Yes, the Pilgrim's Oak rate included a cart. All the courses I played in NE Maryland and SE Pennsylvania, about 7 courses included a cart.
As far as The Villages, I have no beef with the greenfees, as GoPacers commented, we can play most of the courses after 1pm for $34 during 8 months of the year. This time last year we were already paying top dollar. I know some complained when they raised the summer afternoon rate from $24 to $34 but they extended it 3 months from Oct 1st to Dec 31st. That's about what I paid up north as a senior on weekdays.
So for four months we have to rough it out. Something we did in the past was play just nine holes. It's better than playing an executive, you're pulling out your driver 7 times vs 1 or 2 times or maybe not at all, and you're playing for 2+ hours instead of 90 minutes. So try a nine hole round for half of $64, the only negative is you have to start at 1pm or later.
While many of you were impressed with Pilgrim's Oak Golf Course, five miles down the road toward Lancaster, PA is Tanglewood. It's also public and very cheap. I only played it twice since I had to pass by Pilgrim's Oak to get there and it was a 37 mile trip. If I lived in the local area I would play Tanglewood more often. Here'a look at that course.
