Our country? Discussion is about a local amenity fee and/or trail fee. If any increase and it is used properly, we can read a lot less posts about golf conditions. At the rate(s) golf courses are going downhill, only places left to play will be the ultra high end public and/or private courses. In Palm Beach County munis now charge $125 and up and very few privates left which members pay at least 20K a year to use.

Just paid mine last week. No increase.

At least the OP had the decency to say, "I just heard". Most posters just state what they heard as if it were fact.

Just paid mine in January and they are $135.92 plus tax for a total of $145.43.

"Trail" Fee? - For the privilege to drive a golf cart on paved cart paths that are rarely in need of repair. Sounds like a great deal! :)

I paid $145.43 in February.

I sometimes wonder who came up with the idea of a trail fee. Seems like a pain for the starter shack. No idea how much total revenue it pulls in though.

So you pay to drive your cart on a paved path. If someone jumps in the cart with you, they pay too. One cart, two trail fees. What a deal!:shrug:

No reaction to the first post so you made another. Here it is. You're welcome.

I agree with you, but unfortunately we don’t live in TV anymore. This is one reason I was wondering why the Executive coarse are getting so bad 120,000 people paying HOA fees & golf courses are so bad.
