Budget Beater: Book Discount Tee Times With The Golf18 Network

image

With over 3,500 courses in their data base, the Golf18 Network has a course to please almost every golfer out there. From booking a weekend tee time at your local course, to planning where to play on your next vacation, they have you covered. The Golf18 Network utilizes the ability to work with local courses to book out their last minute tee times to save players 50, 60 and even 70% over booking directly through the course. Of course, that doesn’t always mean that there is going to be a weekend slot for when you want to play, but keep checking back as times open up based on what the course releases.

The Golf18 Network has booked out over 3.2 million tee times for users throughout the world, Based on a 50% savings off the average round cost of $40, that equals $64 million in savings for golfers that have used the service. Just doing a check as I type this, I can grab a tee time at the Nile Shrine Golf Club about 45 minutes from me for 32% off the regular rates. If I want to play closer to home, Blue Boy West is listed at 62% off the original pricing (and has a cost of just $15 a round!) and is only 15 minutes from my home.

Probably the strongest aspect of the Golf18 Network is the fact that they cover so many markets in the US and into Canada. Don’t expect miracles, like getting on to Pebble Beach for $50, but sign up for their mailing list and try them out today. Currently, they are running a special that will give you a $25 credit after you book your first tee time. That would mean I get a $15 round at a local course and $25 to spend on a nicer course later – or just use it for another free round at Blue Boy. The deal gets even better when you use the Golf18 Rewards program. When you book a number of tee times during the year, you earn credits, and reduce the fees you will pay for booking tee times all year long. If you book 50 tee times in a calendar year, your account will receive a total of $240 in credits and you will never have to pay a booking fee again. The more you book, the more you earn.

Overall, the Golf18 Network is a great way to stretch your golfing budget a bit further. While they don’t have access to course in every market, the ones that they do have offer up an exceptional value and real savings. The Golf18 Network captures the spirit of my “Budget Beater” series to a “T” – great prices, good value and lots of opportunity to save money and still play great golf. If you are new to the program, don’t forget to sign up for an account and get your $25 credit after you book your first tee time!
