They are ... last I knew Dismal was $25k ... Red course having green struggles, again. Always feels like you'd never be shocked if it was sold or went out of business at any time. Sutton Bay ... shorter season ... $60k? for golf and hunting season. $40k? for summer golf season.

I'm surprised both greens and pace of play were that slow at ArborLinks. Prairie Club generally packed but that time of year it can be empty due to holiday. I had a similar feeling about Prairie Dunes. I felt like Sand Creek Station was a pleasant surprise.

hopefully you had a nice chat with Elsie.

Places I would personally consider due to proximity and attainability ... at least strongly consider. Lost Rail - my home club ... $20k for national, $4350 dues/yr ... will likely take a few more at that price, then raise. 40 mins from OMA airport. If I had a direct to OMA I'd highly consider. Kingsley Club - $50k ... not sure what wait list is like. Eventually will have 2 courses. 30 mins from TVC airport. The Harvester - uncertain initiation, but likely $25-40k range. 45 mins from DSM airport. Broomsedge - 2 hrs from CLT, 1 hr from CAE. Kettle Forge - won't open for a few years but about 10 mins west of Erin Hills ... new golf club ... $50k. Old Barnwell - second full course open in 1-2 years, likely opening up membership after a while. $40-50k initiation. 45 mins from Augusta airport ... 2 1/2 - 3 hrs from Atlanta and Charlotte ... 1 hr from CAE. Since I'm on a roll with South Carolina - Camden CC ... $3k initiation, $250/mo for national. Limited facilities but damn solid for the money. Mapleton - new golf club opening in Sept near Sioux Falls, SD. $30-40k initiation. Windsong Farm - NW Minneapolis ... 2 courses ... golf club. Win yourself a Dormie Network auction for $10k and see how you like it for the year.
