The amenity fee has nothing to do with the championship courses and there is no cart fee for using your own cart on those courses. The trail fee is only for the executive courses. Yes, you get to use their cart and gas when you go off campus, but you are using your car and gas to get there. Seems like a wash to me as far as that aspect is concerned.
And "top dollar" depends a lot on where you lived before. Most courses available to me in my previous home wanted $75-100+ on weekends and slightly less weekdays, so the fees here don't seem too bad. Some from other areas indicate they are used to paying much less, so the fees here seem high.
Since the courses within TV have no trouble filling times during the winter season, there is little incentive to lower fees, whereas some of the outside courses have specials to try to fill up their times. Works well for us. Choose convenience of getting to the course in your own cart or drive to a course outside to take advantage of the lower fees.
