Well, I think there’s more going on here than meets the eye. According to previous posts in this thread by zcaveman, when Comcast bought out Clearlink they inherited a contractual agreement to subsidize the membership fees for any Comcast customer that requested a villages.net id through them.

Apparently that contract will end this coming June and Comcast has notified its customers that they do not intend to renew that contract. Clearly, this will result in a reduction of revenues since many Comcast customers would have requested membership simply because it was free even if they hardly ever used the service.

So this anticipated drop in the revenue stream, which could be significant, would likely be an important factor in the decision to raise the fee.

DINCH.....

First, Welcome
But, just showing up at a golf course I would not advise unless you're prepared to wait.

You may get out in a group within 2 or 3 t-times but it could be longer.

My group of 8 which plays every Friday had a request for 6 courses between 8:30 and 11 this week and we were denied. Granted, if we had more courses and a longer time window we may have been successful but...

Anyway our 'leader' was able to find 2 consecutive times at 7:11 and 7:20 at Hilltop so that we got.

Anyway, it's best to request something upfront as you're success showing up will be hit and miss.
Enjoy

ALN, one further question, is a tee time on the executive courses for 9 holes only, or for 18.
