Very well stated and analyzed.
If you golf by coupon or special rates, your reference point is discounted rates, and that is an unfortunate reference point for comparison. Golfing by coupon is severely limiting, and just a way for a high priced course to pull in the non regular customer to contribute to the annual sales on a course which is off demand hours. Not a regular business pricing.
I get it that price to value is dependent upon each individuals' skill and income as well. CoachK and I went to Scotland. There was no way i was paying $400 per person per round to play on the St Andrews old course. We did play on one of the younger, cheaper, regularly priced courses, which was great at like $100+ per person. (i got one par!) We also played on a British open qualifier course, which Colin Montgomery qualified for open the week prior. We picked it because it had a castle. . not because of the cost or quality we had no idea. . coldest wettest prettiest worst day of golfing as I couldn't finish due to the cold and wet and few balls remaining. (typical great scottish golfing day sucked for the fair weather golfers here)
So its kind of a waste of time arguing about people's opinions and feelings on here when the variables are so many and so intangible, and there will be no answer, just people spouting opinions with no common basis
