Ok so here it is. The nicest course in my area is offering a killer deal (Piper Glen). $999 for a 2 year pass/membership which includes unlimited golf, unlimited range, and an indoor putting facility. Here are the downfalls: the pass is walking only and this course is a bear to walk, most of my golf buddies play the munys, and if I get a membership here it would eat the rest of my golf budget so I would not be able to play much elsewhere.
In the end it would save me money, but I would also probably not be able to play with my friends although I rarely play with them as is. This course also has a mens league I would likely join. Help me out folks. Feel free to ask any questions.
