It absolutely was. I consider myself pretty lucky.
Then again, spend enough time on a forum like Golfwrx and hear guys tell stories about playing Pebble, Spyglass, Pinehurst, Whistling Straights, Erin Hills, Bethpage - like it's just a run-of-the-mill round - and it can bum you out.
I think my wife and I do really well for ourselves - but it makes me wonder what people do for a living to be able to afford spending a week at places like those.
We wanted to go to Pebble for our Honeymoon until I did the research and figured it would set us back nearly $10k for 5 nights and 4 rounds of golf each.
Then thought about Whistling Straights, and found we could do a week there for the bargain price of $8k.
That's what I love about a place like Deere Run - it's a tour track, and the most you'll pay is $95.
