So you play one nine hole layout all year, if you like nine hole layouts and you like to walk, there are 36 nine hole layouts here and it's free if you walk, or $143 trail fee a year if you ride. Quite a few of those layouts are par 29, so you can use your driver on a couple of holes. If I had to play just one nine hole layout all year, I think I would get bored.

From Tamarind Grove in my cart within 25 minutes I can play Glenview, Palmer, Cane, Mallory, Havana, Evans Prairie, Bonifay and Belle Glade. That's eight 27 hole courses and I even get bored here sometimes. This thread has turned mostly into a discussion about the cost of green fees. Paying $400 a year to walk one nine hole par 35 layout in an area that will be under snow in another month, doesn't really prove any point either way.
