over the years we have been duped, if you prefer, with similar tricks. The Priority has been $925 the four years that I have been here and the green fees pretty much the same.
So instead of increasing the price they are giving you less and you can add what you want.
It has been a while but go buy a half gallon of ice cream, no such thing. There were problems and they did not want to raise the price so they made the carton smaller. They did that with cereal and many other products as well but most never noticed it. They had stable prices but got 30% less. They were happy because their ice cream, cereal or candy bar is still the same price.
??? The greens fees go up every year. And the condition of the golf courses is questionable. And they are giving us less but charging the same amount for a membership, while they are selling a record number of homes. Can you spell GREED?

As golfing eagles said: Last year the pools and the trail fees were included in the $925 (+$64.75tax= $989.75) couple's priority fee. This year the same products will cost you $925+$260+$132+$92.19 tax= $1409.19 or an increase of $419.44 = 42.2%
