Hey. this is reality. The company(s) operating the TV country clubs are trying to make a profit. They have a captive audience of thousands, many who don't really care about playing a few bucks more when they can easily drive their own cart from their garage to the first tee. Because there are quite a few decent courses relatively close to TV, they must offer lower prices to compete.

Don't be shocked or upset. Take advantage! Get a foursome together and play Mission Inn, Deer Island, Spruce Creek Links, Eagle Ridge, Stone Creek, Arlington, Sarabene, Harbor Hills, Baseline, Silver Springs Shores, Stonecrest, Continental, Juliette Falls, Spruce Creek Preserve, Royal Oaks, or Lake Diamond. Those are just some of the good courses, near enough and cheaper.
