Divi Links is 9 holes at $75. + but if you go around it's just over $100. Not sure on Terra del Sol, imo it's got to be higher!

Both are par 72 (Divi Links if you go 'round twice since it is only a 9 hole course), would have to be cooler the earlier in the morning that you play

http://www.tierradelsol.com/golf/green_fees.html
Tierra del Sol
http://www.divigolf.com/fees.html
Divi Links Golf Course

http://www.tierradelsol.com/golf/course_overview.html
gives you the handicap for each hole

If you take a look at both websites it should be pretty easy to see course is more suitable for your game.

no comparsion to the two golf courses. Tierra del sol is much better and the view is great. It is a little more (ok, a lot more) windy there and is more expensive. But worth golfing it.

Terra del Sol, as Andrea says is world renowned, as it was designed by Robert Trent Jones Jr.
