Craig .
This is so blatantly false that it undermines your credibility. Any golfer who managed to avoid a coma for the last 50 years knows that courses that allow walking and have a cart fleet charge cart fees. In fact, most of the courses you seem to like so much – Shandin Hills, Colton, Calimesa and Riverside – all have cart fees if you prefer not to walk. (Have you really played any of these courses?) Our course does not allow walking and therefore includes the cart in our green fees. But we do have guest riders (e.g., girlfriends, etc.) who pay a cart fee of $14. Many of our complimentary rounds are cart-fee only rounds, as are some special marketing coupons like the one you used.
I'm going to continue in bigger writing .
Furthermore, Craig ,you stated you were using a special coupon that allowed you to play for only a cart fee. The coupon stated the cart fee requirement in simple English – it was not written in Sanskrit, Swahili or Old Aramaic. So how could you possibly be surprised at paying the small fee that was disclosed to you in writing in advance? And if you thought the $14 cart fee excessive, or even repressive, then why for heaven’s sake would you bother to show up at all?
Hmmmmmm ….
