Budget Golf Courses
Budget courses prove you don't need to spend big to have a blast on the course. Under $60 green fees with courses that are still well-maintained, fun to play, and perfect for groups focused on the overall trip experience. Many are walkable, most have solid practice facilities, and they free up cash for everything else your crew wants to do.
We track 50 budget-tier courses across 45 destinations in 24 states, with green fees averaging $28–$48 per round with cart. Top of the list right now is Charleston Municipal Golf Course (The Muni) in Charleston, SC, rated 4.4★. Every course below comes from a real destination guide — click through for the full course profile (yardage, style, standout hole) or the destination itself for lodging, dining, and the rest of the trip.
Tiers are assigned per-course, not per-destination — a single trip can mix a budget round in the morning with a splurge on a bucket-list or premium course later in the trip. That's the whole point of building tiers in the first place: most golf trips aren't one tier top to bottom, they're a mix that balances the budget against the bucket list. Use the filter above to jump between tiers, or hit the planner below to build a full itinerary that blends them automatically based on your group's budget.
