Anyone know the price for a regular member or junior member? Imitation and monthly dues??

I believe monthly dues are $350, $10 MGA/Handicapping service/hole in one club, $80 month cart plan, plus taxes. They used to have a $15 per month range fee but maybe that's been done away with. Call it $500 per month.
You don't join a club because it is cheaper. You are paying to keep the riff raff out.Ag_07 said:Just an Ag said:

So WTF is the $350 fee for???
This is what has kept me from joining a club. The monthly fees aren't bad but by the time you tack on all that other crap it becomes cheaper to keep playing the munis.
Honestly, I have rarely seen a club that is cheaper even than 3/4 rounds per week at a muni. Especially when factoring in assessments and other charges that are not dues.07fta07 said:
If you play enough it's a hell of a lot cheaper.
Which doesn't happen at many clubs you can get in at that price. The clientele at a discount country club is not different than what you would get out of a $60+ a round golf course.powerbelly51 said:You don't join a club because it is cheaper.

I can't play 10-12 rounds per month at any halfway decent public course for $350 a month.
For a single male, if you don't play 8+ times a month it's probably better to stay at muni's.Ag_07 said:

Exactly. I have the flexibility to go out anytime I want on the weekends and can hit balls on the range and then can jump on the course and play and practkce some holes without having to play 18 and/or play a 5 hour round. Also, even at a lower priced club, you do keep a lot of riff raff out because most of the riff raff does not want to spend $350 a month to join a club.

You could play a 60+ dollar course a few times a month rif raf free for the most part and still save money on the golf.

Few times does not equal playing 8+ times a month, 4 or 5 holes after work, plus 3-4 trips to driving range a week (unlimited balls), plus nice practice putting green in the evenings, ............
Some things in life worth counting every penny, golf is not one of those.
I know some people who are throwing money away on their club memberships...they play maybe 1-2 times per month if that, and rarely use the facilities as a family...but I'd say most people I know use it enough for golf and/or for family activities that they are getting a great deal.t - cam said:BESCo91 said:Exactly.rosco511 said:

Not to derail...I know golf is a game of honesty and integrity, but I am assuming there would have to be a witness around to collect on a hole in one pot right? That would really suck to get one during a late afternoon solo round or something.PedroJack07 said:
Holes in one collect $5/member... there were three last month.
