I never play the Championship courses, but when my scratch-golfer brother-in-law came to town, I reserved a tee-time -- and my jaw hit the floor when I got the bill. I don't know how anybody plays them twice a week. He was shocked as well. He has three municipal courses back home he plays all the time for $30-40, and thought they were much nicer. We played the exec courses for the rest of his visit.
At $75, golf was too expensive for me to play regularly back home in Texas, too. But that was non-member rates, unlike here. Somehow they got by with member rates in the $50's
I guess, if the market will bear it, there's not much we can do but gripe. Like a lot of things here, the reality falls short of the promise. But the reality is still pretty good.
