I love playing on campus. I still get a kick out of driving in my own cart, bringing my own beer, not having to lift my clubs in and out of the car, and not having to drive to and from an off campus course.
I realize that part of this is my not-yet-retired status and not wanting to spend my weekend time driving to play golf. That being said, I think that will change in the future. The off campus values are good and some of the TV courses have deteriorated.
Unfortunately, I think there will always be a strong market for the TV courses as long as the playing conditions are acceptable. I think as we age that convenience will win out over quality of the fairways. JMO.
