High End Public Courses Feeling The Pain

Hello. Another great article in ScoreGolf magazine about high-end public golf courses, and the pain they're feeling.
In Ontario, the "big 4" of high-end public golf (triple digit green fees) are (in alphabetical order) Angus Glen, Glen Abbey, Lionhead and Wooden Sticks. The first two have and are hosting the Canadian Open, so they are ones players want to play at least once. Lionhead has made the corporate tournament and customer service an art form. And Wooden Sticks with its replica holes offers golfers to experience playing famous holes. Many golfers want to play these courses at least once to see what they are like.
For other high-end courses, however, the picture isn't as rosy. Mystic Golf Club in the Hamilton area is in receivership because it priced itself out of the market. Other courses like The Rock were perceived as too gimmicky or too hard. There are others that are just too far away for many people to get to regularly. And still others which do not give you value for your money.
Can these courses lower their prices or come up with other strategies to stay alive? More tomorrow.
