Budget beyond the green fee

Destination golf can add carts, caddies, range balls, transfers, rental clubs, gratuities, resort fees, food, and replay charges. None of those are problems when they are planned.

Smart savings

  • Choose one premium round and make it count.
  • Share transport instead of booking scattered rides.
  • Check package inclusions in writing.
  • Use twilight only when daylight and pace make sense.

Spend where it helps

A caddie or forecaddie at an unfamiliar course may save more frustration than it costs, especially on blind shots or tricky greens.
