The Links of North Dakota in Williston. Yes $55, but that includes all day access to the range. Also Wild Horse in Gothenburg NE. OK again I cheat $51.50 (includes tax)
Not one mention of Temecula Ca and the value courses here. Hey Matt Ginella you need to visit Temecula the next time you are near the Goat Hill.
Hmm... surprised Battlement Mesa at Parachute CO isn't on the list. It is an outstanding course. Once rated in the top 50 women's courses in the USA. Unless the $53 on weekends bumps it out.
That you list Stoney Point at 50 attests to the quality of the other 49. Arrowhead Point, Cobblestone, and Cider Ridge age confirmed first rate. How about The Frog, outside of Atlanta?
I looked at the list to see if there were any courses in NJ to make the cut. I am not surprised that there are not any on the list. I've only been in NJ for about a year, but find the courses to be very expensive compared to the layout and conditions they are in. Most of the ones that I have played are a joke (but I have to admit the I can only compare them to the Alabama Trail courses), and it makes me miss the coursed in GA and AL.
No west coast courses. Bogus list.
Good list, definitely agree with Squaw Valley in Glen Rose, one of the best kept secrets of Central Texas. Too bad Pinion Hills in Farmington NM is no longer under $50, for many years it was under $40. Thanks for putting the list together, these are the types of courses that golfing road warriors need to know about!!
I'll have to get to Squaw Valley sometime soon and maybe pair it on a road trip with Pine Dunes, which can be played at times for about $59. I absolutely adore Delaware Springs, about an hour northwest of Austin.
