Data notes & caveats
- The permit page says 'The 2026 season permit renewal is closed', and the 2026 PDF is a renewal-only application ('will not be processed if you did not have a permit in 2025'). How new golfers can get a permit was not published.
- Renewals had to be in by April 30, 2026.
- Non-resident break-even is not computed here because the resident scenarios use resident rates. For reference, the non-resident rate sheet is $61 weekday and $70 weekend for 18 holes.
