Dirtydawg67: I think companies that run golf courses got caught up like the housing market in general in that too many golf courses were built & courses started raising there prices. Then when the economy turned bad these same courses are forced to offer Groupons to get people to come.

There is a course a few miles from where I live in Woodbridge, VA that went into foreclosure before it was able to be opened a few years ago. I heard the bank sold the course earlier this year so hopefully it might open up soon.

I do know two courses on the MD side of DC that went into foreclosure last year.

Here in the DC area it is hard to play with a cart for under $50 & a lot of courses are charging $75 to $100 on weekends....which is expensive to me.
