What a "from" price means

A course does not have one price. It has rates by day of the week, time of day and season, and often a separate nine-hole rate. The "from" figure on this site is the lowest rate the course publishes, so the slot you book may cost more than the number shown. A cart, range balls and tax may sit outside the green fee. Compare the full rate page on each course's own website before you choose between two courses.
