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.

What really blows me away? Most of these courses are still full or close to it even with those absurd prices. When Kananaskis was open it was I think $90 with a cart for Alberta residents. Damn I'm gonna miss that value when it comes back and prices inevitably go up. Twilight is almost the only way to golf on a budget.
