Seniors Part 1

There have been many comments from our senior golfers regarding our senior rates. We understand that these are tough times and it is our commitment to offer everyone a great golf experience at the best possible price. Therefore, in 2006 we adopted a supply and demand style pricing which allows us to offer greater accessibility to all of the golfers in our system. In 2009, we discounted and stabilized the pricing for all of our senior golfers. The price for senior golf varied in 2008 with an average rate of $34.95 green fee plus a $5 cart fee for a total rate of $39.95. We introduced a standard senior rate in 2009 of $29.95 including a cart. Several of you have suggested that a discount be given if you do not ride but as you can see, the discount has already been applied and we are just adding further value to the green fee. Senior rounds are very important to the success of our system as seniors are generally more available during weekday and normal work times.

Considering all of these factors, we would like your feedback and input as to what we can do, besides changing the price or age requirements, to make your experience better. Would packaging lunch with the green and cart fee help you to enjoy the day? Or would more social tournaments such as an interclub series between all of the MCG courses create a better experience? Would you like more structured events at the facility you play regularly? These are some of the questions we have been asking internally as we try to develop a program that will improve you experience at MCG course. We look forward to hearing your ideas.
