Given today’s standard deduction, I doubt many itemize their taxes, interest, etc.

That is correct. If you choose to walk in the hot Florida temps.

Huh? The amenities fee covers pools and rec centers as well as executive courses. If you ever owned a pool you know the cost to keep and maintain is very costly. And the rec centers are fantastic. Nonsensical post unless you never use any other amenities except the golf. If that's the case, you should play more golf!

Hey, you can always walk and then there is no cost to you and then golf is actually FREE!!!

Don't want to part with $4 a round? Solution then quit golfing and stay home counting your dollar bills.

The District now has to pay the developer for the tee time reservation system, so most of the trail fee will cover that.

Executive Golf is free if you get a push cart and walk…..

Her choice. She also looks at rather nice landscaping so you might want to include that

The best solution is to not play any golf at all. Zero round of golf. Since you can't divide by zero, the problem goes away.

There always has to be someone that comes on here with false information and tries to stir the pot. I just can’t figure why people insist on being pot stirrers😠
