The price has dropped from $1,750 to $1,450 per year for nonresidents of Concord and from $1,450 to $1,150 for Concord residents.
The Birdie Plan, similar to the Eagle, offers unlimited green fees Monday through Friday.The price is down from $1,350 to $1,050 for nonresidents and down from $1,100 to $800 for residents.
The Bogey Plan is for seniors aged 55 and over. The rate has fallen from $1,250 to $750 annually for nonresidents and from $1,050 to $550 for residents. The plan has the same features as the other plans, with complimentary green fees Monday through Thursday.
