How to read the prices

Most Orlando public courses use dynamic pricing, so a "from" price on GolfNow is the cheapest tee time on one day, usually late afternoon or a hot deal. It is a fair way to compare courses, not a quote for a morning round in March. Where a course publishes a rate card, we show its cheapest and dearest rates. Add sales tax, and check whether a cart is included.

Public courses that post no price

These take public tee times, but our files have no dollar price, so check the booking page:

Picking a public course by budget

  • Under $30: the GolfNow specials at Deer Creek, Polo Park East, RedTail, Fairways and Sweetwater, or a nine at WP9 or The Tooth. Expect simple conditions; Sweetwater's are described as uneven.
  • $30 to $50: the best-value band, with Dubsdread, Rio Pinar, Eagle Creek, White Heron and Legends, plus Mayfair and Royal St. Cloud at twilight. See the Eagle Creek course guide.
  • $50 and up: Providence and Clermont National, mornings at Mayfair and Royal St. Cloud, and peak-season OCN.

For the full value picture, see cheap golf in Orlando and Orlando golf rates. Booking windows (Mayfair 14 days, WP9 3 days for the public, Grand Cypress 60 days) are in Orlando tee times.

Questions golfers ask

What is the cheapest public golf course in Orlando?

On GolfNow for November 5, 2026, the lowest prices we saw were Deer Creek RV Golf & Country Club from $14.99, Polo Park East from $15 and RedTail in Sorrento from $17.99. The Tooth at Orange County National is a $15 walking nine. These are single-day snapshots and change daily.

Which public courses in Orlando publish their rates?

Providence, Royal St. Cloud, Mayfair, Winter Park's WP9 and WP18, Casselberry and Green Valley all publish rate cards. Most others use dynamic pricing, so the only prices in our files are GolfNow snapshots.

What is the most expensive public course near Orlando?

Of the public and semi-private courses with a published price, Providence peaks highest, at $149 before noon from February 1 to March 31, 2027. Clermont National was the dearest GolfNow snapshot, from $69.99 for November 5, 2026. Resort courses such as the Ritz-Carlton Golf Club cost far more.

Is Orange County National a public course?

Yes. Panther Lake, Crooked Cat and the nine-hole Tooth are all public, booked on OCN's TeeItUp site with dynamic rates. The Tooth's Tempo Walk rate was $15.

Are the Disney golf courses public?

Yes, though our map lists Magnolia, Palm and Lake Buena Vista as resort courses. Disney hotel guests and day visitors book the same public rates and the same 90-day window. Oak Trail, the walking nine, books 30 days ahead.

What does semi-private mean in Orlando?

A member club that also sells tee times to the public. Rio Pinar, Wekiva, Twin Rivers, Kissimmee Bay, Remington, Southern Dunes and the Solivita courses are examples. Public times can be limited in peak season.

When are Orlando public golf rates lowest?

June to September. Providence, for example, drops to $69 before 2pm and $35 after 4pm from April to September 2027, against $149 before noon in February and March. Afternoon thunderstorms are the trade-off.
