You'd be surprised.  Last time I checked at Pinehurst the trail fee was $1,950 a year and unlimited carts were $2,000 single or $3,000 for a couple.

I'm rarely surprised by outliers, because I assume they exist.

Those are likely outliers. I've seen trail fees of $200, even $400, and that's for the year (admittedly in an area where the season is 7-9 months). It depends, I'm sure, on how the courses make their money. If carts are bundled, there's really no incentive to charge a high trail fee. If they're a big revenue stream, there's much more incentive. A local club here will even discount your membership if you have and use your own cart.

P.S. Also, a trail fee covers one cart, which can carry two people.

P.P.S. Plus, again, you get to walk. It's not just about $.

Club Car Tempo Walk:  That looks really cool!  I've seen that technology in a bigger scale/machine and it carries 4 bags for the foursome.

I'm imagining that the topic device has some type of control for it to stop following you as needed.

Anyway, other than it looks bulky to lug around from course to course, this technology looks like something I would like.  I've owned a battery powered caddy for many years now- early 2000.  It's low tech- on/off switch and an analog speed control.  I like that it gives the caddy effect while hands free.  The uphill walks are easier than with my ClicGear for sure- especially on windy days.  I wish I had something like this.

You wouldn't be lugging it around, presently it's being marketed only to golf courses for use as a rental.

At Whispering Pines unlimited carts are $125 a month, trial fee is $107.

Yep.  My club is pretty similar.  Break even between ala carte and pay as you go cart fees is about 100 rounds per year, with trail fees about the same for the year-round season here...

    • I kind of like this interpretation especially if you think about it the unplayable rule would probably put you in a better spot.  using back on the line releief.  
    • I did not realize that, I was thinking a more traditional golf club.  
    • Thanks for the feedback. @StuM, we are a "club without real estate" so no facilities or pro. We have a membership of around 185 players and we only play together as a group at our tournaments, which are held at public access courses. A group of us setup the tournaments, collect the money and dole out the prizes.
    • In general, granting free relief anywhere on the course isn't recommended.  Similarly, when marking GUR, the VSGA and MAPGA generally don't mark areas that are well away from the intended playing lines, no matter how poor the conditions.  If you hit it far enough offline, you don't necessarily deserve free relief.  And you don't have to damage clubs, take unplayable relief, take the stroke, and drop the ball in a better spot.
    • If it's not broken don't fix it. If you want to add grooves to it just because of looks that's your choice of course. Grooves are cut into putter faces to reduce skid, the roll faced putter is designed to do the same thing. I'm no expert but it seems counter productive to add grooves to the roll face. Maybe you can have it sand-blasted or something to clean up the face. Take a look at Tigers putter, its beat to hell but he still uses it.
