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.
Once again, WHERE "Up North"? It's a pretty big area...

I know what prices are in MY area "Up North"... Pretty much double your $35 fee when you add in the cart...
