I'm the Chairman of the PWAC, I was in the meeting when trail fees were discussed, I know what was said and what wasn't said. Many of you know me for my videos and many for my writings on this website, I deal in FACTS and I check my opinions at the door unless I'm actually trying to express my opinion on the topic. I love the community we live in but also know it's not perfect and I'm not afraid to say, even if I upset the developer.

Here goes.

Last year when dealing with the budgets for Amenities it was discussed by the PWAC that when someone purchases a Priority Membership for the Championship courses the trail fees for the Executive courses is included and the Amenity Fund is reimbursed for the trail fees. This in itself was not news to any of the PWAC members, what was news was that the Executive course trail fee was only reimbursed 75%. The PWAC members questioned why this was the case and what are we, the residents, gaining in return. The response was basically "it's always been that way" and "nothing". Neither answer was acceptable.

At the budget workshop held March 24th the issue was brought up again and we (PWAC) all agreed that full reimbursement by the developer was required, and no discount was justified.
Thanks for the clarification. Those who golf the championship courses should not be subsidized by executive course golfers. No reason for the executive course trail fees to go up.
