Money-Saving Tips for San Francisco
- Walk instead of riding — 4 courses here are walkable, saving $20-30/round on cart fees.
- Book a house that sleeps your full group — per-person lodging drops dramatically with 8+ people.
- Mix in casual spots — 2 restaurants here are under $30/person.
- Hire a private chef for one night — often cheaper than a $$$$ restaurant for large groups, and the house becomes the venue.
- Use the planner to compare different course/lodging combos and find the sweet spot for your budget.
