Re: The Launch is a RIP OFF
It's simple supply and demand folks. If place remains busy at the prices they charge, they will likely continue to increase prices. In quiet times they correct prices (offer discounted rates or promotions) to encourage more traffic. It's not good business for them to charge $20 per hour when at $40 per hour they can stay packed. Why do you think a green fee costs what it does at Pebble Beach....because there are throngs of people willing to pay it and only a finite number of tee times each day. I understand that may be a lot to pay for some people but when you're one of the only games in town (at this time of year), you hold the cards. It's somewhat like lower end courses that open super early...they will be packed and make decent money before everyone else opens their doors.
