It's not just Florida, either. We love to complain about out of staters here too.
Fort Myers area courses
Wanting to turn Montana into whatever state they came from is generally the complaint I hear, and over crowding nature areas and such.
It’s one of the better public courses near Fort Myers. I just played it on Super Bowl Sunday and it was $250. Stoneybrook is another option but IMO it’s overpriced(like so many others during peak season) at $205.
Yeah, unfortunately the cold here isn't keeping away the reverse snowbirds and we're heading in that direction.I’m so glad Minnesota normally has brutal winters, the exception being this year. If winters were shorter in MN the state would have 15 million residents and it would be ruined.I know after living in CA for 20 years.
No me, you got the Touring Purple guys mixed up. Gets confusing with a bunch of us running around here with the same member pics.
Yep. I’ll be down here until mid-May and look forward to all the courses dropping their prices 60% in early April. I played TPC Treviso Bay last May after they opened to the public for the summer and it was under $100.
Palmetto Pine back nine was totally redone last summer, the front nine will be done this summer It is in great shape especially now as they are getting ready for the Men's Invitational in Early March. It is Semi-Private at this time. the members mostly play between 8:30 to 10 AM Great track
I come down quite often to the Bonita springs area. Fortunately I get to play on my dad's golf course whenever I want. It seems that golf green fees have gone through the roof around here. One course you should look into is eagle ridge. That seem to be about the best bang for the buck that I have found.
Stoneybrook is how much???
$205 each for our round on Monday. We are in peak season. It will be about $50 in May and still overpriced.
I can remember complaining about paying $70 to play Stony Brook!$205 each for our round on Monday. We are in peak season. It will be about $50 in May and still overpriced.

Prices are all over the place down here. 60 some bucks to 200 some bucks.
This time of year is the worst for trying to find decent rates, however, in 2 months, they all drop prices which is nice.
My parents lived in Verandah down there. The two courses were always in good condition. I don't know if they still allow public play via GolfNow, but based on what my dad has said membership costs now, it wouldn't surprise me if they wanted to keep us riff raff out.
I’m always comparing the value and conditions here in FL to the courses I play in Minnesota for less money. Even the higher end courses down here such as Old Corkscrew don’t have greens or fairways in nearly as good of condition as what I play during the summers in MN. Twice the price for less interesting courses with worse turf conditions, slower greens, and slower play makes it harder for me to want to play much golf from November through mid AprI.

That's kind of what I was thinking. I mean, it's been close to ten years since I've played it but still....$205 each for our round on Monday. We are in peak season. It will be about $50 in May and still overpriced.
Verandah can be had via the SWFL PGA pass, although there are date restrictions
