It is hard to compare the cost structure at different golf courses (i.e. in the bubble vs out the bubble).
For example, have 27 holes ready to first tee at 7:30AM vs 9 holes is very different.
You need 3 times the staff to place pins first thing; you need 3X the capital investment in mowers, etc
Even the staff in the pro shop, you need more to check people in during the wave. It’s not like you can ask people to come in at 7, leave then come back in.
