Looking for the Cheapest Golf Membership in Austin!

General Discussion

I’m on the hunt for affordable golf membership options in Austin and would love some advice!

Golf can get pretty pricey, especially if you’re trying to play regularly. I’m specifically looking for:

  • Recommendations for budget-friendly country clubs
  • Current prices for memberships at public and private courses
  • Any available discounts or deals that I might not be aware of

If anyone has insights or personal experiences to share, that would be super helpful. Which courses offer the best bang for your buck?

Thanks in advance for your help! Looking forward to hearing your suggestions!

Hey there! If you’re looking for affordable options, I highly recommend checking out the Metropolitan Golf Club. Their annual membership is around $600 and includes unlimited play and access to all amenities, including a swimming pool.

I’ve heard about that place! Is it really as nice as they say? What kind of events do they host?

4

Definitely! They have a great community vibe and host regular tournaments. Bill Miller Golf Course is another great low-cost option, around $500 a year, with good practice facilities.

The conditions are usually well-maintained, and they have nice driving ranges too. Plus, they often have special discounts for early bird members! I’ve heard the food at the clubhouse is decent as well.

I’m looking to play more, so a good club with great food sounds perfect! Does anyone have experience with the Round Rock Golf Club? I think their membership is about $700.

I’ve played there a couple of times! It’s got some nice challenges, and the atmosphere is friendly. Just be aware that weekends can get pretty busy.

I second that! They have a nice layout, but if you prefer a quieter round, try hitting on weekdays. The membership does offer some discounts at local restaurants as well!

What about the benefits of being a member? I’ve heard some clubs give you discounts on golfing gear too.

11

That’s true! Many clubs provide a members’ discount on pro shop items. Also, participation in exclusive member-only tournaments can be a huge plus for building connections and improving your game.

Just think, you could have a golf buddy! :joy: But, given the fees, just make sure that the club aligns with your golf style. What do you guys think of the Highland Lakes Golf Club? Is it worth it?

13

Well, it’s pretty scenic but membership costs around $900. For a budget-conscious golfer, it might not be the best deal unless you love those views.

14

That scenic view may be tempting, but is it really worth the extra cost? I appreciate the heads-up, trivera! Just focused on finding the best bang for my buck here.

15

Keep scouting around! Sometimes local municipal courses can have surprising deals. I found a $450 option at the Lost Creek Country Club recently that seems worth considering for the amenities.

16

If you’re looking for cheap golf memberships, I recommend checking out the local public courses. Many of them offer monthly memberships that include unlimited play. The value for money can be outstanding compared to private clubs!

17

I recently joined a club that offers a discounted winter membership. It’s perfect for those and it provides access to all facilities with no restrictions. Keep an eye out for seasonal promotions!

18

That’s a great tip! Have you tried any specific courses? I’m curious which public courses offer the best deals.

19

I’ve been researching as well. It’s key to compare the fees but also look closely at what’s included. Some cheaper memberships have extra fees for booking tee times. It can add up! Anyone else experience this?

20

Absolutely, hidden fees can really ruin a good deal. I suggest asking clubs directly about any extra costs that might apply.
