During the summer (June, July, August and half of September) we play various semi-private courses and public courses in Illinois. $35 - $45 a round including cart. Most have a senior rate around $30 on certain week days. Nine holes generally half price. No problem for my foursome getting tee times. Yep, cheap golf for us old guys who don’t play as much golf as we did in the past. We gave up the Private Country Club fifteen years ago. Our son belongs to “the Club” (7,200 pristine yards) and I play with him a time or two during the summer). Yep, senior tees. When we return to TV, the FL weather is a bit cooler and golf is still reasonable.
That said, you can throw numbers around (such as 60+thousand snowbirds?) and championship course cost but IMHO winter golf in TV is a bargain. There are also options just outside the so called bubble. We can play the executive courses two or three times a week, without problems, and thus the question mark regarding number of snowbirds. It’s a wonderful life! See it every year with the family. Fore!
