I agree with the OP 100%. Our lease goes up every year, $1.00 per acre this year. They do nothing to the property to increase the value, we the club do it all. Road maintenance, habitat improvements, bridges to get across creeks, etc. That's all on us and we don't mind the work, but in return all we get is another 10% price increase. I see no end to it and sooner probably than later the small clubs like ours will be drove out.
Making improvements can be costly. First when you make the improvements, and then you basically "pay compound interest" on the improvemnts for the next 2, 5, 10 years you have the lease.
