I talked about this in another thread on the same subject, but will do it again for those that didn't see it or don't remember.
When we moved here in 2004, our amenity fee was $115. When we did our LSV in 2002, it was $108. It stayed at $115 for a couple or so years and then gradually climbed to $135-something by 2008. In 2009, it actually went
down to $133.36. Then it went to $136.33 in 2010 and in Sept. 2011, it went to $141.28 where it is now. The next calculation will be determined by whatever the index is....up or down. (Recalculations are done whichever month in the year you bought, so not everyone's will recalculate at the same time. Ours occurs in the month of September since we bought our lot then in 2003.) There is a cap on how much it can rise regardless of how high the index goes. Hope this helps.
You really do get a lot of bang for the buck....trust me. We had property another place.....more money, less amenities, and you had to tote your golf cart on a trailer for 5 courses or store it at the one country club (for a fee, of course) and you had to join the country club to do that. Even the golf wasn't free on any of the courses, either. They were always "cart path only", too.
