My buddies and I pay a yearly fee to play golf at a nearby course. The fee allows golf with cart, monday thru and including friday. They have another membership that allows play 7 days a week, which costs more, and we don't need since we don't golf on weekends. We've continued this 5-day membership for about the past 5-6 years.
This year we were informed by the club that they will still offer a 5-day membership (at the regular 5-day yearly fee rate), however, during June, July and August, we will only be allowed to play monday thru thursday. They are reserving fridays for the LBI vacationing golfers. We can play on friday, we were told, if we pay the normal daily rate for golf and cart! This would be in addition to our yearly membership fee!
Obviously there are a lot of angry golfers, but it appears at this point there is no recourse. If we want to play on fridays, we either ante up an additional daily fee for golf and cart, or we pay the additional amount for a 7-day membership, which allows play on friday.
What do you think about this, and what would you do? The one advantage of the course is that it is a 5-minute drive for most of us, the other golf courses are at least a 25-30 minute drive.
