Relative to golf distinations around the country, our prices for golf are in line. The Glenn Club, Dubs, Seven Bridges, and others are premium places to play in our area and I believe they do warant their prices for weekend play. I take advantage of the afternoon rates at most of these course and the real bargin is their twilight rates. No if you want to talk about over priced course, pick any course in Las Vegas. They have some might fine ones but you won't find any under $140 for out of towners.

All those courses hold themselves in such high regard that they've forgotten that there's more to that price tag than golf. Ruffled Feathers & Seven Bridges have completely lost customer focus with there snobish attitude and take-it-or-leave-it form of customer service. 7 Bridges (No Range, caters to outings), Ruffled Feathers (Range open sometimes, but not early in the day, they misrepresent what good course conditions constitute,sand covered greens and tees, aeration does not warrant $125). Dubs, couse conditions great right before the Open not a premium course most of the year, add to that the most cranky, old pro shop attendant I've ever met and rangers that cater to their "comped" weathermen & sportscasters. The Glen Club is where the word rude was invented. Accross the staff a complete lack of customer focus. You can also add Prairie Landing to the group of overpriced.
Cantigny probably the best overall experience in Chicagoland (Pro shop items overpriced) or drive to TPC @ Deer Run

I started playing the Cog Hill courses back in the late fifties. We had a great Monday mens club and 3 courses to play on.
Joe Jemsek got the idea to have a Major tourney on the property, so # 4. Well he did get the Western, and since then the prices for all of the courses have shot up.
Some people reccomend boycotting, that silly, brand new golfers really don't know when prices were less, so thwey just keep lining up. So it goes.

Have to agree that Cog is overpriced. I played #2 twice this summer, once in a corporate outing and once with friends. People from out of town were appalled at the condition of tees and fairways. Staff was pleasant during the outing, but when I went with friends they acted like they were doing us a favor by taking our money.
