How it works

Break-even rounds = pass price ÷ savings per round, rounded up. Savings per round is your price without the pass minus your price with it (use 0 for unlimited green fees). For points or percentage-off programs, enter the percent instead. Bonus rounds and perks are not valued; add them mentally if you will use them.

Example: a $60 card that cuts a round from $60 to $46 saves $14 a round. $60 ÷ $14 ≈ 4.3, so you break even on round 5. Details and limits are on the methodology page.
