I have heard this comment many times. This is not Pebble beach or any other far away location. You simply cannot compare courses thousands of miles away that only have a 6 month season. This is The Villages in central Florida where golf is played 12 months yearly. The point is that of many local "outside" golf courses, why are six of the Village courses the most expensive of all the nearby local courses ?????. I have also heard the additional cost in green fees, is because the Villages courses are in so much better condition. If you believe this, then you don't play outside the Villages. Stonecrest and Spruce Creek are usually in superior condition as compared to the Villages courses.
