The amenity fee covers a lot more than the exec courses. Pools, rec centers, pickleball and tennis courts are examples. You are not required to pay the trail fee. Walk it is healthier
We always walk. push carts are two bucks apiece if you rent them at the executive course shack, or you can buy your own and eventually save money that way too. Some people forgo a push cart and just carry their (slimmed-down) bags.

We moved here for many reasons but the executive golf course opportunities was one of the major ones.
