I guest you are talking about the amenity fees. Well number one, none of it goes to the championship courses. Since the executive course are controlled and run by the districts they could tell you. But it is just not golf, all of the recreation activities are supported by the amenity fees. This is not new, I play golf, but I do not complain about the cost of the pools, the tennis courts, pickle ball, etc. It is ALL part of the life style!
