So, if you and spouse played twice a week every week, your total cost per round comes out to less than $0.75. If you're seasonal residents, it comes out to a little more than that. Not free, but darn close.

I guess I consider it free if I don't have to dig out cash or credit card whenever I play and I don't get a monthly bill from the club with mandatory food minimums and other charges.
You forgot about your monthly amenities fees. 45,000 homes equals more than 5 million dollars a month.
