FREE Birthday Golf: Celebrate on the Cheap

FREE Birthday Golf Specials

Birthday Golf:  Celebrate with a FREE round of Golf

Golfers celebrate your birthday with a round of golf!  You took time off from work.  You cleared your calendar for that special day.  You even have permission from your significant other to escape with your buddies for a round of golf on your birthday.  Now what do you do?  Look no further.  Find out how to get the most bang for your hard earned buck.  

FREE Birthday Golf Specials

This question is asked often on the forums at Greenskeeper.org.  I have posted about it here on the GK Blog.  In fact it was the topic of one of our more popular forum threads at GK.  So popular it inspired a Greenskeeper.org Member (GKer) to compile a list.  (Much thanks to GKer KonaExpress for following his gut and compiling the list.)  Then a few weeks later the FREE Birthday Golf List also known as the FREE Birthday Golf Specials page was born.

So what is the Birthday Golf Specials page?  It’s a FREE Birthday Golf List to play FREE golf on or around your birthday.  It’s an exhaustive listing of all participating golf courses in the states of Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Texas and Washington that offer free golf on your birthday.

That is the short answer.

Now the Long Answer

Google “Free Birthday Golf” and you will be amazed at how many golf related websites ask question:  Where they can get FREE Golf on their Birthday.  Everyone has a few but the list is often incomplete and outdated.  It’s a starting point but honestly some of the advice is either too far or not in your area to make much of a difference.

To illustrate, check out some of these forum posts from other websites:  Folks in Canada are always up for free rounds of golf on their birthday even in the snow.  Midwesterners are looking for free golf.  Other niche golf related sites talk about it.  Social Media is not immune — Facebook and Twitter.  Even golf instruction websites talk about finding free golf on their birthday.

What you need is a source that provides a comprehensive list.  It’s not enough to simply type in a few choice key words into a web browser and have it spit out an answer.  You desire information relevant to you and where you want to play golf next.  That is what this Golf Birthday Specials list offers.  It’s the most current listing of golf course operators that offer you free golf on your birthday.

At Greenskeeper.org we are here for the Regular Joe Golfer.

The Birthday Specials List is free.  It’s available right now.  (Be sure to check the links listed below.)  We do however feel that

Greenskeeper.org offers you a lot of incentives to become a member.  This is just one of the many.  If you are interested in joining the community here at Greenskeeper.org you can read a little more about it here; even read about what others are saying about Greenskeeper.org.  Membership is FREE.

Membership drive aside, consider this, the FREE Birthday Golf List is a tool.  And just like any tool in your tool box it fulfills a need.  In this case where you can find the best deal for your round of golf on your birthday.  It is unlike other websites that tout a list of free golf on your birthday.  The plain fact is that this list of Birthday Golf Specials is updated often so that makes it relevant and useful.  You have a better chance of finding a golf course here that can fit your needs compared to other places.  Use our Golf Course Finder to help locate golf courses in your area that offer the free birthday golf as well as keep up-to-date on golf course maintenance.  Nothing worse than playing golf for free on your birthday AFTER they aerated the greens.

All golf courses that participate are listed by state and indexed to make it easy to find your golf course.  If a course is not listed be sure to let us know.  Our staff will confirm the existence of the special on their website and if that information is there they will call the golf course to confirm the deal exists as well as the details of the deal.

Greenskeeper.org defines FREE birthday golf as a golf course operator that first lists the deal on their website with their conditions.  And as the word FREE implies the round of golf for the birthday boy or girl is free on their birthday.  This is not a discounted rate.  FREE means free.

On an aside, savvy golf course operators use the appeal of free golf to expand their audience.  As they view it, it opens the golfer to the possibility to playing a golf course they would not normally play and bring a few buddies in the process.  If they like the conditions of the course they may pass on those favorable words whenever other golfers ask them where to play their next round of golf.  Don’t take my word for it.  Advice coming from a credible source or even “word of mouth” comments have a lot of traction for marketing and savvy golf course operators take heed.

Don’t believe us.  You can do things the hard way.  But why when that information is here.  It’s current.  It’s relevant and you can decide where to play your next round of golf.  Throw in the fact we have current golf course reviews written by credible golfers like yourself that describe what their round of golf was like at the course you may want to play, it’s a winning combination — a powerful 1-2-3 punch.  It takes a lot of the guesswork out of the equation.

