Golf course fees are going to be what the market will bear. As long as people are coming the fees will be what they are. If more people come than the course will handle, fees will go up. If people stop coming, fees will go down.
Usually as fees go down, the quality of the courses will also go down and vice versa. Golf courses have a budget just like everything else and a certain amount of income is needed to make that budget. When revenues go down, cuts to the budget must be made.
Of course the executive courses are full. We are all prepaid. Also, the executive courses are more suitable for the caliber of the majority of the players in The Villages.

LOL! I actually thought someone had revived an old thread! There's also a nearly identical post about restaurants from January:
Restaurant Prices Hit New Highs
Within just the past week I have heard comments from other Villagers commenting about a marked increase price in menu prices. I hadn't noticed it myself because we don't visit the local restaurants very often. But yesterday, after playing gold we decided to stop for a light lunch. With only water to drink, two sandwiches, and including tip, my bill for myself and my wife was
$31.24...Now that I consider my friends comments, this does seem a little expensive. A Cuban sandwich at $13.50 and my hamburger at $10.50. The sandwiches did come with a few chips and slaw.
