Yes to the suggestion of joining GolfWRX forum - they have the greatest golf classified section ever.
I play, but I'm in a very, uuhhh, rural area. My course membership....for the year....was $278. Yes, you read that right. For the year. It's a little 9 hole course, it's not even semi private, but with the amount of golf I play (which actually has increased now that my daughter loves to come with me - she's 2...she just gets in the way, but it's fun!), it's quite a bit cheaper than paying each time I go out.
I typical play every Wednesday, which is Men's Night, and probably spend $15-$20 on booze. $12 a six pack, plus tip, or drinks if that's what is sounding good. My parents own a cart and a cart shed on the course, and don't play anymore, so I get that for free as well. Clubs are the biggest expense, and I've really reigned myself in on that. My set is out 5 years old, Taylormade R9 irons and driver, my 56 degree and 60 degree are both Cleveland's, and then I upgraded putters about 2 years ago.