How can you use this Birthday Specials List?

You now know why the Birthday Golf Specials list is so fantastic.  Here are some suggestions on how you can use this list to your benefit.

Think of the Birthday Golf Specials list as keys to the kingdom.  Work it right and you can play some really great, premium daily-fee golf courses FREE.  Couple that with the golf course reviews at Greenskeeper.org and you can make some pretty informed choices on where to play your next birthday round.

If you haven’t heard about this list well you’re in luck.  Now you can benefit from my personal experience using the Birthday Golf Specials page as well as one extreme golfer:  Nickesquire.

Here is some inspiration.

Tustin Ranch Golf ClubA buddy’s birthday was coming up last year and we honestly did not know where to play golf.  We knew we did; just not where.  We knew we could get out on his birthday but we didn’t have a clue where to play.  Enter the Birthday Golf Specials list from Greenskeeper.org.  Using the latest golf course reviews and the Birthday Golf Specials List we were able to narrow it down to a single golf course — Tustin Ranch Golf Club.

For those of you who don’t know where Tustin Ranch is located, it’s in Tustin, California just behind the “Orange Curtain.”  It’s a higher-end daily fee golf course that sports some really great golf over 6800 yards.  Tustin places the bar high on customer service and it shows.  Staff and management greet you with a smile and take care of you.  It was a nice touch for my buddy’s birthday.  Frankly it was a great change of pace from playing municipals and the golf conditions were fabulous.  Now, whenever someone asks about where to play some free birthday golf in the OC, Tustin is at the top of my list.  Find out more on Tustin Ranch Golf Club, check out my review and others on Greenskeeper.org.

That’s my story.

Now consider what one of Greenskeeper.org’s member Nickesquire did.  Honestly this isn’t for the faint of heart but definitely an adventure.  Read on O’ intrepid explorer!

To celebrate his birthday, Nickesquire decided not to play one course but six golf courses over three days leading up to the Memorial holiday a few months ago.  It was a daunting task to say the least and the Blog.Greenskeeper.org was fortunate to commemorate this event with a series of blog posts.  Find out more of his adventure in detail from the links below.  Here is the short list of the golf courses he did play to celebrate his birthday.

Birthday Golf – The GK Way (Part III)

FREE Birthday Golf Specials

Greenskeeper.org LogoPart 3 and summary so far for one of members Nickesquire who took it upon himself to test out the GK Birthday Golf List and put her to the test.  Here are his conclusions so far.  

It was a fun but tiring week.

There are only a couple of more local courses I am going to hit on B-Day deals this week. I can get almost as good a deal on the lower end courses with different online specials playing whenever I want and when it would be more convenient for me. That is preferable to utilizing a $15 B-day special that is 150 to 200 miles round trip away.

While few other than myself or Sixpex would go to the extreme I did last week, I would definitely encourage everyone on GK to utilize B-Day specials and enjoy/support some of your favorite courses.

Rather than the unknown, I now have a few more options with personal knowledge if I am in the Inland Empire, Orange County or San Diego areas for golf.

Taking into account both layout & current course conditions of the new courses played out of my normal geographic area…

Best course I played during the B-Day week: Crossings at Carlsbad

Above average courses I would look forward to playing again when in the area: Legends & Riverwalk

Average courses I would not hesitate to go back to if in the area but would probably not drive specifically for: Dos Lagos, both Classic and Players at Mile Square.

And finally the below average course I would likely never play again: Shorecliffs.

And all the fairly local courses in my regular rotation that I have either already played B-Day rounds on or will by weeks end, River Ridge Lakes & Vineyard(often), Soule Park (when I can get up to Ojai) and Elkins Ranch (Occasionally), I will continue to work into my regular local rotation.

I personally would like to thank all the courses that offer B-Day incentives. I wonder why more courses do not. Seems like they are missing the boat from a marketing perspective? While Shorecliffs struck out with me, Crossings, Legends and Riverwalk will all definitely get my future business because their B-day specials got me in the door to experience their facilities.
