Seasonal Pricing Patterns
Florida golf pricing follows a predictable seasonal arc:
- Peak season (Oct–Apr): Highest demand and prices, especially in South Florida where winter visitors arrive.
- Shoulder season (May, Sep): Moderate pricing with fewer crowds.
- Summer (Jun–Aug): Lowest prices of the year — often 25–40% below peak. Heat and afternoon storms are real considerations, but early morning tee times are typically beautiful.
