Play all you wanted, 7 days a week, & as many times a day as you want & yes they were as nice or better than any Championship course here. Before we moved to TV my wife & I JOINED a deal where each one of us paid $200. to join 4 golf course & got to play Mon. thru Fri. Sat. & Sun. was $75. more. I understand why the people here are so defensive about the Championship courses here. You're not going to say anything bad about them after you joined, you're not going to bad mouth them. But to pay a fee after you paid for a membership isn't a deal. You pay a membership to play, not to pay again to play. You can say what you want about a membership, you're still adding to that membership, so in reality you're paying membership plus to play so it's adding cost to your golf fee & so it's not as cheap as you say it is. This is nothing to argue about, just have fun playing golf in TV.
Not arguing with you. My husband likes Palmer, Havana, Mallory , Cane and the 3 courses south of 466. He is happy golfing in TV. His club up North did not charge green fees but the dues and the food minimum were significantly more than 800 ayear.
