They’re using that money to maintain 45 holes,
Even at $1,000,000 in extra revenue, you can do a lot with an extra $20,000/hole. At the high end, its an extra $80,000 a hole.
The most dangerous step onto a slippery slope is the first one.

If the powers-that-be can justify green fees for “four or five” executive courses, what is to prevent them from justifying green fees for four or five. MORE executive courses in, say, three years?
