Is Whistling Straights worth the $$$?

BagBoy
yes.
 
The answer to this question is always YES. Pay whatever you have to pay and get a caddie. It's real and spectacular.
 
Why on earth is the caddy tip $500??

I edited the first post due to the confusion.

the total for the round and caddy would have been about $500. Not $500 for just the caddy.

it was a few months ago in Early June and because it was between Memorial Day and Labor Day you need to stay on property for 3 days to get to play so I wasn’t able.

I wish I could have

Couple thoughts: First do they still require a night stay at the American Club where it use to be $300/night?
I was given a gift certificate for a portion and went as a trip with 3 other guys and had a memorable time; eating lunch in the neat clubhouse and watched the herd of sheep running the course, the caddies taking are clubs and put them in their light bags for the substantial terrain.
Bad news, this was my highest ever score!
Do it and then watch the Ryder Cup players this fall wrestle with the course.
If not consider playing their great River Course at Black Wolf.
 
The wrong question is being asked;

Is the round worth it? Probably not. You’ll likely have gusting wind, lose a ton of balls in the unforgiving rough and score badly.

Is the experience worth it? For a storied course, Absolutely…….

I had the same thought about Kiawah next month but then realized I may never get the chance to. I used to live close to Pasa Tiempo and it was $270 and never played, now that I have moved I regret it.
 
To add to my post and following the Ryder Cup, the memories are worth it. I’m now retired and too cheap to do this again. It was fun seeing the course again and reliving it.
I would recommend doing it with friends if at all possible.

Looking at it for this summer, twilight rate, $455 green fee, $85 caddie fee. Regular round $735 green fee includes the caddie fee

Wow! In 2021 I did their ultimate stay and play package for $1600. That included a round at the Straits. I absolutely loved it. It may be my favorite round ever. But you are looking at close to a grand all in after tip. Not sure I could swing that for any round anywhere.

Not bad if you get the full18 in before dark. A great afternoon leading into a drink and a meal with the group! Sounds like a heck of a day!
