You're surprised that not every golf course in the world is run the same way? That's not true for restaurants, bars, retail shops, physicians, car dealers or any other business I can think of. What would make golf special?
There's nothing unclear to playing a round of golf. It's your trying to finagle some way to get a cheaper deal that's making it more complicated. Just make a tee time and pay them what they charge you. Then go play golf.
And no, the golf course would not make a "heck of a lot more money" by lowering their prices $20.
I would say restaurants, and retail shops very much run a standard model.
At 99% of restaurants, you walk in, sit down, a menu is handed to you with each item represented with a CLEAR price. At the end of the meal you pay your bill. There's no guess work about it?
Retail shops the same exact way. There is a price marked on each individual item and that is what you pay.
Golf courses are all over the place. Some green fees include cart, some not. Some you pay for a trail fee, some you don't. Some you pay by the hole you use a golf cart, some you don't. Some are the same price whether you walk, run or cart, some are not. Rain check policy, it's all over the board.
OF COURSE i'm trying to get a cheaper deal. Saving money that I can use for other things is exactly how I do life. Sorry if that sounds criminal to you.
