- Walk instead of riding — 3 courses here are walkable, saving $20-30/round on cart fees.
- Book a house that sleeps your full group — per-person lodging drops dramatically with 8+ people.
- Travel in the shoulder season (just before or after Spring/Fall) for lower rates on everything.
- Mix in casual spots — 2 restaurants here are under $30/person.
- Hire a private chef for one night — often cheaper than a $$$$ restaurant for large groups, and the house becomes the venue.
