Do you know if that offer is for every Cannongate course? I had thought about "joining" Smokerise since it is relatively close, but that was not the offer that they had. If I could pay $99/month for a free monthly round and unlimited range, it would be worth driving a little farther out.
No, its not available everywhere. This is strictly an ITP membership: you have to live ITP and be able to prove it. It amounts to an "associate" membership at every Canongate club. If I move outside the Perimeter, I will have to switch to an associate membership at a nearby Canongate club, or a full membership at the club of my choosing.
I guess they figure with the long drive, you are not likely to abuse the privileges. I am already trying to figure out if its worth a 30 minute drive for a free range when I can just buy an $11 bucket at a range 15 minutes away.
It certainly is worth it. I live ITP, and it would be well worth $99/month to have a good facility to use and have a free round every month. It would be worth the drive. I suspect Smokerise is not included or they would have mentioned it to me already. I'll check with them, though.
I missed your response here. If you have not figured this out yet: http://canongategolf.com/ITP-Membership-1042.html
I joined an exclusive club that has 2 courses, only 400 members, no reciprocal agreements with other clubs, 50,000 SF clubhouse, pool, tennis courts, 2 driving ranges, short game area, etc. Members are only allowed to bring 5 guests a year. Pay up $$$$$ or you wont be playing there. THAT'S the way a club should be. Non of this nonsense like Cannongate where they ***** out like 10 clubs for cheap in a package. That's a golf membership, not a private country club. It's not the same experience.
I am slumming it with a "golf membership" at a ClubCorp club. It really stinks because in addition to my two courses, four clubhouses, 3 driving ranges, 2 short game areas, pool, fitness center and a tournament caliber tennis facility, I get to play two free rounds a month on close to 100 courses nationwide. Oh yeah, I also get two free meals a month at other ClubCorp clubs, and I can bring as many guests as my little heart desires at very reasonable rates.
I really wish it were more exclusive though so I could experience a real private country club.

Country Club. For many reasons.
However for many, a country club is more than just golf.
I would have never been able to do it with an initiation fee. Got lucky in that regard. I'm hoping I can not suck so bad in the coming weeks and get out there with the weekend groups.
Here's a question that some people may be able to answer: a lot of clubs very close to me up here have little to no information about a membership on their website, or just say "membership is invitation only." With memberships down nationwide, would it be out-of-bounds to email the clubs if they have an email address listed to inquire about whether a membership is even available? Or is that just asking for trouble? I'm genuinely curious about it, but I also realize that this may be an issue in only major metropolitan areas with lots of "old money" around at these clubs.
no CC for me. pay as you play! you get to play more different courses!
For me, the CC is just for golf. I find I play alot more not worrying about paying every time I show up. Plus, my club favors members & always finds a way to get you on.
Smokerise (actually close to me) curiously missing from the map. Played there once and the range was really nice. Course had a tight layout and routing, but without that as a range option not sold on getting my usage out of the ITP deal.
I just got confirmation via email that Smokerise is NOT part of the ITP deal. Smokerise is only being managed by Canongate, and is not owned by them outright. I am still trying to figure out a couple other details regarding the ITP membership and club access.
Thanks for checking. I got the postcard and it was interesting, but I have to think proximity to a country club / membership is key to getting the value out of it (like a gym, etc). Never been a member of anything myself, just public.
