Nobody likes giving up an arm and a leg to play a round of golf at a top 100, high-end golf club. Some courses will even charge you up to $500 for a round. Luckily, with such high rates these courses rarely have full tee sheets, and have recently been joining the growing number of courses available for bookings online. Here is where you can benefit – if you planning a golfing roadtrip around the States, be sure to take a peak at GolfNow.com or GolfHub.com – each of which can give you some great deals, and cheap golf at some real beauties of golf courses.
I did a little research, and came up with this list from the list of Top 100 US Golf Courses You Can Play. These are the courses available through bookings online – and with it, comes some pretty decent discounts. You’d be surprised at some of the awesome tracks they have on these sites…
