I canceled a lot last year due to rain. I've grown fond of playing none holes of golf and taking a break and going out again. It's great that 9 hole cost 1/2 of 18. That's not the case in most places.
With so many execs to choose from, I don't get bored with a bunch of par 3 's and 4's..

Played only championship my whole life because they didn't have exec's in Maine. Play them here, but only occasionally in winter because of the $$$. Playing nine is easier for me in the winter on the Championships and in summer you can play after 4 or 5pm for $6 or $7 all the wholes you can get in after sunset.
If you aren't a very good golfer you may find the championships a bit off putting as you are required to play expediently and if you don't you can be asked to skip holes...they do keep track of how long you are playing and how many minutes you're behind where they figure you ought to be...that said...if you are a decent golfer just ignore this paragraph... :-)

Thanks for the input. With the wife being newly retired, we are watching the pennies and where they go so we may give it a year before we consider a priority membership. I carry a single digit handicap so keeping up is no problem.
