July 4 outing....but not quite

SWMBO has other plans for the 4th, so I will get in a round on July 3 at Woods Valley to take advantage of their Senior Monday specials ($29) or perhaps the early Twilight (noon) for only $20.  I've played it a few times. Not bad, interesting, but hot and little shade. A couple of blind green, downhill, terraced  tee holes that require pin point accuracy. Don't venture into the hazard areas unless you happen to like rattle snakes.  Many of the North County San Diego courses have some good deals these days.

North County inland courses are probably worried about weather in the 90's affecting turnout. I've also noticed golf isn't so much a big holiday deal. Maybe because so many are retired anyway?

Probably. Temps have also been triple digits a few days. I played Pala Mesa a short while back, and guy there only charged me $25 including a bucket of balls. I guess he deferred to me being a military vet as he was in the Marine Corps.

There are also places around that seem like a complete total rip off. I can't imagine where it is worth it to pay $100 + for a round but I know people do.

Try North of $500 in Japan and some places in Europe! or for that matter Pebble Beach. Torrey Pines can cost a bit if you are not a San Diego Resident. They used to have a San Diego County rate, but I believe that is gone now.  Luckily, I get comp'd at Las Vegas Country Club, er I should say that SWMBO does, but they don't check I.D.'s So I can go in her place.
