Default Trail fee pluses and minuses

I keep going back and forth in my mind on this one as well. I walked more when I didn't pay the trail fee. I play on average of 2 times a week when I am here (7 months give or take, but probably going to be from early Sept. to early May - we are probably going to be gone in December for 2-3 weeks, plus I don't play as much in cold weather (although I do sub in my neighborhood league and another one if I have committed).

I am thinking I will get more exercise if I just don't pay the 6 mo. or yearly fee and pay the trail use fee ($3.50 each per 9 holes - or did it go up)? when I am subbing my league (which I do a lot) or when it's really hot or looks like threatening weather.

Still undecided. It covers the whole household, so consider if it is just you or you and your spouse (or significant other). In my case, he doesn't play much (but maybe he would play less if I didn't pay the trail fee)? Am leaning toward paying the 6 mo fee (ours is up sometime in January), then walking for a bit in Sept/Oct and getting one for Nov-April next year. Need to do the math, but then again, if I pay for it, I won't walk as much. Some of you may be more disciplined.
