New Pricing at Campo de Golf Palma Real

A new rate sheet is supposed to be out October 1st. Regarding the cost, the only change I know about will be an increase for the annual membership to $65,000P (from $60,000P). The only changes to the course have been:
The removal of the dead trees, branches, stumps, etc. from Hurricane Rick last year and an effort to better maintain the course in general.
The caddies are now in charge of maintaining the sand traps. Of course, this time of year, with all the rain, any work they do on the traps is un-done by the rain the previous evening. The rain also makes it impossible to cut the fairways sometimes, so you can have the best drive of your life and still lose your ball in the middle of the fairway.
Other "improvements" are the addition of 4" high cement curbs to the cart paths so you can't pull up close to the green.
The food and beverage palapa has been moved close to the area as you walk out after paying at the front desk. You will no longer walk to the caddy shack to get your cart; your cart will be brought to the area right outside the front desk. The cart path has been reconfigured to allow you easy access to food and beverage between holes 9 and 10.
The palapa where many players changed their shoes is gone, and the caddy shack will be gone soon, too.
Future plans are rumored to be: the removal of the tennis courts to be replaced by a swimming pool with casitas built around the pool; and reconfiguring hole #15 to add apartments/condos. Also, upstairs from the office will be a bar and restaurant.
Remember, the new owner is a developer, not a golf course owner.
