And I'd beg to differ about the weather being basically the same as Pebble.... maybe some days....

The only pic I have on hand from our survival trip is this one... the attire alone should say all that needs to be said...

World Woods Pine Barrens is a Doak 8. I doubt many blue collars would pay to play Pinehurst2, a 10, or Pebble Beach and Teeth of the Dog at Casa de Campo, both 9s.

Steve:  great call on World Woods!  I wonder how many people know that during this time of year Pine Barrens can be played for 40 bucks, and $70 for both PB and Rolling Oaks?

World Woods is certainly a quality course and would qualify a times of the year where its under $100. I think in the winter it goes up to $130 or something like that, we still played both for $170 I think in a February which wasn't bad all things considered.

I do like Paa-Ko Ridge and Black Mesa better than either course at World Woods personally, but all of them are worthwhile.
