I am trying to finally put together a budget for golf and wanted to know what y’all are spending. I know everyone is at different stages of their life and have different budgets. But what do y’all average every month on

Green fees
Equipment
Lessons
Miscellaneous

I’m going to try to keep it to $200 a month.

Also, what’s the breakdown of where your money goes?

I normally spend under $400 each month. That number can go up or down with different variables though.

$100-$200 for green fees
$50 for balls (although this number has gone down as my skills increase and I don't lose near as many)
$100 for drinks or snacks

On a normal month, I'll spend $150-200 on greens fees just depending on how many times I play

A lot.

Just golf averages about $500.

Add in tournaments and extracurricular after golfing and that number is at least doubled.

This time of the year I'm playing at least 3 times a week.

I don't hunt anymore and I rarely fish. Golf is my primary get away.

400-500. I have a junior membership at a club that I don't get to use nearly enough. Don't really pay for much else. I can't wait for the day I can use the membership more.

$300-$400

That number's probably a little inflated right now because I've recently bought shoes, 5 dozen balls and a new bag. So I won't have those expenses for a while, it'll probably go down to around $250-$300 a month

ETA: That's playing 6-8 times a month

I am playing 3x/week during these months. Easily $500+/month.

I guess the good news is I can't play from NOV-APR so its $0 in those months

Try to keep it under 200$
I pay 107$ a month for a membership then just have to pay for cart fee when I play.

60.00 per week. 35-40 for green fees, 10 for food, and the rest for beer. Gift certificates for balls and gloves.

My wife allots $400 per month for me. I never spend that much though.

Green fees/cart $45/wk on avg $180
Beer for golf $12/wk $48
Equipment (balls, tees) $30/month $30

TOTAL $258 or so...

Just spent almost $1000 on golf in the last month. New driver ($320) and a Myrtle Beach 4 Round trip ($600).

Now I want a new bag to replace my C120. Want to get a Ping Hoofer since all my clubs are Pings anyway. Dang thing is $240 though...

You guys like this color? I'm kinda diggin it.

I guess I’ve never really paid attention. Golf is probably a very small dent into my overall income/savings. Let’s list it out:

$300 month club dues
$300 month club bar/other fees
$200 month playing random courses outside of my club
$50 in maybe a box of Pro Vs a month if that

I haven’t bought new clubs in 3-4 years.

It’s a very cheap sport honestly.

It's because you're too trashy to get into the good Houston clubs

Looks sweet. Kinda looks like some of the recent snowboarding style trends.

But really, it's about whether you like it or not.
$250 isn't bad for that.

Try to keep it around $200-$250. With 2 lessons a month, it's easily over $350.
