But this is exactly why I just added priority membership in late Decemeber. It will more than pay for itself just between now and June, much less the additional continued (albeit lower) savings from June through December.

Adding up proximity/convenience, cost and quality of courses. It IS a bargain in my book. Before moving here in September, the three nice public courses near me in PA were all over $100 and were a minumum of 25 minute drive. The only reasonbly close course open to the public in the $50-ish range was in horrible shape.

It's all relative and your mileage may vary, but I could not be happier with the variety and cost of the courses I have available to me here. I'm sure I will branch out to other Florida courses eventually, but I expect I'll remain happy about TV golf for a long time.
