I've heard there were a decent amount of defections from Bent Tree when they did the rebuild. But, the people that stayed are excited about the new clubhouse. It's going to be nice. Have also heard they want to jack the membership price to compete with Northwood and DCC, but I think that will be tough. I think it's a great club that will compete for members in the Royal Oaks price point. Bent Tree has a really good membership imo and most people seem pretty happy there.
A few observations:
- Many of those that left were older, didn't use the club as much and didn't want to fork over the assessment dollars. This includes many original or early members of the club which was founded in the early 70's.
- Junior resident category is essentially full and have gained a lot of new resident members. Will likely never have the same initiation of Northwood and DCC.
- New clubhouse will be delivered over the summer and will be nice and much more efficient than the one that was demolished.
- Course doesn't need much work and that which is needed is unseen or off in the future. Bent grass greens will need replacing in 5-7 years.
Overall a very relaxed vibe with a very friendly, social membership.
