Golf prices are completely out of control, in my opinion. Most golfers on the weekends grab a cart, play 18, and have a couple drinks. When you factor in all of that, I don't understand how people do it, honestly. You'd have to think if one of these places below dropped their rates to the $95-99 range, they'd be packed all day long. People would also be more willing to drop money in the restaurant after. I think $100 is a psychological barrier for me personally but clearly not everyone agrees. I am happy to pay over $100 for a top quality experience but honestly, Redwood Meadows is the only place on this list that I'd consider to be that.

18 holes with cart on weekend:

Heritage Pointe - $135
GlenEagles - $130
Lynx Ridge - $125
Wintergreen - $125
Valley Ridge - $122
Elbow Springs - $120
Redwood Meadows - $117
Calgary Elks - $116
Blue Devil - $114
River Spirit - $110
Inglewood - $109
Springbank Links - $108
Sirocco - $105

Unless you're on the East side of the city or willing to drive an hour out of the city in a direction other than West... you're looking at $105-135 a round. That blows me away.
