My family did a trip to St. Andrews and we played the Old Course and the Castle Course. Best golf trip of my life, being able to play the Old Course, get my picture with my dad and four month old son on the Swilcan Bridge was worth every penny. Went to Lahinch and I could not afford a round there at the time, so we played the castle course there, much cheaper, less crowded and runs parallel to Lahinch, second best golf trip of my life. Shot the same score at both courses almost 10 years apart. You're paying for the memories. Not a single person who has played St. Andrews or Pebble or Kiawah ever posts about the technical challenge of the course or the stimp rating on the greens. If you are going to a course with people that matter to you then how much is THAT time worth, because otherwise it is just a nice walk.
How much would you pay to play...
