Golf and cold beer go together. At Hermitage, we've made it even better with our Pay What You Play promotion. Here's how it works and how to take full advantage.
The Deal
After your round, head to Hickory Sticks Grill and order an entree. With your meal purchase, you can get a beer for the price of your score. Shot an 85? That beer costs $0.85. Broke par with a 72? Your beer is $0.72.
It's that simple. Play well, drink cheap.
When Does It Apply?
The Pay What You Play deal is available after any round at Hermitage—President's Reserve or General's Retreat. You just need to order an entree at the Grill to qualify. Just good golf rewarded with affordable drinks.
Does Your Handicap Matter?
Nope. Whether you're a scratch golfer or you're playing off a 25, your score is your score. If you shot 95, you're paying $0.95. If you broke 80, you're drinking for under a buck. The deal is the same for everyone, and it's based on your actual scorecard.
Strategy: Play Smart, Drink Cheap
Here's where it gets fun. Suddenly that risky shot over water on 18 has consequences beyond your scorecard. Do you go for the green in two and risk a big number, or do you lay up and protect your score (and your beer price)?
The Pay What You Play deal adds a new layer of strategy to your round. Every stroke matters—not just for bragging rights, but for your wallet at the bar.
Can You Use It for Multiple Beers?
One beer per round at the Pay What You Play price. After that, it's regular pricing. But honestly, if you're shooting low enough to get beer for under a dollar, you've earned the right to celebrate with a second round at full price.
Best Way to Take Advantage
Play early, shoot low, and get to the Grill before you cool down. Order a solid meal—our burgers and wings are excellent—and enjoy a cold beer while you relive the round with your crew. The lower your score, the cheaper your drink. It's motivation to play better and a reward when you do.
The Unspoken Challenge
There's an unspoken competition that develops around this deal. Who shot the lowest score? Who's drinking the cheapest? It adds a fun element to your group outing, especially when someone barely breaks 100 and someone else comes in under 80. The trash talk writes itself.
Bonus: You Might End Up in a TikTok
If you're lucky, you might run into Chris Pierce—our Director of Golf and the viral "Golf shop, this is Chris" guy—while you're celebrating your cheap beer. Chris has made Hermitage one of the most-followed golf courses on social media. Stop by the pro shop, say hi, and you might just become part of golf TikTok history.
Final Word
The Pay What You Play deal is one of those perks that makes Hermitage different. It rewards good golf, keeps the post-round experience fun, and gives you another reason to come back and try to beat your score.
Next time you play Hermitage, bring your A-game and cash in at the Grill. Your scorecard determines the price. Make it count.
