Your turn: What other golf deals do you know of, either locally or nationally?

Another great golf discount website is http://www.ezlinks.com!! We’ve used the tee time specials offer and have golfed for less than half price. The only thing is that you have to reserve and pay online, and there are no same-day cancellations allowed. There are also a limited number of tee times (and courses) available. Overall, great deals, though! Thanks for the info, Carrie! Golf can be such an expensive hobby–it’s nice to find discounts!
Check around to your favorite course for “juniors play free” times. Many of them have a night where 1 junior plays free for each paying adult throughout the season. Also, a few courses are offering “date nights” with pkgs around $50 (where I’ve seen them) for dinner, golf, drinks, etc.
The National Sports Center golf course (not sure of the name) has coupons in the money mailer that comes in your mailbox for Buy one Get one free round; free drink, $15 off 18 hole green fee and cart, on free 9 hold round with cart rental, and free bucket range balls with the purchase of one. Some good deals if you live in the area.
I’ve purchased half priced golf coupons from http://www.golfing-deals.com. Their discounted green fees have allowed my wife and I to try a few courses that would have otherwise been out of our budget.
