I don't know what kind of value you put on the preferred tee times, but it's certainly worth it to some people and not worth it to others.

From my perspective. I almost always play inside The Villages. It fits me better to hop into the cart in garage and off I go. I understand I could be paying a premium for that.
So the following rationale fits my wife and I. (I hope I got the math right)
For priority, I look at the math a bit different. My wife and I both play championships twice a week. If we
just look at Jan - Apr, we each '
save*' $15 per round.
About 16 weeks * 2 plays *2 people * $15 = $960
So I have already '
broken even**' and I also get:
- trail fee worth $141 which we use
- I do believe there is a benefit having a priority tee times during the winter,
- Men's day is also available to priority members on Tuesdays and is a good way to meet and play with other golfers.
- we enjoy going to the CC pools to relax and maybe even a cocktail
* I understand the
save is a bit off here as I pre-paid!
** I understand
breaking even is only compared to someone who plays on TV as we do without priority.
