The city charges $27 to play 18 holes with a riding cart

The city charges $27 to play 18 holes with a riding cart for those 55 and older or children 8 to 17 during the weekday. Other adults pay $38 to ride in a cart for 18 holes during the weekday and $42 on the weekend.City officials have talked about a long-term goal to build another 9-hole course as part of a plan to build a park on the west side of Murfreesboro, but many at the VA club question why it can't remain open until the future one is ready."If the city wants to build a new golf course and grow and promote the game of golf, how many people is the closing of this facility going to turn away from golf or prevent them from having access for the game of golf?" Davis asked.Davis noted that the Bogey Player’s Albatross Shot course is also important to the medical center, which accounts for about 200 rounds from patients this year.Clinton doubts the city leaders will reconsider their decision to close the course."It's mind over matter," he said. "The city council don't mind, and none of us matter."Fellow golfer Dan Foster agreed."I'm not happy with our politicians up town," said Foster, who resides in the Walter Hill community and has a Murfreesboro address.Foster and other faithful VA course golfers question why the city is willing to subsidize other parks and recreational areas such as the greenway and swimming pools and sports fields but not willing to keep their course in operation."I can't afford to go down there (Old Fort Golf Club) and pay $30 to play," Foster said. "I can play five days here for what it costs me to play one day over there. When you are on Social Security, you can't afford that. This is the only place people can learn to play. I'm 74. I don't play as good as I used to. It's my exercise."I can't stand walking on the greenway. Nobody shared obtain pleasure in within the activity of R11 Driver pressures you here.
