If anyone ever needs a non biased ag to come out and try out their country club and report back shoot me a message. Ill let everyone know who has the best greens.
I heard from someone (who is not a member at Bent Tree) that they raised the initiation to $100k now that the clubhouse is about to open. Not sure if that is true. Seems like a big jump (passing Royal Oaks and Lakewood).Cool_Hand said:
BentTree will open the clubhouse in late August/early September. The design is a Spanish/Mediterranean and looks great.
The new Director of Golf is an absolute man. He's a difference maker and has raised the level of service and quality of golf. He will be tough to hold on to.
The course will get some improvements but the focus is obviously the clubhouse. Lastly, it has recovered very well from the freeze in mid-February and really looking good, especially the bentgrass greens (had them up to 12.5 for one of the recent tournaments).

Here you go. Royal Oaks and Lakewood CC are great options that don't require elite connections to get invited...just plenty of $$.
Is Lakewood really 9 years? That would put it longer than DCC, Northwood and Brookhollow. I think even Preston Trail is about 9-10 years. If that's really the case Lakewood needs to double it's initiation fee. It's a great neighborhood club if you live over there, but 9 year as sounds long.DGAG92 said:Elmo Lincoln said:

Lakewood, not happening. 9 year waiting list.

It's crazy what is going on with clubs right now. Sounds like everybody is full with long waiting lists and prices keep just going up.
I would recommend you join any other club over Lakewood too. We will somehow struggle through our miserable existence at Lakewood in your absence.HoustonToDallas said:
In terms of Lakewood it's my least favorite course in Dallas and least favorite club. Too many members, the range is awful, the course is not in good shape and you can't take carts in the fairway. I have numerous coworkers who are members and unless you live in Lakewood I just don't think it's worth the money. I would join DAC over Lakewood. Same amount of members and two superior courses. Every time I've been at Lakewood it's a 5 hour round. For 85k it's not worth it.
