I pay to be an “enhanced” member…..then during peak season I pay $53 a round…..to constantly putt ON SAND !!
The conditions are mediocre at best. I expect better for what we pay.
Don't know what to tell you. But I can guess what you'll read on subsequent posts.

I'll put them in order.

1. Don't like it? Move, or play somewhere outside of The Bubble.
2.The courses get too much traffic to be maintained better than they are.
3.While the enhanced membership ($971) for 12 months, and off-season green fees of around $40, and high-season greens fees of around $50 may seem like a good chunk of money, if you play 2 times a week, with the enhanced membership, that's around 6K/year. Not chump change, but if you are looking for high end private course conditions, that won't even get you in the door. Golf on the Championship Courses may not be "free", but it's definitely golf on a budget compared to a high-end private club.

4. I'm not here all year long, but I'm told conditions improve during the low usage, warmer, wetter months.

5. High traffic means a lot of maintenance, which around here, unfortunately, means a lot of sand.
