5 Tips to Save Money While Playing Golf

Golf can be an expensive hobby, but there are ways to keep your costs down and still enjoy the game. Here are 5 tips Only Birdies recommend to help you save money next time you hit the course:

1. Walk Instead of Renting a Buggy

Walking the course instead of renting a buggy will save you the rental fee, which can be £15-£20 per round. Get some comfortable golf shoes and bring water to stay hydrated. Walking is also great exercise!

2. Book Twilight Tee Times

Courses often offer discounted rates for twilight tee times late in the day. You may not get 18 full holes in, but you can still play 9 or 12 holes for much cheaper. Bonus - the setting sun makes for beautiful scenery!

3. Invest in Discount Multi-Round Packages

Many courses sell multi-round packages that bring down the per-round cost significantly. Look for deals like 5 rounds for the price of 3. The more you play, the more you save.

4. Practice Your Short Game

Working on your chipping, pitching, and putting doesn't require spending money on full rounds. Spend time at the practice green and short game area to sharpen your skills for less.

5. Bring Your Own Snacks and Drinks

Golf course snacks and drinks are expensive. Bring your own snacks, sandwiches, and non-alcoholic drinks in a cooler to save money. Stay hydrated for less!

Getting out on the course doesn't have to break the bank. Using these budget tips will help you save money while still enjoying your favorite golf courses. Let us know if you have any other great ideas for saving on golf costs!
