There are plenty of courses outside this venue that are reasonable, so I guess that's where I'll continue to find a game, because as a resident here I just can't see paying snowbird rates.
Based on the posts, one persons "obscene" is another persons bargain. We all have our tolerances and for the OP the outside courses will offer relief....even though combining taxes, shopping and eating at local stores was an interesting approach to make the case.....they aren't related.
