As far as it being a business and people are lining up to play them, I agree that it's a business but I don't know that people are lining up to play them. You can play the regulation courses at almost any time this time of year. There is usually a line of people at 5:00 when you can pay between $5 and $8 dollars. I am not privy to the details, but I have to wonder if they got the courses in better shape and lowered the price would they be more profitable.
I just wonder if the reason they are not fielding their own team to bring the courses into better shape is because they don't want to spend the money it would cost to do that. Contracting the best talent available may not come at a price they want to pay.
