And I have not even factored in the lower fees for golf courses off campus.
I had priority for 6 years roughly that adds up to $4800. Now divide that by the average fees on outside courses and that is a lot of golf
But I know and understand its a personal thing

Sorry, but I have to disagree. The point system for number of golfers in a foursome with PM only applies to advance reservation, nothing to do with fee discount. You save $5/round in the summer, $10 in the fall, and $ 15 in the winter, or about $9.60/ round weighted year round. The PM fee for all 12 courses and 2 people is $925/yr I have 138 rounds in so far, or about 160/year for $1536 savings. When my wife gets heathy again she'll add another 60 rounds or so, another $576. That's $2112 for my $925, not to mention $4 for any exec rounds.
The break even point is 96 rounds/ year or a couple playing just under once a week--and it is less if you join fewer clubs.
