Looking for Last Minute Golf Deals – Any Recommendations?

I’m hoping to find some last minute golf deals for this weekend. I’ve been checking a couple of local courses, but it seems like some of the best rates are slipping through my fingers.

What I’m Looking For:

  • Discounted Tee Times: If there are any websites or apps you guys use to score better prices, please share!
  • Local Course Deals: Are there specific courses around that offer great last-minute rates, especially on weekends?
  • Alert Systems: I’ve heard of some platforms that notify you about deals. If anyone knows of good options for that, I’d love to hear!

I’m looking to save some cash while enjoying a round or two, so any tips or experiences you’ve had with snagging last-minute offers would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!

I usually check GolfNow and TeeOff for last minute deals. They have great discounts for tee times on the day of or the day before. Definitely worth a look!

I second GolfNow! They often have promotions for specific courses. If you’re flexible with your time, you can snag some awesome deals!

Have you tried using the app ‘Golfshot’? It’s handy for finding local courses and often lists special offers. Super user-friendly too!

I’ve had success with Groupon too! They sometimes have golf package deals that include carts at a fraction of the price. Just make sure to read the fine print.

Groupon is a great suggestion! Just be careful with availability; some deals can be quite limited on certain days.

For spontaneous golfers like us, I’d recommend checking the local weather. If it’s too nice, prices might skyrocket. Wait for those rainy days to find better deals!

Totally agree, Elizabeth! It’s crucial to call the course if you find a deal to confirm it’s still valid. Communication is key!

I once found a deal through ‘Hot Deals’ on the course’s own website! It’s a bit hit or miss, but you never know when you’ll find a hidden gem.

That’s a solid suggestion, Carly! I think courses often forget to promote their best deals. It’s worth a quick scan of their site.

11

Can someone explain how these apps work? Are they user-friendly for someone who’s not tech-savvy? I’d love to find some deals but worry I’ll end up confused!

I’ve had some luck with last-minute golf deals using apps like GolfNow. Once, I booked a tee time for half price just a few hours in advance! The course was in excellent shape, and the staff was friendly.

That’s great to hear! I’ve also used GolfNow, but I found some courses underestimate the time for play. It can feel rushed if you’re not careful.

I usually check with local golf courses directly. They sometimes have hidden specials that aren’t advertised. Just last week, I got a fantastic deal by asking when I showed up!

15

That’s a good tip! Sometimes, you can even negotiate based on the time of day. Just remember to be polite!

16

I’ve found that last-minute deals can be hit or miss. On one occasion, I booked a spot only to find it was on a very crowded day, and we spent more time waiting than playing!

17

That’s unfortunate! I’ve had a different experience. I booked a late afternoon round and practically had the course to ourselves. It was peaceful!

18

Last minute deals can sometimes lead to unexpected surprises. I once played a course that was known for its difficulty, and it was thrilling! But be mindful of weather conditions; they can change quickly, especially if you’re booking last minute.

19

Absolutely! I once got caught in a random rainstorm. However, it made for great stories to share at the clubhouse later!

I’ve booked last-minute deals that turned out to be a disaster. Once, I arrived only to discover the course was shut down for maintenance! Always check the course website if you can.
