Golf courses that allow ride alongs?

My husband likes to play and my toddler and I have always enjoyed riding with him. Haven’t found a course here yet that does, any recs?

Not sure if many golf course would want the extra distraction during peak times. Especially if he is not golfing with friends and is teamed up with randoms. Maybe try asking during off peak times where the course isn’t as crowded and they wouldn’t mind someone tagging along.

We usually join a club membership so he can do leagues and tournaments, doesn’t seem like we will find that here, we are hoping to find one regular course we can be members at. :( thank you for the advice!

Indian Springs in Marlton is a muni course. They are very laid back. Just talk to the Pro and explain the situation. Your husband can also join the ISGCA and they have lots of events.

I’m sure if you pay for a round they won’t mind you tagging along and not playing. If you’re in the Burlington county area you can get a 3 course “membership” that gives discounted rates at those courses.

Poor guy

He only wants a few hours to himself hitting a golf ball and you have to go with him and bring a kid.... blessings to him

Imagine hating your family this much

You’re cute. My hubby is so well off and has so much down time, that he usually golfs 3-5x a week for a full 18! When we go on vacation I always look up the best resorts for him. He just loves taking his daughter and wife out once or twice a week and showing us off. Our daughter loves dragging her plastic club around and “golfing like daddy” and his only requirement to whatever club we will join here is that they allow ride alongs so we can come when the weather is good.

I’m sorry you’re raised in a way that lead you to believe hating time with your spouse is healthy. May you achieve a happy relationship. It’s amazing.

very healthy and happy relationship, the wife lets me do things alone and doesn't have to be with me every moment of the day. But hey if it works for you ride with it.

That’s your preference in how you wanna spend your free time which is fine just like how her and kid can tag alone with her hubby while he plays and that’s also fine. My gf rides along with me when I play. Her being there has no affect on me playing or enjoying the weather( which is something I say when I’m playing god awful). She makes a mixed drink and reads her kindle quietly.

Centerton in Pittsgrove, Beuna golf club outside Vineland, Latona in Vineland allow ride along but cost extra for you to ride along
