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).
