Who exactly is the "we" that you refer to? I also have been paying the $6 per month and I thought that was excessive from the get go. Increasing it to $8 per month is adding insult to injury. Do not lump me into those that feel the fee is worth the convenience.

In my opinion, the tee time system should be run by the central district, not by the developer, and the charge should be just enough to cover the cost of development and operation. It should NOT be supported by our amenity fee but an extra charge incurred by those that golf.
