    It obviously varies on too many factors:

    1. do they have a driving range with lighting?
    2. how big is the clubhouse?
    3. do they have heat or air conditioning for the clubhouse?
    4. is there a restaruant that uses electricity?
    5. how many carts do they charge everyday?
    6. If irrigation water is pumped from a nearby stream or lake, how much is pumped and how far?
    7. what is the price of electricity in the area?
