It takes about $6-700,000 per 9 holes to keep a course in pristine condition, and we have 36 nines, so about 22 million would do the job, probably even less due to economy of scale. Now you have to pay the staff, pay for water and maintain the facility----probably plenty of $$$$ left over based on those assumptions---but I probably forgot some things----drcar?????

As usual, you are spot on. BUT as you know we get the same complaints every year at this time of year. What the golfers (resident) don't want to hear is the truth. Take this year for example. Two very bad freezes, no rain for weeks AND golfers all over the place. The complaint is always the same, the developer is at fault, they are are not putting money into the courses. Well NOT true! The have and continue to redo courses, BUT this does not happen over night. Yes Lopez, Glenview, Tierra, and one nine at palmer in better shape! They have been redone. I say realizing that people are going to say "the greedy family." But we will have this discussion again next year or next week!
