Membership at the muni is about 600. 14 for a cart per round. If I avg 2 per week...104 rounds. 1456 for cart plus 600. 2k. Range balls etc. EXTRA. I need to find a flatter course or buy my own cart because they allow that kinda thing.

Well, the woman I was talking about kept pushing for a raise in price this year. Apparently she didnt get her way because all the other pros at the other city courses told the folks in charge that it was a bad idea. This woman is ONLY thinking about HER course and how she is inconvenienced. Shes not thinking big picture and the reality that $200,000 or more might be walking out the door for the muni courses as a whole.I guess I missed where your rates were going up. I get they changed when the year began and ended, but is it not still $1100? So you can still play 170 rounds for $6.50 per right?
We have a course down the road here (National Trail) that is $675 for the year and the guy told me that is the price right now.Membership at the muni is about 600. 14 for a cart per round.

Are you yanking my chain ?Here in Phoenix it's $50 a year for a city card that is good for discounted rates and longer advance for tee times at all 5 city courses.
Why did you? Why didn't you join there before now?We have a course down the road here (National Trail) that is $675 for the year and the guy told me that is the price right now.
Why would I go above $1100 for the muni courses when I can drive 5 more minutes and pay just over half of that?
To be clear it's not a membership. City residents are eligible to get a city card.Are you yanking my chain ?
$50 a year???
No...it wasnt. That IS my point.You miss my point. The only reason to buy he membership is unlimited play. I get that.
The unlimited part wasnt MY idea.What your saying is the only reason you play is because if the great deal you get cost wise per round and if you can't have that deal you won't play anymore?
Jim, I own my own business and have for decades. I know what overhead is.If you think a club doesn't have overhead to cover your wrong.
What I know factually is what Ive stated. They stand to LOSE a great portion of about $240,000 per year. Most of the pros at the other courses grasped the idea that losing paying customers who werent buying a product, but who were simply whacking balls they bought themselves with clubs they bought themselves wasnt a good idea.I think that also what you may be missing is that cities costs are rising and they need to be covered. If they raise prices and lose a few members, my guess is that that is a choice they are willing to live with.
Looks like Im moving to AZTo be clear it's not a membership. City residents are eligible to get a city card.
They are gonna miss you Will.
We have something like that but it covers the majority I the courses in VT. Pay a fee, get the discount card. Some of the discounts are pretty good too!It's 6 courses, I forgot about a little 9 holer. To give you an idea of savings the rates for card holders Jan 1 - April 6th on weekend mornings is $31 ($29 mon-thu). Non cardholder rate is $43. These are walking rates. Plus you can make tee times 9 days in advance instead of 7.
SorryI guess at this point I'm not clear what your issue is actually.
This is what I understand, correct me if I'm wrong:
The price didn't go up
You still have unlimited play
The membership year changed, causing you to in essence lose 3 months next year
Are you asking if you should join the same club or look for something else? All I am saying is that I can understand things have to change sometimes.
