Transition to New Golf Fee Structure

A new golf fee structure eliminating trail fees and annual trail passes will go into effect at the Recreation Centers of Sun City, Inc., on Monday, October 1. RCSC realizes that many golfers have already purchased their annual trail and golf passes. As such, RCSC management has developed a transition plan for those who have already purchased their passes for the 2007–2008 golf season. Neither annual golf passes nor annual trail pass permits will be refunded. 

1.      If you currently have an annual Surcharge Golf Pass and an annual Trail Pass Permit and your Surcharge Golf Pass expires before your Trail Pass Permit:

You will not be charged the additional $2 surcharge until your Surcharge Golf Pass expires, at which time your annual Trail Pass Permit will be prorated (shown on a 12 month basis) for the unused portion and applied towards the purchase of the annual Surcharge Golf Pass at the new rate and begin paying the new surcharge rate. (Another option is to upgrade to the annual No Fee Golf Pass at the time of renewal).

            Example:  Golf Pass Expires 5/2/2008  

Trail Pass Permit Expires 7/7/2008

      • Cardholder does not pay additional surcharge until 5/2/2008.

      • On 5/2/2008, cardholder renews his Surcharge Golf Pass for $685 and receives prorated credit on Trail Pass Permit for unused portion of 2 months of $33.32 ($200 divided by 12 = $16.66/month). Cardholder pays net amount of $651.68 and pays new surcharge rate every time he/she plays golf.

2.      If you currently have an annual No Fee Golf Pass and an annual Trail Pass Permit and your No Fee Golf Pass expires before your Trail Pass Permit:

You will continue to golf and use your own cart until your No Fee Golf Pass expires, at which time your annual Trail Pass Permit will be prorated (shown on a 12 month basis) for the unused portion and applied towards the purchase of the annual No Fee Golf Pass at the new rate.

            Example:  Golf Pass Expires 5/2/2008            

Trail Pass Permit Expires 7/7/2008

      • Cardholder continues to golf and use own cart until 5/2/2008.

      • On 5/2/2008 cardholder renews his No Fee Golf Pass for $1,365 and receives prorated credit on Trail Pass Permit for unused portion of 2 months of $33.32 ($200 divided by 12 = $16.66/month). Cardholder pays net amount of $1,331.68. 

3.      If you currently have an annual Surcharge Golf Pass and an annual Trail Pass Permit and your Trail Pass Permit expires before your Surcharge Golf Pass:

You will not be charged the additional $2 surcharge until your Trail Pass Permit expires, at which time you will begin paying the new surcharge rate.

4.      If you currently have an annual No Fee Golf Pass and an annual Trail Pass Permit and your Trail Pass Permit expires before your No Fee Golf Pass:

You will be given two options:

a.       Prorate (shown on a 12-month basis), at a fee of $200/year, the amount due to accommodate the Trail Pass Permit expiration matching the renewal date of the annual No Fee Golf Pass:

Example:  Golf Pass Expires 7/7/2008            

Trail Pass Permit Expires 5/2/2008

·        On 5/2/2008 cardholder pays an additional $33.32 prorated portion of the former annual Trail Pass Permit ($200 divided by 12 = $16.66/month) to make the now expiration date of Trail Pass Permit 7/7/2008, same as Golf Pass.  

b.      Your annual renewal date of your No Fee Golf Pass will be changed to match the expiration date on your annual Trail Pass Permit and at that time the unused portion of your annual No Fee Golf Pass will be prorated (on a 12 month basis) and applied towards the purchase of the annual No Fee Golf Pass at the new rate.

Example:  Golf Pass Expires 7/7/2008            

Trail Pass Permit Expires 5/2/2008

·        On 5/2/2008 cardholder purchases annual No Fee Golf Pass at the new rate of $1,365 and receives credit for the prorated ($1,186 divided by 12 = $98.83/month) unused portion of previous No Fee Golf Pass of $197.66. Cardholder pays net amount of $1,167.34 and renewal date of No Fee Golf Pass is now 5/2/2009. 

5.      If you currently have an annual Surcharge Golf Pass without an annual Trail Pass Permit:

You will begin paying the new surcharge rate as of 10/1/2007. 

6.      If you currently have an annual No Fee Golf Pass without an annual Trail Pass Permit:

You do not have a valid golf pass as of 10/1/2007 and you have two options as shown in #4 above. 

7.      If you currently have an annual Surcharge Golf Pass with or without an annual Trail Pass Permit and would like to upgrade to a No Fee Annual Golf Pass:

You have always been able to do so and will continue to be able to do so; the unused portion of your annual Golf Pass and annual Trail Pass Permit will be will be prorated (on a 12 month basis) and applied towards the purchase of the No Fee Annual Golf Pass at the new rate. 

8.      If you currently have an annual No Fee Golf Pass and would like to downgrade to an annual Surcharge Golf Pass:

You cannot do so until the renewal date of your annual No Fee Golf Pass.

9.      If you are from the same household and you both have annual Golf Passes and one annual Trail Pass Permit and your expiration dates differ:

This is by far the most complicated process in the transition of eliminating the trail fees and there are numerous scenarios, therefore making it difficult if not impossible to create a specific procedure. The above described procedures (1–8) will apply until your first expiration date, whether an annual Golf Pass or annual Trail Pass Permit, at such time all members of the household should come into the Cardholder Services (Membership) office at Lakeview Recreation Center to review the options available. 

10.  If you are from the same household and you have an annual Trail Pass Permit and only one annual Golf Pass:

The transition process of eliminating the trail fees will be based on the cardholder in the household who has the annual Golf Pass. 

11.  If you have an annual Trail Pass Permit and no annual Golf Pass:

You will not be charged the additional $2 cardholder green fee until your annual Trail Pass Permit expires.

12.  If you renewed your annual Golf Pass and Trail Pass Permit in the last 30 days (after 9/1/2007) and you would rather be subjected to the new rates as of 10/1/2007:

Within the month of October 2007 only you may apply 10/12ths of the annual fees you paid towards the new annual fee rates; however, your expiration date will no longer be in September but in October on the date you make the change.
