Golf is more reasonable in price than any place I have ever lived. My husband plays 18 and I play 9. If you are in a group that regularly plays the executive courses and people in your group play a lot or fail to show, it makes it harder for the whole group to get the time and place that you want.


BUT if you put in for the day not a particular time... and anyplace, you have a far greater chance of getting tee times.


I think this is a very fair way to give everyone a chance to play that wants to play.


I think that we need to realize that those vast spaces of land that make up a golf course have to be maintained when there are a lot of players or fewer. People are in business to make money, not to give things away. There are taxes to be paid and expensive maintenance to be performed year around and people on the payroll to do these things. I can't see why fifty dollars is gouging. Twenty one is very nice when it happens. So...it evens out.
