Your reward is in line with the risk you are willing to take.
Having said that it should be understood that "nothing is ever free". If you see a buy one get one free, a free candy bar if you buy a soda, a free
high end music system if you buy the car, these costs have already been
built into what you are going to purchase. The recovery may be from a different product, or the free one has been built into the cost of the first one,
etc. This is a very basic requirement when compaines price prodiucts and services. THey have profit objectives they must meet to satisfy the share holders.
Given the above of course golf is not free. The recovery of their expenses
may be from the Amenity Fees, from some of the profits from sales of products, etc.etc. But rest assured golf is not free.
I really don't care..I moved here because we love the life style and I had
absolutely no expectations that I would get anything free.

Everything you say is true. TV is a great place unlike any other. The amenities are fantastic and the Amenity Fee is a bargain, but golf is not free. Call it included if you will but I don't think it makes much difference. Like the candy bar and soda you referred to. If it was indeed free you wouldn't have to buy a soda. Still, it's the biggest bargain going.
