If you want your TV Course to look like The Dunes in Myrtle Beach, add $450,000 - $500,000 in maintenance cost ... maybe more.
Want TV courses to be as well conditioned as Augusta National? No problem. Add $3,000,000 per course to the budget.
The same things are true, as it relates to the number of rounds played. You can maintain a course for $30/round or you can maintain one for $100/round. Whichever # you choose, is then driven by the number of rounds played.
Maintenance costs are directly attributable to the number of rounds played (not that there aren't other factors, but all things being equal, the # of rounds drives maintenance costs).

Maybe they should just admit that this is as good as it gets.....then all the comparisons/complaints will end. You know how well bond and fee talk goes on this forum. I think for the most part these are nice, serviceable tracks in TV. Under your premise and price point, rounds played etc, they should be able to stay that way consistently.....without capital expenditure type upgrades.
