Do you think they may have some financial issues? Do you think they have an incompetent superintendent? My course went through some pretty serious condition issues after flooding in the Summer of 2010. The greens did not completely recover until late this last season. Some of that was the Super's fault, and he's been replaced. They also run a ton of specials and host a ton of outings. But pace of play is rarely a serious issue. I fear there may be some financial issues. We pay about 3K for the family so similar to you. So we have some of the same issues as you, but one thing we have going for us is the members get first priority. They run events every single weekend with Saturday men's and ladies' clubs, and Sunday member events. They will not let a member out in the middle of an outing, but members run all over the course any other time. I can run out and start on any hole I want if the tee is full. So though it has it's problems, the members absolutely come first. The junior program is also great, and my daughter is treated like any other member, not some kid. So the good outweighs the bad. If any of the good things would start to fade, I/We would be gone. That's the question you need to ask yourself. Does the good outweigh the bad? Kevin
