Exclusivity just isn't that big a turn-on for me. I guess I am more of a "blue collar golfer". I just play it for the challenge and the fun, not interested in the prestige end of it at all.
I have already played Arizona National which is rated one of the 5 best courses in the state of Arizona. Did that twice and it wasn't even expensive. Nice course, but I didn't see anything all that extra special about it.

I am actually not a big fan of "exclusive" clubs. I don't mind, say Pebble Beach or St Andrews, charging a lot of money to play their courses. Even Muirfield, although extremely exclusive, does make tee times available to the public. I think that is as it should be.
Like C-Tech, for me it's all about the course. I would certainly never say no to a round at Loch Lomond or Rye, but I wouldn't work hard to wangle an invitation to those clubs.
