How much does it cost to make an average 18 hole golf course?
My friend and i are arguing and i’m eager to know
From scratch? I’m guessing you’re looking at a minimum of $15 million. One of my courses (my club has three) is under renovations and we have a $1.5 million budget to do so. That figure is just for the reno. Now, my club isn’t exactly ritzy…actually, nowhere near that. Add fancy clubhouses, electric golf carts, administration, operating costs, legal fees, land surveys, the building of the course, designer fees, banquet hall-style food…that should come out to a lot of millions.
How much does Las Positas golf (18 hole) cost on a weekday (Wednesday)? Prefer exact cost if possible please?
I booked on the phone and it doesn’t say the price…LAME. I looked online and I got prices from 21-50$, I just wanted a somewhat cheap round of golf. Anyways I hope someone can please help me out there.
i typed in las positas golf course in web search and for resident is 33 non resident 36 plus 14 per rider cart so it would be 47 if ya live there 50 if ya don’t . Of course I’m assuming you’ll be riding .
9 Golf Tips For Every Part of Your Game
Are you looking for golf tips for every part of your golf game? If so, then you are in the right place. We are going to give you 3 golf tips on how to hit better drives, 3 golf tips on how to hit better irons and 3 golf tips on how to hit better chip shots.
3 Golf Tips on How to Hit Better Drives
Everyone is in love with the fact of trying to get as much distance as they can from their driver. Some players are even obsessed to the point, it hurts their scores. A test with tour players was done years ago on this subject. They had them hit their drive. If it was in the fairway, fine. If it was in the rough, they had them play that ball. In addition, they put in play another ball that was in the fairway but thirty yards behind their tee shot in the rough. Believe it or not, these players scored better from the fairway thirty yards behind the original ball in the rough! That proves how important hitting it in the fairway is for all of us. Here is how you can hit better drives:
1. Make sure your ball position is correct. Many amateurs play their driver to far forward in their stance in an attempt to help the ball in the air.
2. Use a full swing but only swing 80%. This means if a full swing is normally 100mph then you are looking to stay in balance and swing at 80mph.
3. Make sure that you have the correct shaft in your driver. Many players have pre-conceived ideas that they need to hit a certain flex shaft. I would make my decision more strictly based on the ball flight.
3 Golf Tips on How to Hit Better Irons
Many players do not believe that they can improve their iron play by slowing down and making sure they have the proper club in their hand. Remember the closer that you are able to hit your irons the shorter your putts will be and then you will look like a better putter! Improve how you hit your irons with these 3 tips:
1. As simple as it sounds most players do not know the average distance that they hit each golf club. The key word here is average. How long you hit your seven-iron one time (downhill and downwind) simply does not matter. I would rather brag about the low score I shot after the round than the long seven-iron that I hit on the eighth hole!
2. Take the time while you are on the golf course to find the yardage to the front and back of the green as well as the distance to the hole.
3. Choose the club that allows you to make a full swing. This takes away many variables that can go wrong during your swing.
3 Golf Tips on How to Improve Your Chip Shots
Improving your short game and your chip shots is the quickest way to lower your scores behind improving your putting. Many players do not practice it as much because it is not as glamorous as trying to bang out the long drives. Even the best players miss greens so if you cannot chip the ball around the green, you will not be able to ever score very well. The short game of golf is where you really need to practice, so check out the following 3 tips:
1. Any time that you can hit a low shit that runs the ball up to the hole as opposed to flying it all of the way there, do it. This gives you more room for error and percentage-wise you will get you closer to the hole for the next shot, unless you make the chip shot! Do not be scared to use an eight, seven or even a five iron to get the distance that you need.3
2. Hold your finish until the ball has stopped rolling. Use this time to monitor your balance and evaluate the shot.
3. Know without a doubt where you would like the ball to land. If you claim to have trouble visualizing shots then explain where you want to land it out loud. This will accomplish the same thing.
Implement these golf tips into your game and you will see your scores go down and you will have something to talk about in the locker room!

