Scorecard: Golf season pass options in Lake Havasu and Laughlin

The main golf season pass in Lake Havasu is Lake Havasu Golf Club's seasonal membership: $1,125 for one month, $2,525 for three or $3,425 for six for one golfer, as seen on its membership page in October 2026. Near Laughlin, the clearest pass is at Rivers Edge in Needles, from $285 a month walking or $425 with a cart.

Few courses on the river publish a golf season pass. This guide lists the ones that do, the discount cards and local rates that do a similar job, and how many rounds each takes to pay off. All prices were seen in October 2026 and are subject to change.

Quick facts

  • Lake Havasu Golf Club seasonal membership: $1,125 (1 month) to $3,425 (6 months), individual; $1,625 to $4,625, couple.
  • Lake Havasu VIP Discount Card: $209, or $189 in the September pre-sale.
  • Rivers Edge passes: $285 monthly walking, $425 monthly with cart and range, $1,200 for 3 months.
  • Laughlin Ranch: local-resident rates with proof of a local ZIP code; a Locals Pass exists but terms are not published.
  • No published pass: Mojave Resort, Huukan, Los Lagos, El Rio, Iron Wolf.
  • Peak demand: January to March, when season passes and morning tee times sell first.

Lake Havasu golf season pass prices

Lake Havasu Golf Club, the former London Bridge Golf Club, is a 36-hole membership club that also sells public tee times. Its seasonal memberships are aimed at winter visitors.

Length Individual Couple Individual cost per month
1 month$1,125$1,625$1,125
2 months$1,925$2,675$963
3 months$2,525$3,500$842
4 months$2,925$4,025$731
5 months$3,125$4,250$625
6 months$3,425$4,625$571

Per-month figures are rounded. The club also offers a Premier membership: $3,000 initiation plus $249 a month for an individual or $349 for a family, with a 12-month commitment and $25 a round. That suits a full-time resident more than a snowbird.

How many rounds a Lake Havasu golf season pass takes to pay off

Compare against the public rates on the club's 2026/2027 season table:

Course Before noon After noon After 3 PM
Desert West, public$94$82$50
Desert East, public$82$76$48
Desert West, VIP Card$75$67$46
Desert East, VIP Card$67$60$44
Desert West, Local / Emergency Services / Military$78$70$48

A one-month individual membership at $1,125 equals about 12 morning rounds on the West at $94, or about three a week. Three months at $2,525 equals about 27 morning rounds, roughly two a week. Six months at $3,425 equals about 36, under one and a half a week. The longer you stay, the fewer rounds it takes.

The rates page does not say whether a cart is included in the daily fees, so ask what the membership covers (carts, booking privileges, guest rates) before you compare. The Lake Havasu Golf Club course guide has tees and booking details for the Desert East as well.

The VIP card: a cheaper middle option

If you will play Havasu a few times a week for a few weeks, the VIP Discount Card may be enough. It costs $209, or $189 if bought in September. On the West it saves $19 a round before noon, so it pays back in about 11 morning rounds. On the East the saving is $15 before noon. In late October 2026 the live sheet showed the East at $82 public and $69 VIP, slightly above the $67 on the rates page.

Rivers Edge: the Laughlin-area golf season pass

Rivers Edge, the City of Needles' municipal course, posts the clearest pass list near Laughlin on its 2026-27 membership page:

Pass Price
Monthly, walking$285
Monthly, with cart and range$425
3-Month, with cart and range$1,200
Annual, walking$1,350
Annual, with cart$1,850
Range pass$64.95 a month or $300 a year

The 3-month pass works out to about $400 a month, cheaper than paying monthly. Daily green fees are not published, so a pass-versus-pay comparison is not possible from the files. The course is flat, walkable and riverside, about 40 minutes from the Laughlin bridge, and it runs on Pacific time. See the Rivers Edge course guide and our Needles golf course guide.

Local rates and other options

  • Laughlin Ranch: local residents with proof of a local ZIP code paid $95-$105 in winter and peak and $50-$60 in midsummer on the 2027 table, against $137-$169 for non-residents in winter and spring. That saves about $50 a round. The club mentions memberships and a Locals Pass without terms. See the Laughlin Ranch course guide.
  • Iron Wolf: sells memberships, but no prices were found, and no resident rate, punch card or season pass is published.
  • Cerbat Cliffs: Kingman's municipal course offers annual passes; details were not found.
  • Chaparral: the city-run Bullhead course offers social memberships with pool access; golf pass terms are not published.

No winter pass was found for Mojave Resort, Huukan, Los Lagos or El Rio. For those, the savings come from GolfNow deals, summer rates and hotel or Avi Casino KOA guest discounts; see cheap golf in Laughlin.

Couples get better value from the couple memberships: three months for two at Lake Havasu Golf Club cost $3,500, against $5,050 for two individual memberships.

The no-pass alternative: twilight and booking timing

If a golf season pass does not fit, two habits cut the daily cost almost as much. At Lake Havasu Golf Club, public rates fall after 3 PM to $50 on the West and $48 on the East, though in midwinter that leaves only about two and a half hours of light. At Emerald Canyon in Parker, which publishes no pass, the winter 2025-26 rate was $80 with cart when booked within 7 days and $90 further out, with $59 from 1 PM and $40 for nine holes after 2 PM. A Havasu golfer who plays one morning round, one twilight round and one Emerald Canyon round a week would spend $224 a week at public rates, or roughly $970 a month, close to the one-month membership.

Timing your purchase

The VIP card is cheaper in September, before most winter visitors arrive. Lake Havasu Golf Club's West course closes for overseed in October (no public times from Oct 29 to Nov 5, 2026), so a membership starting in early November may begin with the East only. January to March is the peak, when season passes sell first, so sort out the pass before you arrive.

For a full season plan, read Laughlin winter golf and the snowbird golf schedule for Laughlin. If you are choosing where to park the RV, see Lake Havasu RV resorts. For another river town's passes, compare Yuma golf passes.

What is the cheapest golf pass near Laughlin?

Rivers Edge in Needles sells a monthly walking pass for $285 and a monthly pass with cart and range for $425. Its 3-month pass with cart and range is $1,200, about $400 a month. Prices are subject to change.

Does Laughlin Ranch sell a season pass?

Laughlin Ranch mentions memberships and a Locals Pass but publishes no terms. It does publish local-resident rates for golfers with proof of a local ZIP code: $95 to $105 in winter and peak on the 2027 table, against $137 to $169 for non-residents.

Is the Lake Havasu VIP card worth it?

Can snowbirds get local rates?

Sometimes. Laughlin Ranch asks for proof of a local ZIP code, and its course notes suggest snowbirds with an area address ask whether their winter address qualifies. Lake Havasu Golf Club's lower rate is for locals, emergency services and military; its qualifying rules are not in our research.

Do Iron Wolf or the Fort Mohave courses sell winter passes?

Iron Wolf sells memberships but no prices were found, and no resident rate, punch card or season pass is published. No winter pass was found for Mojave Resort, Huukan, Los Lagos or El Rio. Call the pro shops.
