Golf and Golf Course Discounts

Summer is here and Father’s Day is rapidly approaching, so we thought
it would be a good time to discuss those senior discounts available on the greens.

Many golf courses, particularly public courses, offer seasonal senior
discounts. This means that the amount of the discount or requirements for the discount
can change from season to season, from year to year or even from day to day. Courses like
to attract seniors during the slower periods, so be prepared to play in the mornings or
late afternoons during the week or during off-season times if you want to claim your
discount.

Golf discounts don’t just end with the green fees. Senior discounts
can also be found on golf cart rentals and at driving ranges. Some facilities will offer
discounts on lessons or golf camps, and pro shops may extend the course senior discount to
clothes and equipment in the shop.

The age requirements for these discounts will vary from facility to
facility. There are discounts available for those of us that are 50 or 55 years of age,
but may discounts may not begin until 60 or 62. Public courses tend to have the higher
age requirements.

Like the age requirements, the amount of the discount can be different
at every course. Discounts can range anywhere from 10% off or a couple of dollars from the
green fees to more than 50% off or more than $50 dollars.

A majority of golf courses now have a web site and usually you can
find the senior discounts located under the green fees section. We have over a thousand
golf courses listed on our web site, but with fees and the amount of the discount changing
each year, it is a good idea to confirm the discount before going to play your next
round.
