In some cases - absolutely. In other cases....sort of?
In Canada, some public courses (usually your lower-mid tier courses) sit around $40-$60 for 18. That's not including if you take a cart which is a standard $20 easily for a lot of the spots around here. Walking has really helped.
Some of the better spots can be $80ish at least with some getting to ~$100There is also the situation of location - in the sports where people cottage/vacation - alot of courses are similarly priced.
COVID grew the game, but it also shrinked our wallets on the courses...in a way lol
