All executive courses have permanent concrete cart paths on which golfers must drive (unless you are handicapped). Just how much wear and tear is there on a concrete pathway? I submit there is none. Trail fees are a money making tax historically imposed by golf courses to enhance profit margins. For executive courses with concrete golf cart paths they are even more profitable.
You obviously don’t live on a golf course if you think people stay on the golf path. Most do but everyday I see people driving off the path more so if it is raining. Yes they play in the rain and at night after dark and for free after the starter shack is closed.
