I know of no munis around here that are less than $50.
 
That is cheap compared to Japan.

But in the new world order, only the rich will have time to engage in an activity such as golf. 99% of the people will be working 80 hours a week just to earn enough to exist, and that certianly won't include health care, also a privledge of the rich.
 
I have a large selection of courses where 18 holes is <$30, sucks to be you.

I can even golf on the same course as a PGA tour event for a whole $35 for 18 holes.

Haha 🙂
 
I called the one here, its $900!!! I mostly go to public ones, and was thinking about joining this one since last year, but doesnt look like its gonna happen.
 
You should come to SE Michigan. There are plenty of courses where you can pay <$50 to play 18 holes, with cart. I prefer to walk, so it usually costs me ~$30.

They charge what people are willing to pay.

and its not cheap to make a golf course

a rule of thumb is for every 1 mill invested in a golf course, the green fees increase by $10
so for $175 green fees, the golf course is worth about 17.5 million

I think he meant the membership fees... in which case that's really not high.
