April 3, 2009, Newsletter Issue #160: Save Money on Golf Getaways
Tip of the Week
There’s a common perception that “golf is not a poor man’s game.” True, a round of golf can easily cost several hundred dollars at a private club. Unlike purchasing a soccer ball or baseball bat, Golf clubs and accessories are expensive. However, there are ways to save money on a golf vacation:
• Choose a golf vacation rental rather than a resort. Vacation home rentals almost always work out to less per day than a golf resort hotel. Combine accommodation costs with the benefits of full-equipped kitchen and outdoor grilling and save more dollars on dining.
• Book your getaway for the shoulder or off-season at your golf destination. Vacation rental rates average 30% less off-season. Golf courses are not as busy and most offer reduced green fees.
• The Golf Digest Passbook membership card is a premier golf savings program offering 20-50% discounts at 2,500 courses, learning centers, golf tournaments and on golf products. Regional golf publications often have discounted or two-for-one coupons. Finally, check directly with local courses for special early morning or weekday discounts.
