Absolutely! The Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail offers some amazing deals and discounts, especially during the shoulder seasons. I’ve found that booking early and looking for package deals can save you a ton of money.

I usually try to play on the Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail in the spring or fall. The weather is beautiful and the rates are much lower compared to peak season. Some courses also offer discounts for seniors, military, and students.

Hey everyone! I’m planning a trip along the Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail and need some advice on budgeting. What kind of costs should I expect for green fees, accommodations, and other expenses? Any tips to help me prepare a realistic budget?

Great question, brooke51! The Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail has some amazing courses, but the costs can add up quickly. I’d recommend budgeting around $50-$100 per round for green fees, plus cart rentals. Accommodations can vary a lot, but expect to pay $100-$300 per night depending on the hotel/resort.

Don’t forget to factor in meals! The trail has some fantastic restaurants, but they can get pricey. I’d budget at least $50 per person per day for food. And don’t forget things like gas, souvenirs, and any other activities you want to do. Planning ahead is key to staying on budget.

I’ve heard that booking your tee times and accommodations well in advance can really help you save. And keep an eye out for package deals or discounts, especially during the off-season. The trail has some amazing resorts, but you can find more affordable options if you’re willing to stay a bit further from the courses.

Those are all great suggestions! I’m really excited to plan this trip, but want to make sure I can do it without breaking the bank. Do you think it’s better to stay at one of the resorts on the trail or look for more budget-friendly options nearby?
