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.

The prices are crazy. The closet thing I've done is go to Phoenix to visit my dad and play golf. Thing is he's cheap when it comes to greens fees. He has his house and his cart in the garage and he plays his neighborhood course. There's so many courses I'd love to play out there but he don't want to pay that much. Ocotillo is the best course he'll go play and it's decent but I want to play the TPC and stuff like that. He won't do it.
