I am not really sure where to post this thread so I'll start here.
Am I the only one who thinks that because of the current economic recession that golf course in the GTA will have to come down substantially on green fees this year? In particular the higher end courses like Angus Glen, Eagle’s Nest, Bondhead ect. I doubt we’ll see much, if any discounting from the munis and lower end courses. I think higher end club that won'tl be able to maintain the status quo with respect to green fees this year, and if thier management thinks otherwise I believe they are going to be in for a surprise. Additionally, I think these courses will be squeezed on the corporate side too as it will be very hard for the banks and other companies to justify the elaborate corporate tourneys that they may have been running over the past 3 years.
Anyway my point here being; I wonder if avid golfers will be able to benefit from this recession in the form of lower green fees. I would be curious to know if anyone who works in the industry directly has any thoughts on this matter.
