I’ve been thinking about planning a trip to Pinehurst No. 2, and one of the biggest things on my mind is the cost. How much does it really cost to play there?

From what I’ve gathered, the green fees can vary quite a bit depending on the season. I’ve heard that during peak times, tee times can get pretty expensive. Here are a few things I’m curious about:

  • Green Fees: What are the typical rates? Are there any discounts available for weekdays or off-peak times?
  • Caddie Fees: Is having a caddie mandatory, and how much can I expect to pay for one?
  • Other Costs: Are there additional costs like club rentals, meals, or other services I should keep in mind?

I want to get a clear picture of the budget I should set aside for this experience. Also, for those who have played there, do you think it’s worth the money? Any insights would be greatly appreciated!

That’s a hefty price tag! Does anyone know if they offer discounts for groups or packages?

Yes, they sometimes have package deals where if you book online for multiple rounds, you can save a bit. It’s worth checking out their booking options!

From what I’ve heard, members enjoy some reduced rates. If you’re planning to play multiple times, joining could be beneficial.

I played last year in the off-peak season, and it felt like a steal at just under $250! Plus, the weather was pleasant. Highly recommend timing your visit accordingly!

Does Pinehurst have any live tee time availability to avoid booking fees? That might help with costs!

Good question. I believe they do allow walk-on availability at times, but it’s always safer to book ahead during peak months.

Agreed! But if you’re feeling adventurous, you might just luck out with a last-minute spot!

And sometimes, they run special promotions. I’ve seen discounts for veterans or certain holidays. It’s definitely good to keep an eye on their site.

It’s not just about the play. The entire atmosphere is enchanting. But hey, it is pricey! A little humor: I can’t afford the green fees, but I can definitely afford to admire from afar!

Haha, exactly! At this rate, I might just buy a Pinehurst flag and call it a day instead of breaking the bank on greens fees!

That’s a hefty fee! Have you considered caddy fees? They can range from $100 to $150, which adds to the experience but also the total cost.
