9 holes divided by 1700 Yards = 188 Yards
27 holes divided by 7100 Yards = 262 Yards
Let's see: 262 Yards - 188 Yard - 74 Yards!
I'm in the ballpark with my numbers, why aren't are you?
Enjoy your lob wedge.... :1rotfl::1rotfl::1rotfl:

Open the entire year also means maintenance the entire year

No, that would be 7100 yards divided by 18 holes... 394 yds/hole...

You're nowhere near the ballpark...

Maths is hard!

My golf spy published an article regarding average cost to play golf on a state basis. 2021 Florida average was $55.00. Refer to the article if you want more details.

“The rates used include the lowest posted rates throughout 2021 and include cart fees when applicable.”

Which is the reason I deleted my response----I don't believe in piling on, no matter how much the posts deserves it.

My wife and I play executive courses 3-5 times a week and find them as challenging as we want as you can pick courses with different difficulty rating. And if I want to feel like I'm on a championship course - I can move back to the black tees. I'm not a great golfer so exec's are fine for me. If we want to play big courses, there are "deals" in nearby off-campus golf courses.
Playing the "black" tees on an exec makes you feel like you're on a champ course???? OK, whatever.

[QUOTE=Mortal1;2069013]Exec courses are not "free"...the fee is included with the amenity fee.

The amenity fee is for all the services that you pay for the right to live in the villages. Unless they give you back the amenity fee if you play on a championship course, than I don't understand your point.

About 20 years ago I played both TPC's for $82. It was in August (very hot, but dry). I walked the 1st nine of The Desert Course and then picked up the included cart for the back nine since I had already developed blisters.

Obviously rode The Stadium Course, but it certainly was not fun with those blisters!

Played Troon North a couple of days later for well under $100, but, it was a long time ago, and August.
