Puter,

I have no issues with companies making profits....but who are 'they' in this case?

It seems as though it is an internal Villages operation that supports amenities and should run at a cost basis...i.e. monies collected should support operating costs.

This (tee time system) is another fuzzy area of what is an internal resident supported and funded function versus an external developer/business function. I honestly don't know what the answer is.

The developer/entertainment dept can charge whatever they want to for drinks at the libation stations in the town squares and make a nice profit...good for them. That is understood to be a separate commercial enterprise.

Don't get me wrong....I agree that the tee time system is great and should be supported by those who use it but at a fair and reasonable cost. $100/year to use tee time system but $140/year for trail fees? Seems out of balance.
