Las Vegas Golf courses have this discount. It is best played in the long days of summer.

First and foremost, learn to ask for a better deal. Casinos give away plenty of free goodies. They just keep it more secret now. So if you want discount golfing you have to ask. If you have a strong character, demand it. If you are shy use logic. Ask yourself why others get it but not you. The matter of fact is, too often the same people get the freebies. So let's spread the goodies out a little bit by asking for them.

There are things to look for as a golfer that will help lower your green fees. Keep in mind midweek is discount golfing at 9 out of 10 courses. On some courses midweek means Monday through Friday while on others it's Monday through Thursday. After 12 pm you can often expect your rate to get slashed by 40%.

On a budget? Here are some Vegas golf courses with consistently low prices:
· Angel Park Golf Club - Cloud Nine
· Boulder City Municipal
· Callaway Golf Center - Divine Nine
· Desert Rose
· Eagle Crest Golf Club
· Las Vegas Golf Club
· Los Prados Golf Club

Our off-seasons are winter and summer. They will give the smart golfer an opportunity for a wider choice of discounts. Make sure you call the phone numbers you see listed with the websites and speak with a live operator. You will get a better deal on the phone. Make sure you remember to ask for a better deal.

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

Research the courses you are going to play. Make sure you take a "map print out" of where the course is if you are driving or taking a taxi. Even taxis get lost trying to find the entrance to your golf course. And you don't want to miss your tee time or get charged extra. Make sure transportation is included in your package. Be aware taxis rates are going up monthly in Vegas.

Over 1 million tourists come to Vegas a year to play golf. That does not include locals who are fanatical about playing as well. Sure there are a lot of courses but there are more golfers. If you are traveling, be wise, plan ahead, and get a good price at the right time on the course you want with discount golfing.
