Put it in perspective
What everyone else charges for 4 of us
Advertised "from" prices per person × 4, sharing rooms, flights not included. Their packages include 4-day general-admission tickets; ours is one Captain's Club hospitality day. Golf add-on = our 6 rounds at rack rate (€1,425 each). Sources: Carr Golf, Ryder Cup Experience packages, RoadTrips, Premier Golf. €1 = $1.12.
