A golf course website costs somewhere between $1,500 and $8,000 as a one-time project, depending on what you need built. If you'd rather not pay a lump sum, the Business Website Plan runs $299 a month on a 12-month term and includes the site build plus ongoing hosting, security, managed ads and support. There's also a $99 a month option if you already have a site and just need it managed. Which one makes sense depends on where your course is starting from.
How much does a golf course website cost, exactly
There are two ways to pay for a golf course website: all at once, or spread out monthly with more included.
A one-off build is quoted per project and typically lands between $1,500 and $8,000. Where you fall in that range depends on things like how many pages you need, whether you want online tee time booking integrated, how much photography and content you're providing versus needing help with, and whether you need a member portal or event booking system on top of the standard pages.
The other option is the Business Website Plan at $299 a month on a 12-month term. This isn't just a payment plan for the same build. It includes the custom site, plus hosting, security, technical SEO, analytics, an AI chatbot, managed Google and Meta ads, ad landing pages, two blog posts a month, and a dedicated account manager. Your ad budget for Google or Meta is paid directly to those platforms and is never marked up.
If your course already has a website you're happy with and you just need someone managing it, hosting it securely and keeping it updated, the Managed Website plan is $99 a month, month to month, cancel anytime.
Why golf course pricing varies so much
Golf courses and event venues tend to need more than a simple five-page brochure site. A few things push the price up or down:
- Tee time booking: integrating with a booking system takes more development time than a simple contact form.
- Event and wedding pages: if your course hosts tournaments, weddings or corporate outings, you likely need dedicated pages with galleries, pricing packages and inquiry forms.
- Photography and video: courses live and die by how good the property looks online. If you need professional photos or drone footage sourced, that adds to the project scope.
- Membership information: public, semi-private and private courses all present membership tiers differently, and some need gated content or login areas.
- Number of pages: a course with a pro shop, restaurant, event venue and membership program simply needs more pages than a nine-hole municipal course.
None of this means you need every feature. It just explains why one course might quote at $2,500 and another at $7,000 for what looks like a similar project from the outside.
For a concrete example, the site we built for Eaglewood Golf Course in North Salt Lake leads with a video of the property, puts tee-time booking ahead of everything else, and gives weddings, events and the on-course restaurant their own paths rather than making them fight over one homepage. That case study carries the course's own Search Console figures, so you can see what a build like that actually does once it is live.
What's actually included in the $299 a month plan
The Business Website Plan is built for course owners who don't want to think about their website again once it's live. It includes:
- A custom website built for your course, not a template someone else is also using
- Hosting and security handled for you
- Technical SEO so search engines can actually find and read your site
- Analytics so you can see how people are finding and using the site
- An AI chatbot to answer basic questions from visitors when your staff can't
- Managed Google and Meta ad campaigns, with your ad spend going straight to those platforms
- Dedicated landing pages built specifically for your ad campaigns
- Two blog posts a month
- A dedicated account manager you can actually call
This is a 12-month term. It's not the right fit for someone who just wants a static site and nothing else. It's built for course owners who want their website working as a marketing tool year-round, not just a digital brochure that sits there.
When a one-off build makes more sense
Some courses genuinely just need a website. No ongoing ad management, no monthly content, just a clean, accurate site with hours, pricing, contact information and maybe an event page. If that describes your course, a one-time project quoted between $1,500 and $8,000 is likely the better fit. You own the code, the content, the hosting and the domain outright once it's built. There's no obligation to continue paying monthly afterward.
If down the road you decide you want ongoing management, ads or content, you can always move to the Managed Website plan at $99 a month or step up to a full plan later.
What if we already have a site and just need help managing it
If your golf course already has a website you're reasonably happy with, and the issue is more that nobody's updating it, watching security, or keeping it backed up, the Managed Website plan at $99 a month covers that. It's month to month, so you can cancel anytime. This is a common starting point for courses that built a site a few years ago and just need someone keeping an eye on it now.
What's next after the website itself
For courses that want more than a managed site, the Growth Partner plan at $899 a month adds full ad management across Google, Meta, TikTok and Google Local Service Ads, plus monthly reporting and a strategy call. This is a 12-month term and it's really built for courses actively trying to grow bookings and event bookings through paid advertising across multiple channels, not just Google and Meta.
We wouldn't recommend jumping straight to that plan before you have a solid website foundation in place. Most courses start with either the one-off build or the $299 a month plan and decide later whether they need more advertising channels.
Questions to ask before you get a quote
Before you talk pricing with anyone, it helps to know the answers to a few questions:
- Do you want online tee time booking built into the site, or linked out to a third-party booking system?
- Do you host weddings, tournaments or corporate events that need their own dedicated pages?
- Do you have professional photos and video already, or will you need help sourcing them?
- Do you want ongoing ad management included, or just a website?
- Is this a one-time project, or do you want a dedicated person managing it going forward?
Having answers to these ready will make any conversation about pricing faster and more accurate, whether you're talking to us or anyone else.
The short version
A golf course website costs $1,500 to $8,000 as a one-time build, or $299 a month if you want the site plus hosting, security, SEO, managed ads and ongoing content built in. If you already have a site and just need it managed, that's $99 a month. Everything is built in house, and you own your code, content, hosting and domain either way. If you run a course or a venue, how we approach golf course websites covers the booking, events and dining problems in more depth, and the three plans side by side shows exactly what each includes.
The right price depends less on the course and more on what you actually need the site to do for you.
