The article explores the perception of golf as an expensive sport due to costs associated with membership, green fees, equipment, and lessons. However, the game has evolved to offer more affordable ways to play, including alternative formats like chip-and-putt and adventure golf. While some high-end clubs may have steep fees, there are numerous courses where one can play for £30-£40, and online booking websites offer deals. The industry is making efforts to make golf more accessible, with options like flexible and family memberships and free junior memberships at certain clubs. Despite economic challenges, golf remains a popular and beneficial sport with various cost-effective options available for players. [Extracted from the article]
