Aeration and Greens Fees

photo credit: danperry.com   Why do courses continue to charge the same greens fees when they are in the middle of the aeration process?  A golfer can go out of his/her way to play a particular course and not find out there is an aeration going on until they’re on the first tee.  By then it’s too late.

Many believe that during aeration, the greens fees should be lowered substantially.  Why should a golfer pay the same rate to play on a course that is in inferior shape?

Course management needs to lower their rates dramatically, especially when there are major maintenance procedures being conducted.  If you drive out to your favorite course and realize that aeration is taking place, ask for your money back immediately !
