Firestone guest fees

[stevedg1011]

I have been invited by a member to play Firestone this weekend. Has anyone played there as a guest before. I know its pretty pricey if you have to stay on site and play, but I will be playing with a member.

 

I asked him what I should expect to pay, but he wasn't sure. I am thinking at least $150 right?

 

Thanks

I think it's $165. I could be wrong, but it's in that ballpark. It depends on course too, but I'd expect to pay at or around $150

We will be playing the South course, which most likely has the highest fees of the three courses. I would think $165 is about right. Thank you

lucky guy... golfnow had deals for the north course last week... 125 and 150 were the rates for 18 that they advertised so i would say plan on 200$ so anything under will be a welcomed surprise

I saw those deals as well. My only hope is that because I am an invited guest of a member, that the greens fees will be slightly lower. Even if they are not, I guess $150-200 isn't so bad. It's not like I get the chance to play there every week.

 

It's also cool to be able to try the course while it is still in tournament conditions. I'm told roughs will still be quite deep and greens will be brutally fast. The tees will be back to their normal locations, but I still might try to hit one from 667 on 16, because 590 just isn't long enough!!

yea that's definitely an awesome bonus.. the golfnow deals were only for the north course.. so a chance to play the south especially a week after the pros were just there it's a pretty cool thing to do..

Be sure and check out the Mens Locker room area down below, huge area with multiple drink stations, TVs on wall, etc. I asked why so big, and the answer I got was there were plenty of guys on tour that preferred not to be in close proximity to certain others on tour, ha!

 

Very cool place, not sure how long you are off the tee buy I'm 240 carry all the way maxed out. I stopped looking at the scorecard for hole yardages after a few holes because it was making try to hit the ball too hard. We played all the way back, 2 in our group had legit biz being at the tips. 4 or 5 of the holes were moved up, but for the most part, we played the whole track.

 

#16 is the hardest hole I've ever played, hands down.

 

Tightest lies on a driving range I've ever seen, and it matches the perfection of the fairways. Enjoy!

Accompanied guests are $240++ on the south course, $320++ if unaccompanied. Other two courses are cheaper.
