Committee recommends amenity fees

Pro-rated, six-month plan for golf would last through Sept. 31, with annual memberships returning in 2023-24

An amenity user fee structure for swimming pools in Captain’s Cove and a pro-rated membership structure and daily fees for the Captain’s Cove golf course were endorsed by the Operating Committee at its Feb. 24 monthly meeting. It now goes to the Board of Directors for final approval, which is likely.

The daily user fees and golf membership structure were devised by the Property Management Team and a working group and then forwarded to the Operating Committee for review.

Committee Chair Mark Majerus unveiled a proposed annual membership structure for golf but said that dues would be reduced by one half to cover the six-month April through September time-frame.

This pro-rated rate structure for golf will be a one-time event, he said, with memberships reverting to a one-year cycle beginning in October, the beginning of the 2023-24 fiscal year.

The half-year membership is designed to bring the membership into alignment with Captain’s Cove and Yacht Club’s October through September fiscal year.

Two Cove’s two outdoor and one indoor pools are available for use by Captain’s Cove Golf and Yacht Club members for no additional charge, but the Operating Committee is recommending fees for guests of members. Fees for longer-term renters have also been proposed.

The recommended pool daily fee for guests of members is $5 per individual, with a three-day pass costing $10 and a seven-day pass costing $25. These fees are non-refundable, with dates and names of a guest to be provided by a CCGYC member in the case of an advanced purchase.

For the category of non-member guests, or renters, the daily pool fee would $15 for individuals and $75 for seven days. An annual pass is available for long-term renters at a cost of $750 for individuals.

There is no charge proposed for children four and under.

For the remainder of the 2022-23 fiscal year only, six-month golf membership plans are proposed at half the cost of an annual plan. Members and non-members alike may also pay daily rates to play the Cove golf course.

Member daily rates are $11 greens fees for walkers playing nine holes, with a golf cart an additional $5.

The 18-hole rate is $22 greens fees, with a golf cart an additional $10.

For non-Cove members, which could include renters or public retail golfers, the cost for nine holes would be $22 for walkers and an additional $8 for a cart. The proposed 18-hole rate is a $44 greens fee and a $16 cart fee. Non-Cove members
