The Divot Card for Golf Discounts

I learned about the Divot Card today. The Divot Card is a golf discount card that gets you “free” greens fees at Blackhawk, Chapel Hill, Cooks Creek, Cumberland Trail, Darby Creek, New Albany Links, Oakhaven, The Links at Echo Springs, and Westchester Golf Courses.

I put “free” in quotation marks because it’s not really free. You have to pay for cart rental when you go to any of these courses, and the “free” golf is limited to Monday through Thursday. The Divot Card also includes 3-4 additional discounted rounds (basically cart is thrown in for free) at these courses on weekdays. Some courses limit these additional rounds to Monday through Thursday. Others add Friday, and some even add one weekend round.

The Divot Card also gets you discounts off limited items at the pro shops of these courses and usually some free driving range balls. Cooks Creek went el cheapo and didn’t throw in any driving range balls with its Divot Card affiliation.

The Divot Card expires at all courses on December 31, 2008.

Despite all the limitations, if you can play Monday through Thursday, for $79 the Divot Card seems like a good deal. I’ll probably get one so I can review all these courses. I’ve only reviewed Westchester but still have to get the front nine on film.
