Golf courses range from casual nine-hole executive layouts to championship 18-hole facilities with full practice grounds and clubhouses. Differences come down to tee-time availability, dress codes, walking rules, and whether the facility is public, semi-private, or strictly private. A pin on a map shows location, but it will not tell you if a course requires soft spikes, allows pull carts, or demands a specific handicap to play.

Good to know
What is the difference between public, semi-private, and private golf courses?
Public courses are open to anyone who books a tee time, while private clubs require an application, initiation fee, and monthly dues for access. Semi-private courses accept public play during specific hours or days but reserve peak times for their paying members.
Do I need to bring my own clubs to play?
Most regulation facilities expect players to have their own set of clubs, though many offer rental bags for an additional fee. It is best to call the pro shop ahead of time to reserve rental clubs, especially if you need left-handed or specific shaft options.
How much does a round of golf typically cost?
Green fees vary widely based on the day of the week, time of day, and course quality. A standard 18-hole municipal or public round often runs between $30 and $80, while high-end public or resort courses can cost well over $150 per player.
