Message: [QUOTE="Petero, post: 2195479, member: 3102"] I agree with the comment that golf, especially winter or resort golf, is generally ridiculously expensive????. Here's an interesting approach being tried at my local course in upstate NY. First, at little background. It is a nice 9 hole layout, shorter but quite challenging with water on 7 of the nine. They have been having numbers issues for quite a few years and was losing money. He offered $49 annual unlimited golf membership. You needed to buy a three year membership. Cart fees were not included and no private alcohol is allowed (state law is being enforced). It doesn't cover league play or tournaments. The results have been amazing. Over 400 new members and a three x increase in rounds played. Lots of people coming out in the evenings and playing 3-4 holes as practice time and a major increase in cart rentals and clubhouse sales. He says he is making money...good money. A interesting idea.
