n Daily fees will increase $3 a round in 2023 which will apply to all passes accordingly ❍ Premium Pass - $4,755/person | no charge per round | expires one year from date of purchase • This pass is designed for the golfer who enjoys the convenience of not having to pay every time they play.
Play more for less as this pass is geared towards high volume golfers. ❍ Annual Pass - $1,548/person | per round fee | expires one year from date of purchase • This pass is great for our residents that like to play 60 to 130 rounds of
golf in a year. Residents can enjoy the best daily fee rates year-round with this option. ❍ Flex Pass - $2,862 (60) | $4,294 (90) • The flex pass allows golfers to enjoy a slight discount on daily fee rates by prepaying a flex credit on their account. • Flex Daily Fees: 18-Holes - $47.00 | Twilight - $39.00 | Super Twilight & 9-Holes - $31.00 • All flex pass accounts expire 06/30/2023. n Credit Book Advantage: ❍ Our residents can prepay their credit book year-round. This allows the resident to draw against this account for all purchases in the golf shop.
The true advantage is the ability to avoid the lines for shotgun starts & just sign in on the credit book sheet.
