If someone is so put out by the three payment options given, don't become a priority member, pay the full resident green fees, don't participate in men's/ladies day, and sit at the bottom of the heap for tee time reservations. Your choice. Yet another first world problem here in TV
I play twice a week. Let's say I actually try to play twice a week (2nd wave) and have a year priority membership. For the past 4 years I have averaged playing just over 80 times a year with the highest year being 84.
For simple math $800 for membership divided by 80 is $10 / round.
We have 2 seasons.
The 5 month winter season I save $7/round
The 7 month summer fall season I pay $3.00 / round more than the resident fee. Check the sheet. The $31.03 really costs $41.00.
Yea you get better tee times but do you need them really. If it's the money a 6 month membership makes more sence.
