    Private Club Membership - When does cost outweigh the benefit?

    No cap that I’m aware of. We still have new member announcements every month, but maybe there some leaving to offset it. They increased the initiation fee to slow it down, but I don’t think they’ve put a cap. Oof, that’s rough. Our Capital fund has been enough for the larger projects so far. I...

    Private Club Membership - When does cost outweigh the benefit?

    I think tee times would help in my case. I could pick my time and it would also help me determine the busier times based on available tee times, so that I could avoid those as much as possible. But I'm in the minority at my club when it comes to that. Saturday mornings are crazy busy, but so...

    Private Club Membership - When does cost outweigh the benefit?

    It was only $1,500 when we joined. It's $10k now and people are still joining. It's a nice club, but not $10k just to join nice. Yeah, I'm okay with paying for the access and being able to play when I want, but there's way more people on the course at all times now than there ever has been...

    Private Club Membership - When does cost outweigh the benefit?

    We don't have an MGA that I'm aware of. No tee times, so I can't book the first tee time or anything. Just have to go and hope I can get out ahead of any larger groups. Sunday has been my 18 hole round for awhile, but once it gets warmer, everyone will be out first thing. There are other...

    Private Club Membership - When does cost outweigh the benefit?

    We have one public course and while it's always in pretty good shape, it's crazy busy. 85,000 people and one public course, the math doesn't add up. There are some options out of county, but then that still limits time to get out. I really don't have much of an option. I like my solo rounds and...

    Private Club Membership - When does cost outweigh the benefit?

    I know part of it is me, trying to play as a single and having limited time to get out. It used to be so easy though. I went to the course an played, not went to the course to see if I could play. Getting there after work and seeing carts stacked on the first tee, I know it's not happening. I...

    Private Club Membership - When does cost outweigh the benefit?

    Yeah, I definitely never expected to save any money with a private membership. It was ease of access. Being able to play 9 holes after works and get in 18 on the weekend and having a nice driving range. It's more difficult to do that now and the range is in really bad shape, so it's been mats...

    Private Club Membership - When does cost outweigh the benefit?

    We don't have tee times or a starter. When there were fewer members, that was great. It was super easy to hop out and not be caught behind anyone. Now it feels a bit more like a free for all. If the first tee is open, I have to decide whether to warm up or hit any putts or just jump out asap...

    Private Club Membership - When does cost outweigh the benefit?

    It's definitely tough to balance and I try to give some grace to those making the decisions. But, dues are increasing and will increase a lot for me come July, and there are fewer social events, restaurant has declined, and it's harder for me get out unless I have a lot of time to spare. That's...

    Private Club Membership - When does cost outweigh the benefit?

    We don't really have anything like that. There's some groups that get out and play, but nothing really organized except money games. We don't have tee times, so it's first come, first serve on the tee box. That can be good or bad. Sometimes I can get out ahead of everybody, but I've also had...

    Private Club Membership - When does cost outweigh the benefit?

    I don't know what the process is for that, but do know a couple of people on the board. I think the membership exploded and the money looked good for awhile, but now it's at a point where the facilities can't really accommodate the membership. They've raised the initiation fee several times...

    Private Club Membership - When does cost outweigh the benefit?

    This is something I've been thinking about recently and wanted to see where THPers landed. For those that are members of a private club (or any club really), when does the cost outweigh the benefit for you? I joined a private club about 4 or so years ago and one of the primary reasons was the...

    Do you like your good boring or exciting?

    Nothing like racing towards a curb at speed, and wondering if you should pick a bail-out point, to get the adrenaline going. :LOL:

    CONTEST Live Update Thread – The 2026 Vokey Experience

    This is great. I like the process of just hitting wedges without knowing what they are. No bias or preconceptions, just hit them until you find the one that works and inspires confidence. “The wedge picks you.” Hard to argue with Mr. Vokey. Thanks for sharing!
