Both inflation and golf’s surging demand have contributed to rising green fees, which the National Golf Foundation says have climbed 16 percent cumulatively in the U.S. over the past four years.
To help you find more bang for your buck, we tasked our 1,800+ course-ranking panelists to identify the best value courses in the country—courses combining compelling architecture with reasonable green fees.
Editor’s note: The prices shown range from weekday twilight to standard weekend rates.
We urge you to click through to each individual course page for bonus photography, drone footage and reviews from our course panelists. Plus, you can now leave your own ratings on the courses you’ve played … to make your case for a value course we might’ve missed on this list, or why your favorite should be ranked higher.
Explore Golf Digest’s new Course Reviews section where you can submit a star rating and evaluation on all the courses you’ve played. We’ve collected tens of thousands of reviews from our course-ranking panelists to deliver a premium experience, which includes course rankings, experts’ opinions, bonus course photography, videos and much more.
