That's really inexpensive, especially for a good quality track. The
private club here in town has a $3000 non-refundable initiation and
$300/month dues, plus a food/beverage assessment of $800 or $1000. The
course is nowhere near the best around, but it is kept in very good
condition. I briefly considered it, but it's just too much money for what
it is. I would be thrilled to have your situation, but such things don't
exist here in Central Florida. I guess there are advantages to having a
shorter golf season and being in a non-touristy area.
