For 10 plus years, I play championship in and out of TV. Usually 2 foursomes twice a month. Out of eight players 3 are local teaching pros in their 40s, 2 are parents of golf pros currently on tour, all male. Two females both played college and women’s pro tour, as they say many years ago. I knew 3 of the players who invited me when I was a snowbird, eventually moved to a full time spot.

All play USGA rules, except for the the sand trap with 40 footprints.

Last week two of us hit into the sand and instead of human prints, a large panther or two decided to use the facility. We decided to play as is because nature caused the chaos not human.

So yes there are some who play on property that will give you the high you are looking for. But fair warning, you may or may not be invited to join their established groups.

Once you are here full time, you can start a golf group, requiring any and all rules you choose. Then you could have competition play to see who fits your comfort level to play with.
