However, the courses here are not terrible,
But the trade off is the convenience of 14 courses just a cart ride away. I live on one and have 6 more within 18 minutes by cart. Four more are within 26 minutes. And while there are many that whine about the cost of greens fees, they really are pretty reasonable, and tens of thousands cheaper than a private club. The initiation bond at Seminole is now up to $250,000!
I've also aged out of getting a thrill from extremely difficult courses.

I'll agree with you, 100%.
The courses here, are not awful ... generally.
I've played 6 courses, in the Top 25 in the world. At his age, the thrill is gone. I'm contemplating heading to Cabot Cliffs this summer, as they now have 2 courses in the Top 50, but on a day to day basis, TV is fine.
NOTHING can beat the convenience of TV golf. I tell everyone up North who asks.
I can play 18 different, 18 hole layouts, all located within a 12 minutes golf cart drive. 5 hours, door to door, for 18 golf courses? Who else has that?
