Not if people temper their expectations.

If you're willing to reserve as a single or as a couple, getting on a course is really not that difficult. My wife and I have played four times in the past eight or so days. El Diablo twice, Briarwood, and Saddlebrook. Three reservations made on "the system" two days in advance, and one call-in the day of. The point being that golf is the same game whether you play as "a group of twelve" or with a couple of snowbirds. And to be honest playing with the "birds" is far more attractive to my wife and I as we get to meet new people. Playing with the same stodgy old group every time doesn't seem all that appealing.
