Membership Fees

[Bug Bunny]

The thread about how much you spend got me to thinking so I thought I'd throw this one up. I'm curious how my course compares to everyone elses. We have an 18 hole course, driving range and putting / chipping area. Our fees are like $165 a month which covers the family, all the range balls and cart fees. Also, if you can pay for the year, one month free which is what I did and will continue to do hopefully. How does this compare with your course?

[mcotter]

$360/mo. $60 food minimum. Cart Fees are extra. 27 holes. Guest fees $90. It adds up very, very fast.

[whetstone]

$1650/yr... that's $1500(membership), $50(trail fee), and $100(range balls).
18 holes, grass range, 2 chipping/putting areas, swimming pool. The clubhouse is new, and there's a restaurant in the works, but right now it's hot dogs/candy bars. For the price, the course is very well maintained.

My club is just outside London, no unaccompanied guests at weekends so it's pretty quiet, and works out around £1,500 (approx. $2,250) per year inc. £150 bar tab, but excluding anything else (balls/carts etc.). I've never golfed in the States, but I get the impression that you guys generally get more for your money over there.

I think the price is a little high compared to some of the other places I've seen. If they had a pool for the kids, it'd be worth it.

[Ozarkhillbilly]

Around $2,500 annually.....that is for unlimited golf and a small bucket of range balls each trip........

[CarlSpackler]

I pay $850 a year for unlimited play (walking) with 5 regulation 18 hole courses and 1 executive course between 3 different facilities. Carts are an additional $14 for 18 or $7 for nine, but I usually walk.

[Lefty-Golfer]

5k dues, 1,200 min for food, 12 bucks per round cart fees.

[slash5969]

$239 per month for unlimited golf (18 holes).
$50 more for unlimited cart useage, or $10 per cart rental if you don't want to pay the $50.
$50 per month minimum at the restaurant and/or snack bar.
$12 per month added on for range balls, whether you use them or not.

My average bill is somewhere between $350 and $400 per month.

I'm not a member yet but if I can get a job somewhere i will be a member of the course in my signature. It will be $545 FOR THE YEAR. That included unlimited play on the 18 hole championship course, unlimited play on the 9 hole par 3 course, discounted range tokens, and free tournaments every week in July and August.

[Mrd19abhs]

Joining in may and it will be 232 a month for green fees, cart fees, unlimited range, locker and bag storage. 24 hour fitness center, and dining room, clubhouse, pool, and tennis courts. So excited cant wait to start playing more than once a week.

[highscoreinky]

We have our "championship or regualtion course" and we're also one of only a few clubs in the state to have a 9 hole par 3 course. Membership/initiation fee was $900.00 when we joined in 2007.

Dues are $229.00 a month, no minimums and no special assessments. Family range plan is $200.00 a year. We walk for free but pay $16.00 for a cart. Guest fee is $41.00 with a cart. We also have to carry our handicap at or club which is an additional $80.00 a year.. That's the only real ripoff at the club since it's double what it would be anywhere else.

Little too steep for me, considering it would cost me 3200+

Too far too.

[TheWookie]

Wow SoCAL public/ semi-private memberships are really out of this world compared to what you get and what you pay. we see around 1-2k /year and 300-400 a month in fees and then they hit ya with a "golf fee"....not sure it is a real value.

[jhawker23]
