For those who are just starting to play golf, the cost is quite high. Because all the money from learning to play, costumes, sets of clubs… must be invested.

According to PV’s research, first, “newbie” needs to invest in a basic golf course with tuition from 1,000 to 2,000 USD for about 3 months. This fee can be increased if the instructor is known. In addition, students also have to spend money to rent clubs (if they are not in a hurry to buy), rent yards, rent balls…

To play golf, the most expensive investment is a set of golf clubs. Usually an average set of golf clubs will cost around $1,500 – $2,000. Better clubs can cost tens of thousands of dollars. However, at the beginning, golfers just need to get old clubs or mid-range brands to reduce costs. Even many golfers choose not to buy new clubs but spend 25 USD to rent golf clubs.

In addition, players also need to spend some money on golf fashion. This clause, golfers can decide to buy genuine goods or export Vietnamese goods to save costs. However, the deeper the person “falls into the pit”, the greater the level of spending on costumes, so the cost of costumes and accessories will increase over time. As singer Hien Ho is causing a fever because of a love affair, a set of golf toys checked in on social networks is priced at more than tens of millions of dong.

In addition, golfers can also join and buy a membership card of a certain golf course. This is mostly chosen by previous golfers because if you are a temporary player, the cost of each round is very expensive. Depending on the yard, the cost for the membership card will be about 20 – 25,000 USD per year.

Now with the competition of golf courses, this level can be reduced but not too much. With special private and high-class golf courses, the price can be up to 50 – 60,000 USD.

Each time on the course, the golfer must bear the cost of playing golf for each round of the course. In Vietnam, golf course fees are usually divided into 3 types:

For members, the fee ranges from 15-30 USD per play. Guests of members have to pay a higher price, about 60-80 USD. Fees for visitors are the highest, up to 100 USD.

When starting out, not a member, once a week on a weekday, golfers have to spend $ 80-100 for an 18-hole round of golf, on weekends the fee will increase depending on the course. In particular, the courses all have a good tee time (reservation) at a good price. Playing on weekdays, tee time after 14 o’clock will also be cheaper than other time frames on weekends.

In addition, golfers can book through an agent or golf booking application, which can save 30 – 50% on golf fees.

This is the new golf fee, not to mention the tea and water, the tip for Caddie (waitress) is at least 500,000 VND per session, or more if the guest is generous. Private electric car rental fee is from 500,000 to 800,000 VND. Finally, there will be the cost of meals after each practice at 5-star restaurants on the golf course. Here, golfers will pay about 500,000 VND or more depending on the dish chosen.

Thus, each time on the course, golfers need to spend at least 4-5 million VND. If you go out to the field regularly, every month golfers spend tens of millions of dong for this luxury hobby.
