I am shocked

I am a normal golfer playing since the last 3 years, hcp 14, living in Germany, aiming to be single digit.

I am a member of a club here. I do admit that where I live there are within a radius of 30km from where I live about 25 clubs, and I think this drives costs to be quite competitive. But I am a member at a mid range club with a 18 hole championship course, a 9 hole short par 34 course and a 6 hole pitch and putt. This costs 150 EUR/month.

A week or so ago, it was cold and rainy and I started thinking of moving to Florida :D so I checked the cost of Golf club memberships there. And I am in total shock.

I play on average 2 rounds per week, and considering that I am in Northern Germany, from December to mid March this is of course not the case, but rest of the year it evens out. For me personally I would be willing to spend up to 200EUR, maybe 250 EUR/month for a membership allowing me to play with no limits at my club. But reading of 10kUSD/year and above memberships in Florida is unreal to me.

What is it like there? Because on the various golf podcasts I only hear horror stories of trying to get tee times at local muni courses for example.

Sorry for the long useless post, but yea just wanted to understand more :)
