Why Nine Holes of Golf Makes for a Great Date
Tired of movie nights and dinners you have to dress up for? That’s okay, because there’s another exciting way to plan a date with your partner – on the golf course. Here are three great reasons why a nine-hole round of golf is the perfect way to spend time with your partner, your better half, or that new and special someone in your life.
#1 – More time to talk and connect
The first and perhaps best reason to take your next date to the golf course for a nine-hole tee time is simple – golf is a great way to connect. No other game offers the same kind of built-in space for talking, whether you’re walking from shot to shot or casually carting your way to the next hole. It seems like golf was built for this purpose, in fact, because there are so many opportunities to learn about one another, all while enjoying the stunning scenery and fresh air provided by the golf course. Plus, nine holes of golf is easy to fit into your schedule, as it can take less than two hours to play – the same amount of time as a movie! And while movies are great, the moments spent on the golf course offer much more opportunity for memory making.
#2 – Easy on the wallet
Of course, you want to impress for date night and have a great time together, but that shouldn’t mean you have to spend a fortune to enjoy a good time. Nine-hole tee times make for a terrific option, since most golf courses offer discounted rates for nine holes of golf. After all, you’re only playing half the course, so your tee time for two should only cost about half of what a full 18 will run. Best of all, many golf courses also offer twilight tee times at reduced rates, so you can plan a fun date for the late afternoon, leaving time for our next benefit.
#3 – Drinks or dinner after the round
Having a great time? Playing nine holes of golf leaves you plenty of time to extend date night and enjoy drinks, dinner, or a movie after your round wraps up. Close out the last putt of your round and head right into the clubhouse for dinner and drinks. Many golf courses and clubs have multiple restaurants to choose from right on the property, and some even offer special “wine and nine” promotions that combine your nine-hole round of golf with the opportunity to enjoy a wine tasting or happy hour specials.
