Well, I live about 900 miles from my spiritual home course in Gothenburg, NE. It is only about a 13-14 hour commute. I already bought a lot out behind #2 green - 3 tee. I keep telling the wife that what I'd save on club membership (about $500 a year) would be worth it to move out there and build a house. Literally, what it would cost to join a prestigious east or west coast club would be about what the house would cost to build, and the quarterly or monthly minumum would be less than the year membership at WH.
Otherwise, I settle for our local Brown County Golf Course which is clear on the other side of town, about 10 minutes drive.
It is $1100 yearly unlimitted play member pass or $26 a round.
