One person on here has the line from Tom Petty about "most things I worry about never happen anyway" applies to this. Don't think it's worth worrying about, not likely to happen. Amenity fees rising, perhaps, but choosing a few exec's to tack on additional charge, doubt it, but who knows. Could become tiered, you never know. You pay so much for base amenity rate, then can add $20 a month for unlimited choice of exec's which would include the "well cared for ones", you never know, just doubt it ! As far as continuing to pay your amenity fees and then playing the public courses outside the villages, you'd have to do a LOT of pencil pushing to make sure that would pay off for you... there is travel (fuel is expensive), time, maybe even purchasing snacks or lunch compared to having your own from home, then you have to figure in cart rental if you use motorized cart, just a lot to figure before saying you'd switch and play outside courses if they begin an extra change. But then, perhaps you don't play often, might be able to justify it, but hard to do since no matter what, you still have to pay monthly amenity fees ! A lot to think about before would decide something like that.
