Enjoy Your Round of Golf After Finding Out a Few Facts About the Course

2016/7/20 11:50:21

Before you head off to a golf course to play a round, you should check the website or call the office to find out a few facts. These include dress code, green fees, tee times, and more.

If you have your sights set on a particular golf course, there are a few things to clear up before you go. Doing some preparation first will allow you to you relax and enjoy the day when you arrive. Consider a few details to find out before you plan your day trip involving this sport.

One of the first things to find out is the green fee. This will allow you to budget so that you can golf without spending more than you expected. Not only do you need to find out the fee for the day you go, as it changes day to day, but you should get to know what it includes. Find out if it includes taxes, a cart to get around the course, and pencils and forms to record your scores. You should also make sure there is a shop on the premises so you can get extra golf balls, gloves, or any other gear that you might forget at home. If you need to rent or buy clubs for the day, you should also ask about your options. These extras are not typically included in the fees, but they are nice to have access to.

Many of the popular courses encourage or even require you to reserve tee times. This ensures that you will get to play 18 holes on the day you want without any problems. Some courses have a website that allows you to book the tee time online, while others require you to call instead. Either way, it is convenient to be able to do this ahead of time. Once you book it, all you have to do is show up on time and start enjoying the day while golfing.

The general rules are also good to know. Many courses have a dress code where you have to wear a shirt with a collar. In many cases, though, the staff would rather tell you what not to wear rather than what you should wear. For example, most locations claim that cut-off shorts, denim, t-shirts, and athletic wear are not allowed to be worn while golfing. If you are not sure what to wear, you should either ask any friends who are experienced at this sport, or call the location to find out what the staff recommends.

It is also a good idea to look at a map of the greens before you go. Many websites have one, so familiarize yourself with where the restrooms, clubhouse, and practice facilities are. This will allow you to check in quickly, and then head to the pro shop or restaurant right before or after your game without getting lost on the property.

Whether you decided on a location due to a friend's advice, or just compared several courses in order to choose the best one, you should find out these facts prior to going. A little preparation can ensure that you maximize your time, and you can find most of this information on the website of the chosen location.
