Flamborough Head - paid £10 twilight fee and there's plenty of time in the summer to finish.


Favorites like Kington & Bull Bay offer similar bargains, but I didn't take advantage of those.

I note that Silloth is still £49 a round - probably the least expensive of the top 100 courses. But, you'll need to factor in at least a dozen lost balls!

Brian, the phrase "Respect the game" is a joke itself, in this case defining "the game" as "the premise of the thread."

Just as Is She Hot? is not the same game as Would You Do Her?, the game of Cheapest Greens Fee you Look Forward to Paying Again is not the same game as Best Deal you Ever Got. Respect the game.

Inglewood in Thornton, PA.  I paid like $15 - 20 during the week, it was a fun design and the guy I was paired with was great company.

Jeffersonville GC in Norristown, PA.  It's $20 to walk during the week and is a Donald Ross design they keep in great shape for the most part

Bunker Hill in Brush, Co.  It's the  9 hole course off the highway between Denver and Ballyneal.  There are few bunkers and no hill, it is an American Legion outpost named after the famous battle site in Boston.  Love the name, love the course and plan on playing every time I am in the region.  Price, if you have to ask you are illiterate.

I apologize in that case.  I deal with the IRS on a daily basis, so I'm used to assuming the worst.  If we start the Would You Do Her game, my answer would be Marisa Miller and the answer would be a definitive yes.

I stand by Granville as the cheapest fee I look forward to paying.

Harrison Hills, at $28 to walk, is well worth a return visit.

What is the Langford/Moreau with few/zero bunkers that Jud T loves?  Pretty sure it is Spring Valley CC in Salem, WI.  $18 to walk on weekends.

It would go on my list of inexpensive, but fun and interesting courses to play, along with several mentioned (Harrison Hills, Lawsonia, Aiken, Soule Park, Rustic Canyon, et al).

That's correct: Spring Valley in Salem, Wisc.

Another great bargain for a Langford is Kankakee Elks. Only $20 to walk.

 In England: Notts... (although im sure this was because we played with James Boon, but it was ridiculously cheap for such a great course)

 In the US:  World Woods, Rustic Canyon

Another Cheap Langford is the Vincennes Elks which keeps changing names.  Langford courses are so cheap you could call him the MacDonald's of architecture, oh wait...make that the Taco Bell of architecture.  Honestly, they are cheap for a reason.

$22 for Jawbone Creek Country Club

Course where I learned to play. Seldom get back there.

EDIT. Couldn't help notice Soule Park's several mentions. I had thought about putting it down in my original post. Played it again for $29 the day before KP last year.

White Castle sounds like a horrible idea 362 days of the year, but on one of those other three days I get irrationally excited at the mere mention of it to the point where I always end up eating it once a year and feeling happy about the decision for exactly two hours. I've never gotten nearly as excited about a Bendelow, but it also doesn't sound nearly as horrible. He's more like Domino's pizza - nobody will gag if you order it but nobody's gonna make a Harold and Kumar movie about it either.

Perhaps not totally in the spirit of the thread, but I recall playing some of the Irish courses for dirt cheap with a student ID--I think I paid 20-25 Irish pounds (dating myself here) to play Lahinch.  I'd love to pay the equivalent to play there again.

Put me in the Rustic Canyon crowd. Fortunately, I will be in LA Jan 13 and 14 with time to play. Hope I can catch a game there, or at Soule Park, or the slightly more costly Olivas Links.

Preston Country Club: http://www.prestoncountryclub.com/  (I'll stick with just one "greens fee" rather than listing a whole bunch of courses.)
Rates: Mon-Fri:    $25.00; Sat, Sun & Holiday   $32.00; in both cases includes cart and green fees.

Address: Kingwood, W.Va., on the flood plain of the Cheat River - a little out of the way - but very close to private high-end Pikewood National Golf Club, so if you're playing Pikewood, I'd suggest you take a little extra time and play Preston as well.  Trivial info: Pikewood National derives its name from the fact that it is located on the Kingwood Pike, State Routes 81 & 27, as the road is named from Morgantown, W.Va., to Kingwood, although from Kingwood to Morgantown it's called the Morgantown Pike.  I like Pikewood better as a couse name than Piketown - they made a good directional decision.
