It's all about supply and demand. The courses near TV are cheaper because they're not as good, not as well maintained, or because not enough people want to play them. Do you think you could find very many public courses in south Florida this time of year for only $56? Not likely.
Then, what do the golf courses up north charge during their shorter season? The range in suburban Chicago for private daily fee courses was from about $100 to well into three digits. Heck, they're building a "name" course near our home in southwest Michigan that's going to charge charge $350 a day. That'll make the third course within a 25 mile radius that charges more than $300 a day.
It seems to me that high season golf in Florida for $56 is a bargain. Come back in July and you can play here for $20.
