Why not look into men's day at the executive courses, may be more serious golfers who play then. Have you tried the level one courses? Or perhaps you need to play championship courses to find players who play up to your standards.
As I said, I really don't mind playing with anyone. It's just that I would like to play with some better players occasionally. I've played with DonH57 and he's sort of a beginner and I enjoyed playing with him. I also would like to hit some different clubs on some of these course which means playing from the back tees.

I really have no problem with beginners. I just don't want a steady diet of them. I also don't want to make things complicated by playing from a different set of tees then everyone else. Hitting pitching wedge and gap wedge on every hole gets a bit boring.
