Default Re: Priority membership break even calculations

Here's what my calculations show:
This is for two of us playing once every week (using an average of fees of all champ courses) and for fall, spring and summer rates, through next Oct.

As a priority members we would pay $3078 for the year. Ave $60 per week
As non priority members, we would pay $3182 for the year. Ave $59 per week

I also calculated it leaving out the two most expensive courses (Lopez and Palmer), which we don't play anyhow and it dropped to $2938 ($58/wk) for priority and $3052 ($58/wk) for non priority. Not a big difference.

Calculations bases on priority fees for all courses ($925) minus executive trail fees ($141) which we pay anyhow so I left them out. And all figures are for teetimes in the afternoon (less expensive).


Russ, I don't think you can average the savings like you did because the summer season is 23 weeks x $3, the fall season is 11 weeks x $10 and he winter season is 18 weeks x $15. Total savings for the year are $449/52=$8.63 per person.

Unless I have overlooked something, these figures might be right.
