Lee,
I
got your info off the blog concerning the problems with the
Condo Association/golf course. I read about the overall problem in the
Golf Dispute Resolution Blog http://www.golfdisputeresolution.com/.
I am a property owner in a 520 property owner development in western Washington. The home owners association owns an 18 hole golf course with club house. Only 250 of the members actually use the facilities and with the down turn in the golf industry & real estate there is growing resentment among the non golfers towards supporting the golf facility.

In
our situation the golf course is primarily funded by HOA dues. Golfers &
non golfers pay the same dues and there is no "user green fee", so
the golfers get unlimited golf while the non golfers just get to pay the dues
& have use of the club house (but it is open to the public as well). Does
this sound familiar?
Our
BOD consists of hard core golfers so we have little chance of negotiating a
change. Unfortunately most of the non golfers are non residents and are
difficult to communicate with. How is Farmington Woods Golf Course
supported? Have you talked to an attorney to see if there is any potential to
force a change? I would like to stay in touch to learn how your situation plays
out.
Thanks,
Dick
