Both the executives and championships are clearly described as separate operations, with separate owners and profit motivations.

Here is where I am confused. How is it that if they are truly totally separate operations, the Priority Membership fee gets the member benefits for each separate operation? For those who are unaware, the priority membership gives the member priority t times and discounts at the Championships, but it also covers the members trail fees at the Executives. Are they really separate operations, or is that just lip service? Inquiring minds want to know?

I don't know how the business side works but they do overlap. The maintenance crews for the championship courses are also responsible for executive courses in their area. For example, the maintenance crew at Lopez also maintains Amberwood, Oakleigh, Briarwood and Walnut Grove.
