Golf nuts: Care to venture a guess how much a weekday greens fee is at Whistling Straights?

[MarathonMike]

I had lunch at Whistling Straights Golf Club with two of my Brother-In-Laws last week. What a gorgeous course! Just for grins we checked how much it would be to play on a Wednesday afternoon. It was $630 bucks! And you are required to walk and hire one of their caddies and a typical tip is expected to be about $100. I went with the Cobb salad.

If I smelled any weed on a course like that, I would expect it to be prime golden hash.

Damn.

I love golf, but would never pay that much to do it.

After seeing the course I would love to play it, but I'd have to deal with my wifes' stink eye.

I am sure it is beautiful but is the experience really all that much better than any other round of golf?

I guess it would be a thing to do just to say I had done it. Not unlike Pebble Beach

I think it would be and I may play it with my son next year. He has gotten quite good and has broken 80 a few times. But given how hard that course is and how much the wind blows we would have to be on our A game for sure!

Me and my BIL each paid $500, plus Caddie tip, for an absolute gorgeous Round at Pebble Beach.

Worth every penny.

I am not breaking 80, just happy these days to be in the high 80s.

A couple years ago I did a "one man scramble" at a local course. Basically you got the option to redo every shot but had to take the second one no matter what. It did not really help me all that much as most of my shots were of the "I could do a lot worse than that" variety!

Nice! That's another "bucket list" course.
