I agree that most don't want to pay to play. Fair enough. But a course should be rated on its 'Return on Investment'. $10 for a course? Fair. BUT, did I get an ROI that made it worth my $10? That's what the course should be rated on.
My home course is a free course. That is my 'baseline' which all other courses are compared against. I played Morley Disc Golf Course in San Diego. It cost me $5, but was it worth $5 compared to my home course? No. But I wouldn't say the cost was a con, just because there was a cost.....I would say the cost was a con, because when compared to my baseline, my experience wasn't worth the $5.
So, using a fee as the only reason for a con....I don't think that's fair. Using a fee as a con because you don't feel you got the value for the cost - that is very fair.
I'm not sure many people will agree with that logic.
Look at the reviews of virtually any top of the line product in any market. Price is always going to be listed as a con, even if the product is highly acclaimed and is deemed to be the best on the market.
