A fairer way would be to raise the trail fees. Yearly trail fees of less than 150 per household is insanely low. They should double that and charge by the person to become cost competitive with other courses in the area. Also, why is it that when you play the championship courses there is no trail fee? You won't find any other courses like that. In most courses, it is free to walk the course but you have to pay between 10 and 15 dollars for a trail fee in addition to the greens fees.
