Dang if I lived in BCS traditions would be a no-brainer. 10K to join, 350 a month? Not bad for that level club.

The non-resident deal at Traditions is fantastic.

Dang, wish I'd gotten a credit on my initiation at Traditions.

Thanks for the replies, Vegas.

Those are some great deals.

Anybody have any info on Miramont membership?

I found an article on the web that shared this about Miramont

   Spellman said that the price value for Miramont is incredibly high. The introductory rate for resident members is $50,000 and $25,000 for nonresidents. Membership is $375 a month for residents and $275 for non-residents. 
   “The cost to belong to this club is very low,” Spellman said. “The (Adam Corporation) carries all the excess operating costs. When we wanted to raise dues earlier this year, word came back from the company to keep them the way they were because of the great price value. I was flabbergasted.”

Miramont is by far the nicest..

But by far the most expensive..

Trads would be your best bet I think

I would have expected miramonts monthly dues to be higher

Is Pebble Creek under new ownership and are they doing a membership drive where they are waiving the initiation fee?

Miramont monthy dues are insanely low. Mine are $700 a month. If I lived in Bcs I would join miramont in a heartbeat.

Don't you have to be invited to be a member at Miramont?

Briarcrest has a new option that I am on. I think it's called the Athletic or Sports option. I'm not positive on the name but it's for people under the age of 45. I paid a $200 initiation fee and it's $160/month. I believe families are around $225-250/month

There are 5-6 courses/clubs in the Austin area that are more expensive and the course/service are a step DOWN from Miramont.

In the state, there are more than a dozen courses/clubs more expensive but LESS quality.

Miramont is one of the best deals in Texas for the price.

Most high end CC's have stipulations where you have to be sponsored by other members and approved by the board. That said, most are very easy to get sponsorship and/or invited.

So it doesn't take an invitation from Don himself?

How's the staff at Miramont? Staff is what can make/break a club.

Sw, I doubt it but I am just guessing. I'm sure Mr. Adams has better things to do than approve of golf memberships but then again i hear it's his baby.

You show up with a check and you aren't a complete asshat, you're the newest member of miramont.

anyone know the story on out of town memberships at Traditions and Miramont?

I'm a non-resident member at Traditions and I believe this is still correct. $2,750 initiation, $175/month plus cart fees. You can pay $1,200/year and have unlimited carts. That option is best if you live fairly nearby and are there often.

The golf course is good, it's tough but that's really the only reason (other than running into Aggie sports figures from time to time) to join. The pool and dining are just ok.

Does anyone know updates on these membership rates in the BCS?

I know Briarcrest is now under new management. Thanks.

I know this old, but I"ll respond anyway. You're from Austin, so you should join the Hills of Lakeway. All of their of their golf memberships come with the One program. The One program gives you access to play Barton, Traditions, etc. on a monthly basis for just the cart fee.

How's pebble creek nowadays? I worked there in college 15 or so years ago. It was the nice club at the time and i did really like the course a lot. Have they kept it up since competition rolled in?

They have a new super (been there over a year now) and the course is 100 times better than 2 years ago. They seem to be making updates and upgrades all the time.

Haven't been out there in a few months so not sure how the summer has affected the course.

Prices all still pretty similar?

Am also switching from Pebble to traditions

Glad to have you folks from Pebble. Hope you had fun at the MGA yesterday.

Jealous of the low monthly vs Houston options...
