Which Course Would You Guys Pick?

So first off good news!  I finally got my laptop back from being fixed so I'm back to blogging when I have time again.

In my last post I was raving about the great new rates for Spooner Golf Club.  Well after sharing it with a few of my golfing friends I have a slight decision to make.  Almost all of my friends are telling me they like Butternut Hills Golf Course better than Spooner, and they would pick that even if Spooner is cheaper for a membership.  Here are the links for each golf course:
Spooner Golf Club
Butternut Hills Golf Course

Here are some specifics.  Spooner's student membership is $165 including tax whereas Butternut's is $180.  If I go by how long it would take for the membership Spooner would pay off quicker due to the fact their green fees are slightly more expensive than Butternut's and that the membership is cheaper.  Driving distance is pretty much the same for either course.  Spooner is a much higher rated course and has more prestige.  Spooner is rated four stars by Golf Digest whereas Butternut is rated three and a half.  Butternut seems to be much more friendly to letting anyone on the course.  Spooner typically is seen as much more stuck up and has a slight dress code both of which has pushed away my friends from golfing there.  I golfed at Butternut a lot last summer and I can say that it is a good course with barely any annoyances due to less respectful people playing it.  Spooner I have not played at since I was to young to drive a car before I quit golf as a kid so I can not say much about that course other than what people tell.  So here is what I am going to do.  I am finally going to open up comments to see if anyone will actually comment and give me your opinion.  I want you to tell me which golf course you would pick for a membership for me and why.  I am currently leaning towards Spooner.  Let me know what you think!

UPDATE:
I was doing more searching around and found a YouTube video about the Spooner Golf Course.  Check it our here to help you decide which one you think is best.

The Spooner Golf Club's new Twilight Rate for this Summer!!!

So I just received an email today from Spooner Golf Club in Spooner Wisconsin about their new fees and leagues for 2011.  It looks like the golf course which is a pretty highly rated golf course has some new amazing twilight green fees for 2011!  Here is a direct copy and paste from the email:

NEW Lower Twilight Rates in 2011!

There is a lot of fun to be had after 3:00 this Summer at SGC.  Besides the two afternoon leagues we now have even lowered twilight rates.
9 Holes - $12 walking or $21 with cart
18 Holes - $20 walking or $34 with cart
UNLIMITED - $40 with cart

This excited me.  Finally Spooner which was an expensive golf course to me has finally become affordable!  Not only is this finally affordable to me, but twilight rate starts at 3:00 P.M. instead of 5:00 P.M. that most golf courses around that area in Wisconsin offer.  So if any of you are in the Spooner Wisconsin area over the summer I suggest you go check them out.  I have herd good reviews about the course from friends.  The only things they really complained about was the dress code and the price.  Since one of those has been fixed I am recommending everyone to take advantage of these new rates.  Also the dress code does not really bother me as it is not a crazy request in my mind for the course they just do not want you looking like a bum.  After I received the email I decided to look on Spooner's web site to check out their new rates for 2011 and low and behold THEY NOW HAVE AMAZING AFFORDABLE STUDENT MEMBERSHIPS!!!  The student memberships are actually cheaper then they are at the Butternut Hills Golf Course which is close to the Spooner Golf Course.  Butternut Hills is the golf course I golfed most at last summer.  I believe I may have found the first course I will actually get a golf membership at!  I am very excited about this if you can not tell.  I will keep you updated if I get a membership there or not.  Below are the links for the golf course and their 2011 fees.
