How many more people will play a course on a Saturday or a Sunday compared to a Tuesday?
With that higher traffic you need to have more rangers on the course, more carts on the course, more maintenance and ground repair, more bartenders, more staff in the proshop. It isn't price gouging or taking advantage. It's covering overhead.
I wouldn't call myself a golf officionado exactly. But I've played tons of courses in about 6 different states now and I've never noticed an increase in anything on the weekends, anywhere, not even at resort courses. Staffing has always been pretty constant. Maybe an extra cart girl, but that's about it.
I see it as the courses right to charge what they want, when they want. I don't see it as unethical. It's supply and demand. But I just don't see that as being a good excuse for them doing it.
