Top 100 Golf Courses at the Best Prices

by

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…

From the Shop – Golf Instruction 2.0

by

One of the highlights of my job is getting to help people get better at golf. The joy on a golfer’s face when they find out that “they can do it, really do it” is indescribable. Helping an avid golfer’s who’s been playing a long time is the most rewarding. These golf nuts have tried countless training aids, read several golf instruction books, subscribe to all golf magazines (including ones from overseas), and have spent untold amounts of money (and maybe a wife or two) just to shave a couple more strokes off their handicap.

The Truth About the Driver

by

In a study of 1,500 amateur golfers, not one with a handicap of 14.0 or higher could hit the fairway 50 percent of the time with a driver. Chances are if you miss the fairway, you’re losing a stroke to par on the hole. So why bother using your driver all day for that one great shot? The way I see it, if the club can’t help your game, get it out of your bag. Seriously, play a round with only your three wood, not only will you get a chance to play different clubs, I’ll bet you’ll keep the ball in play more effectively.
