DVC golf rates?

[Simba's Mom]

Can anyone help me find the DVC golf rates? The members' perks booklet just gives a vague "up to" a certain percentage which, if I remember, varies with time of day. However, I want the specific DVC rates. I've looked at the dvc members' site, the disneyworld site, and wdwgolf. I'm not saying that the rates aren't on any site I've checked-just that I can't find them. Can someone tell me where the specifics are?

The Disney courses are now controled by the Arnold Palmer Golf Management Co. That entity ultimately controls if you get a discount and how much. Since it took control, they no longer list exact DVC rates. You need to get the Disney resort guest rate for any particular season to estimate it. You can find those online at Disney's golf site: http://disneyworld.disney.go.com/golf/course-rates/ The discount you get is close to 35% and usually a tad better than that. For example right now the Disney resort guest rate is $139 as we are currently in the highest cost season and the discounted rate is $89 which is a tad better than 35%. Note that the discount does not apply when any other discounts apply. For example, the rate goes down significantly in the afternoon and the DVC discount does not apply to lower that rate.

Also note that you cannot book tee times on line yet for DVC rates. You need to call, 1-407-WDW-Golf, and make the tee time

Does anyone know the current status of the rental club discount? I know we had something last year, but haven't seen anything about it in this thread yet, although from something I found it leads me to believe that may have ended the end of 2012. Thanks

in december, my friend received my DVC discounted club rentals, i bring my own. I cant remember what it was exactly but it was significantly cheaper. If you call the golf number, they will tell you the cost.

We had an AM tee time and received 35% off. I just had to show my card when we arrived. You also get a voucher for a free cab to and from the resort to course.

Yes, I read that. It was the vague phrase "up to" that had me wondering what the exact discount was, and does it vary depending on the time of day? If so, what/when?

Do you have an annual pass? Discount rates are much better, especially if you have a PAP.

DH does have a PAP. I just assumed the golf discounts were the same as for the AP, which doesn't beat what I think the DVC rates might be.

Go to the annual pass website. Select sports & recreation special offers. Click on special rates at the end of the golf segment. You will find a chart of rates for AP & PAP holders. Rates are good thru 5/27/13. PAP play Oak Trail free. Pull cart rental is $6. They have a "Tee Up To 18" option. Make a tee time at Oak Trail, & when you check in, and you can play on any of the 18 hole courses for $40 including golf cart if there's room My husband & I did this twice this past week. You can't beat that. Also other discount rates listed.
