The cost seems to be about the same as the "county" courses I use to play on in NJ ($35 to $65 depending on the course), with a county membership, and that was three years ago. I guess it's all relative to what your used to paying to play a round of golf. I look at it as a per hour charge, $8.50 an hour .. for sport you enjoy. Anyone bowl .. it's about the same cost per hour. Of course there are free sports as well that maybe you should try, pool, table shuffleboard, bocci, etc. or try "golf now" .. for $35 to $45 outside the villages. The warning is that all the course I've played outside the villages .. leave something to be desired. Try paying for tickets to see a football game sometime .. the last time I went it was over $200 a ticket, if you could get one .. for 3 hrs .. now that's a lot when TV is free.
