I would think it all depends on the course and how many times you have played it and your prospects for future play on said course. For example, if someone told me I could CPC I would probably drop everything and cost would be rather immaterial. If it were Pebble - I would pass as I've already played it twice. If it were Medinah - I'd probably pass even though I haven't played it. Any of the courses on LI we all dream about - I'd leave for those. Muirfield Village - a short drive from home - no thanks I've played it twice. But Scioto, Golf Club, Canterbury, Sand Ridge and Kirtland - I wouldn't even think twice about driving there. Valhalla I just played and can probably get on any time I want so it would depend on who's going with me.
