Just got back from a week in Michigan. Courses there are 1/2 to 1/3 price of Massachusetts, way better shape and MUCH harder . All muni courses have black tees.
Played 4 rounds with Pilgrim Run north of Grand Rapids being the nicest course I've played in a while, public and $80. That would be $150 -200 on the South shore. (Pine Hills and Waverly are junk compared to it and $150).
