SoCal's Crazy Golf Pricing

Anyone who’s been to SoCal recently realizes that many of the golf courses think everyone is a movie star. Or at least on a movie star’s generous payroll.

Some of these courses are getting as overpaid as Latrell Sprewell. Which is what makes a course like Barona Creek, in the shadow of San Diego, such a deal. This isn’t the best course you will ever play. It’s not worthy of some of the crazy pub it’s been getting as a Top 20 Resort Course. But it is a really good course at great SoCal price ($100 tops green fee, $50 after noon on weekdays). Besides if it’s good enough for Mark McGwire – who last paid for golf when he was Mark nobody – it’s probably good enough for you. Big Mac comes here even though he could play for free on the $3o0 wallet cleaners.

Courses will keep raising prices until people stop paying. As long as I have a full golf course I would keep my price as high as possible. It's a free market society. The only thing that determines pirice is what the market will bear. The only way to get prices down is for people to stop playing expensive golf courses and frequent the ones with the more modest pricing
