Exec courses are not "free"...the fee is included with the amenity fee.

Is the cost of 18/27 hole courses too much because you can't justify paying the money, or do you just think they should be less expensive than they are? There are many things I can't afford or do. some because I no longer have the need/desire(played 18 hole courses for more than 30 years-the ego doesn't have that need to 'prove' anything by doing it).

If I did want to play them there are various levels of cost depending on how many of the 18/27 hole courses you want access to as a priority member. if you can't fit it in your budget then don't play them. if you don't understand the cost of running those courses perhaps it would be best if you tried to find out rather than think they're over charging.

Having played from Japan to Great Britain in the last 58 years I don't see the average cost of these courses as too much or extravagant . they do not fit my budget unless I were to give up other things I like to do and since right now that isn't an option it matters not.

grousing about the cost has no effect on their setting their price. there are many who can easily afford it, but don't like it...sigh...
