6. Booking tips

1. Compare before you book. We check GolfNow, TeeOff, Supreme Golf and each course's own booking page. This week the cheapest price came from: TeeOff (11), GolfNow (1), Course site (1).
2. Watch the booking fee. Our prices include any fee the site showed (for example, the $17.98 Golf Center at Palm Desert deal includes a $2.99 GolfNow fee). Desert Willow books direct with no booking fees. Woodhaven Country Club's course site adds a $1.99 online booking fee for public players.
3. Play late or midweek. Afternoons and weekdays are usually cheaper. Always confirm on the booking page.
4. Mind the sunset. Days are getting shorter in fall, so check sunset time and pace of play before booking a late round.
5. Weekend tip. When we checked on a Friday night, Saturday inventory was thin and Sunday had more choice.
6. Peak season. Book 30 to 60 days out for peak season.
7. Check closures first. Fall overseeding closes many desert courses in October. See the dates above or the live closures page.
