...when the 1st tee box is flat.
I'm with you. If it costs more than $25 for me to play I feel like I'm wasting money. If I ever improve I'll be more willing to spend some dough on nicer courses, but for now it just seems like putting premium in a Pinto.
Some good Whisper Rock articles:
Some of the info is older (e.g. it's now $130,000.00 to join), but good stuff regardless!

So with a 4 HC, what do you normally shoot there? 90?
Surprised it's at $130k, I really thought it would be at least double that figure.
And I think the dues are still holding at $1K/month, due in a lump sum at the beginning of the year.
I know I'm at a fancy place when I'm referred to as "Sir" as opposed to "Buddy".
For that quality course that is a steal.
If I was still living in AZ and had the cash, I'd be there in a heartbeat!
The practice areas are awesome and you'll generally see tour players there practicing. Both courses are top notch and everyone - staff, caddies, members - are just really cool guys. The last time I was there, Bob Parsons (GoDaddy.com) made a hole-in-one and bought everyone a drink. Then he starts pondering "hmm, I wonder how much it would be to eat everyone's liquor bills for the month of April?"
I guess when you're worth 1.3-Billion, you can ponder about such things... lol
But the best part is that no matter how famous, rich or accomplished, they are all just guys who love the game of Golf.
$1.3B can cover alot of bar tabs
My brother is a member, but I've played both courses at least 15 times. 76 on the Lower Course has been my best, but I'd be a 7 or 8 there for sure. It's just too hard to avoid disaster there and the greens are FAST and undulating.
The fairways are actually pretty generous. It's the green complexes that provide the most challenge.
If I had it, I'd sure find out!
By contrast, I belong to The Golf Preserve at Atascocita in Humble, TX. I payed $300 before they opened for the deal of a lifetime: $175/month with free carts and range balls for life!
The golf.com article made it sound like it was the golf version of hell. At least for that Battle of Attrition competition it was discussing.
It is! They play the back tees, tuck the pins, and get the greens rolling at 14 on the stimp. I think Tim Herron won it the first year with an 81! They say when Kevin Streelman won it (I don't know what he shot - he might have been under par), that it was one of the greatest rounds ever played.