How can a hole in one be so common? Hitting a golf ball 250 yards into a 4" hole should be a zillion to one?
I can’t understand how holes in one can be so common. It took 65 years for an NHL goalie to score a goal and they’re shooting at a 6′x4′ net. How can a golf ball land in a 4" hole from 250 yards away almost like nothing. Sometimes there are three holes in one in a week that you hear about.
a bajillion zillion people play every day so people are going to get lucky
Golf Course Re-design
What are the most important considerations for a developer when they are thinking about doing renovations or re-design of their golf course?
A lot of the older courses that have been around for a while are looking to improve their courses either to attract new membership or to reduce maintenance costs.
Generally what we suggest is to do a hole by hole analysis and then a long range master plan. We look at things like safety, drainage, bunker placement, course conditioning, playability, tree removal and shade and overall course conditioning.
Once that plan is complete, then we work with the course to develop a phasing plan and a budget for improvements. We want to work together to prioritize the changes.
What can you tell us about creating holes that play fairly?
This is an important issue because we want to create holes that are challenging to all levels of play, yet not so difficult that beginning golfers are punished for their lack of ability. For example, if the greens are large enough and the hole is relatively short, we will sometimes create a more difficult green. This makes for a challenge for all levels of golfers.
One of the things we take into consideration is the type of golf course we are designing – who will typically be playing on it. Certainly on the public courses we want to make them play a little easier and more forgiving. If we don’t accommodate for the weaker players, the courses will end up playing dreadfully slow and become frustrating for everybody. We want to make it so that people will go out and have fun and enjoy the course.
One of the problems that I see happening is that some of the courses opt for faster greens and this can make some of their holes very difficult because the beginning player doesn’t typically have the ability to spin the ball as well, so having their shots stick on the green becomes more challenging on these fast greens.
Are you seeing a lot of courses that want to extend the length of their courses these days because of all the advances in equipment and the ability for people to hit the ball farther?
I think technology has certainly impacted the game. I think we’re finding that people are contacting us because they are faced with a variety of problems. It may be that they are looking to add some additional length or simply eliminating obsolete bunkers. With people driving the ball further, some bunkers simply don’t come into play as they were once intended to do.
We’re also seeing a lot of interest in improving course conditioning and playability. People are starting to recognize that they are not competing as well with some of the other new courses that have come into their area. Sometimes they simply feel that they need to improve their course in order to complete with the course down the road that is longer and in better condition.
When a golf course is considering doing a renovation, what are the things that can give them the greatest returns for their investment?
If you talk to the golf course owner or the golf board, they are typically more focused on visual elements of golf course design… things like the color of the sand, the shape and contour of the greens, the treatment of the pond edges,
However, if you talk to the golf course superintendent, they’re typically most interested in maintenance issues, things like bunker drainage, trees, cart traffic, irrigation systems, etc.
So part of the process for us is to bring these groups together to educate them and help them understand the problems involved. If we can improve the overall playability, minimize the maintenance and improve the visual look of the hole, everybody is happy. What we do is walk the course with all parties involved. Then we go back to the drawing board and address all the concerns as best as we can. Then we present our recommendations to the membership so people have a better understanding of what we can be accomplished by improving the course.
What kinds of problems can arise when a golf course takes on a renovation project?
One of the primary concerns for people is that they don’t want to shut down the entire course for several months. We spend quite a bit of time considering how we can do this effectively.
One of the big issues is hiring an architect that can help you look at all these kinds of issues, including how to prevent taking the entire course out of play.
Oftentimes, we can do these projects in phases in order to minimize the impact on play.
How do you design or re-design a green?
In part, when it comes to designing a green, it is important for us to have an understanding of who will be playing the golf course. We look at how different players of varying ability will play the hole and what type of contour will penalize or reward them for a particular angle of approach.
For daily-fee courses which maintain their cutting heights at a slower speed, we generally put a little more slope in the greens and try to make them fun. For private courses and courses which might keep their greens a bit faster, we flatten the greens a little and try to divide the putting surface into different zones. We also like to provide for a preferred angle of approach and to vary the design of the green depending on whether we want to encourage an aerial or bump and run approach
Finally, we always try to design a green to will allow for water to run off in several different directions. This insures that the green will drain quickly and wont have maintenance issues caused by standing water.. These contours will make for some very interesting breaks in the green.

What is the name of the 9 hole golf course in central New Jersey that has a commercial on local TV?
I’ve seen the commercial on local TV every now and then for a 9 hole golf course around Monmouth County, New Jersey. In the commercial they mention how it leaves you time for the rest of the day and how they have greens fees as low as $12. But I can’t remember the name/location of the course. And I can’t find anything online about it.

Looking for a 9 hole golf course CHEAP?
I am looking for a 9 hole golf course that may need some work to make it nice again. Anyone have any they know of?
I have a couple of brokers looking for me but have found that most of the smaller courses I am looking at are usually not listed on a national basis and usually have a local real estate agent trying to sell them. I am looking for rural areas.
Besides getting someone professional and licensed I might check this site out
