If there are 10,000 subscribers to the tee time system (out of close to 40,000 households)...that's $80,000/month or just under a million bucks a year. That seems like a pretty high cost for such a contained system. I would like to see a neutral party analyze this one...maybe a task for the amenity advisory committee. Cover costs yes...make a large profit no.

Since when is it a crime for companies to make a profit? Maybe they are maybe they aren't, I have no clue. But the last time I looked the sole purpose of any company is to "make a profit". Who are we to decide how much they should make? Sounds kind of like Socialism to me.
Quite frankly I'm surprised that they have only been charging $5.50 per month. Everyone here knows what the online Tee Time System can do. I don't need to go over the benefits. It has been $5.50 per month for a very long time, I think almost 6 years with no price increases. Everything else has gone up. Again some people may or may not like it, may or may not be able to afford it but it's still only $8.00 per month. For everything you can do on the system and for it's convenience that is well worth the money to me.
Perhaps they should ship the servers overseas, get rid of the store front, hire foreign technical support. Certainly then it would be cheaper and make some people happy.
