Easy to find $35 green fees, including cart, up north in more rural areas during weekdays, but not on weekends or in urban areas. We rarely pay more than $35 to play beautiful golf courses mid-week with the senior citizen discount, while the younger folks are working (you just have to get out in time to make the turn before the late afternoon leagues take over the courses). Also, being retired and having a flexible schedule, same day open t times during weekdays are often there for the taking through “Golf Now” for $20 or less. I easily have spent more on green fees in the Villages since early January than I will spend during the entire 6 month prime golf season up north. That being said, I will spend a small fortune on gas and spend lots of time up north having to drive my truck to the different golf courses.
