Looking for a great deal on green fees?  One way is to sign up on an email list at your local course.  Specials and discounts are sent directly to your inbox.  Only problem with this method is the large amount of email you'll receive and have to wade through each day.  The best solution, in my opinion, is the online discount tee time websites.  Here are some that I've run across while looking for a good deal:

 GolfNow.com:  Probably the biggest one out there.  In addition to providing tee times and discounts, they also have a reward program that gives you free golf and other prizes after you've made X number of tee time purchases.  We at RCH use them quite a bit. 

TeeTimeWatch.com:  In addition to their discount tee time program, they also offer the option to purchase discount certificates.  These certificates are printed online and you present them to the course as payment at the time of play.  According to their website, the certificates normally offer the best discounts. 
 

EZLinks.com:  This website provides discount tee times, regular tee times, and a "name your price" discount.  With the "name your price" option, you enter the dollar amount you are willing to pay for the tee time you choose, and if EZLinks accepts your offer, the tee time is yours.
  
                             
GolfHound.com:  Similar to the others, they also offer links to golf schools in your area, a handicap tracking system, and other golf related products. 


These are just a few of the many websites that promote discount tee times.  There are also many sites that promote golf vacation packages and offer very reduced prices for both your lodging and golfing.  Just go to your favorite search engine (there's one on this page) and type in "golf vacation discounts" and you'll see that there are a lot of different websites offering these packages. 

Oh, and another option:  Go to the golf course website where you plan on playing.  Most of them now post "daily specials", have online coupons and other discount offers some of which are better than what you can find on the above websites.  So, next time you're getting ready to golf, save some green and try some of these money saving options.
