About
FairwayRates lists what a round of public golf in California actually costs, with the source and the date for every price.
Where the prices come from
Every rate is copied from the course's or city's official rate card, or from the course's own online booking page, and labeled with the date we checked it. Online booking prices are the lowest qualifying price we saw for a specific tee date; they change by time of day.
"Not posted" means we couldn't find that price on an official source. Rates change without notice, so always confirm with the course before you play.
How rankings work
Rankings use the cheapest weekday 18-hole rate at any tee time, including posted twilight and super-twilight rates (which may not leave time to finish 18 before dark). Walking and with-cart prices are ranked separately and never mixed. When the lowest weekday price is a twilight rate, the regular range is shown next to it. Nine-hole courses, courses without a posted rate, and courses where the cart status is unclear are listed but not ranked.
