Public is not always available
A publicly bookable course may still be sold out for your date or have special group policies. Public means there is a normal booking pathway, not that an itinerary is confirmed.
Resort golf has its own rules
Hotel-adjacent courses may have separate guest eligibility, rates, cancellation and arrival requirements. Never assume the hotel reservation itself includes golf.
Restricted courses require care
Some acclaimed courses are private or accessible only through qualifying resort programs. A concierge should not promise a tee time that the operator has not authorized.
Compare actual planning tradeoffs
Consider travel from the hotel, tee-time availability, rentals, group size, cancellations and desired atmosphere. A well-matched public course can be better for a group than a famous but unrealistic option.
Always verify before paying
Consult the linked official course sites and ask about the precise date, group size and eligibility. Our comparison is editorial guidance, not an official course partnership or live booking engine.
Compare actual course options
Course policies and current availability can change. Use the official links on each course profile; do not treat editorial guidance as a confirmed reservation.
Practical checklist before requesting a quote
- Public booking: confirm the group-size policy, cancellation window and whether rental clubs are available.
- Resort booking: verify both course eligibility and any hotel-related requirements for your particular guests.
- Restricted or private booking: never treat a concierge introduction as a confirmed right of access.
- For all categories: compare the total day, not only the headline green fee or reputation.
- Record the original written supplier confirmation, including date, participants, inclusions and payment deadline.
