Steve,
I agree. Given that all the other good courses in the area are private and cost roughly double what Pound Ridge does per round, the problem appears to be with the layout rather than the cost...As I stated in the previous Pound Ridge thread, when I lived in NYC and was just taking up the game we would have gladly paid the price for a quality high-end daily fee course within an hour's drive...Sure it seems expensive from the cheap seats, but you have to compare it to the surrounding privates that are $75,000+ down and $1000+/month dues....This is right by Greenwich, CT, home of the $3,000,000 teardown....
