Published green fees in Lee, Collier and Charlotte counties, split into peak season (December–April) and summer. Read from each course's own rate page where it publishes one, and from a booking site where it doesn't — every row marked unverified came from somewhere other than the course.
Sharply. But the honest answer is that almost no Southwest Florida course publishes both seasons. Of 45 publicly playable courses we checked, only 6 post a peak rate and a summer rate you can compare. Among those 6, peak runs about 2.2× the summer rate, a useful signal, not a statistic, on a sample that small. That gap in published pricing is exactly why no reliable seasonal comparison exists anywhere.
Every figure here is a rate somebody published — nothing is estimated, averaged, or inferred. Most come from the course's own rate page or its municipal parks page. The rest come from a booking site that lists the course, and those are marked unverified in the tables below, because we have not seen the course itself confirm them. Rates change several times a season, and most Florida quotes include a cart. Treat any of these as a published starting point, not today's quote.
Publicly playable courses ranked by their lowest published peak-season rate.
Snowbird season, basically. Winter residents and visitors pack the region from around December into April, and course pricing tracks the calendar right along with them. Come May, the same course that charged top dollar in February often cuts that rate substantially, and holds it there through October.
Depends on the day, not the channel. A platform might undercut the course's posted rate on a slow Tuesday afternoon and lose to it on a Saturday morning once you add their booking fee. Pull up both for the exact date and time you want before committing to either.
Plenty of them, yes. A twilight tee time in peak season is frequently the best discount a rate-holding course will offer you all day. The catch: the start time isn't fixed, it chases sunset, so call the course instead of guessing the hour.
Where a course allows it, yes. Summer heat and humidity turn an early tee time from a nice-to-have into a necessity, and some Southwest Florida courses are cart-mandatory regardless of season anyway. Walking permissions are noted per course on the public courses page where the course states them.
Rates verified August 3, 2026 from each course's own published rate page or municipal parks page, except where a row is marked unverified — those came from a third-party booking site, are dated on the course's own page, and have not been confirmed by the course. Green fees in Florida commonly include a cart; confirm what a quote covers before booking. Course locations and contact details come from OpenStreetMap contributors under ODbL.
