Is Old Orchard Country Club worth the green fee, and what should I expect regarding costs?

While Old Orchard isn't a budget course, we firmly believe it delivers excellent value for the experience. Expect a premium green fee that includes a well-maintained cart and access to top-tier practice facilities. It's an investment in a truly memorable round, not just 18 holes.
