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.
