When a golf package is put together, a green fee must be included in the rate. Motels must choose an average fee that they base their golf package on. The course with a higher green fee than this average will be surcharge courses.
Courses vary their green fees during certain times of the year.
Some green fees are higher than the average all the time, and some are average all the time. Those that are always higher than the average will always have a surcharge, while those courses that maintain an average green fee will never have a surcharge. Some courses vary their green fees, which means that at specific times of the year they will have a surcharge, while at other times of the year they will not have a surcharge. It simply means that the surcharge has already been figured in to their average green fee. This means that you will be paying much too much for some courses.
