And courses still seem to be full these days, so why lower the price? Supply is equaling demand. I agree less and less people are getting interested in golf, but I feel like there are still enough golfers out there to fill up all the tee times for many years to come.
I was talking prices down there using Canadian dollars, but still yes I realize they have huge advantages. I was just responding to Weitz saying it was on par or cheaper than the US to golf in Calgary.

Also, I don't have the same confidence in the future of filling up courses for years to come, myself. Anecdotal, but when I'm out golfing around Calgary it seems mid 30's is the young crowd. That would be super alarming for any business model.

I guess it depends on the definition of "many years to come". 5-10 years? Probably fine. Getting outside of that though? I think we'll see a massive, massive drop off.
