Don't you think that takes a toll. And we don't pay pebble rates! JUST SAYING

Sorry, but there are lots of muni's around that get as much, if not more, play than our courses...and are in much better shape.
Here's but just one (Arroyo del Oso) and it's in Abq. ...which is not exactly known for having excess precipitation.

And although Arroyo del Oso gets more play 140,000 annual rounds for the 27 holes than any golf course in the state, you won't find many public courses in better condition tee to green.

Of those 140,000 rounds, about 85% are on the primary 18 holes...not the 'Dam Nine.'
And oh yeah, it is now all the way up to about $30 on the weekends...cart included.
There's no way around the fact that the overall poor condition of our courses, is primarily a function of how they're run and maintained...not a lack of money/water or too many rounds.
JUST SAYING.
