Most of the 'championship' courses are definitely overpriced, for what you get. The reason they can get away with it, is because of the convenience of driving your cart (saving the courses even more money) to the course and basically having a mostly captive audience who don't want to mess with the hassle of going somewhere else in their vehicles. Never underestimate the pricing power of 'convenience' and obviously, TV has found that point. A lot of people are willing to pay a high price for conditions that are like the average muni course in most towns across the country - only at a significantly inflated cost.
