You missed the most expensive - Canyata in Marshal, Illinois at $750 per person....not including a caddie.

Canyata's private, isn't it? We limited this piece to just public/resort golf, but I'm guessing Canyata would be up there overall. Tara Iti offers non-members the opportunity to play the course once, and my understanding is the cost is comparable to the Canyata guest fee.

Technically it’s private but it’s locally owned and they encourage public play. I guess they figure if you’ll pay the $750, you’re welcome to play it!

Thanks for the tip! Just spent some time learning a bit more about Canyata thanks to you.

My first round of golf was at Pebble Beach, and I have played many places since, then, I love the game!

Why would you ever pay this much to golf. I can go to the local park and hit a ball wherever I want!!!!!

Of course it's overpriced. I have been to Pebble, Whistling Straits, Torrey Pines, Bandon, Kingsley, etc..and then i have played a ton of muni courses. Pebble has 6 great holes and 12 average. Given a choice i would play a good muni with 3 good friends. Cost doesn't make a course great, enjoy the game with friends and save some money.

In some places where I live we have some beautiful courses, Mareeba golf course is only $14 to play golf and an extra $25 for a buggy. That's ridiculous to charge $100+ for a game of golf

I pay 5 dollars to play golf at my local golf course. That's ridiculous.

I realize this is old thread. However, it's worth noting that the Stadium Course was immediately closed after The Players (2016) for a full blown 6 month overhaul. Right now, it's June 12th and I can see soil piled two stories high on 13. There is speculation about layout and greens fees. It will be interesting to see where it all ends up.

I have played 6 of the courses listed. I agree with all comments. Too pricey to play multiple times a year---or even 2 of them. I have spread it out over the past 10 years, bucket list with Torrey Pines North & South included. After watching all of the great tournaments on tv for so long it was time for me to enjoy while I can. Outside of those, I find the municipal courses like Costa Mesa, where you can play for well under $50 on a weekend.
