Is yours a private club or semi private with annual fee?
just semi-private. No real social aspect.
the one I am looking at for next year is a little different, though I doubt I will make the jump to it.

Great Info! I had no idea there was a deal like this available in Tampa. When I get back there I will check this out. Thanks THPers!!
Tread carefully. I opted out quickly and it was a fight. Slow slow slow slow slow. 5somes allowed every day of the week.

5somes allowed at oakmont, too... but frowned upon. I've played behind some twosomes at public courses that were holding up the whole course, though. it's not always the number of players.

ClubCorp courses are definitely not all managed the same. I have played Tampa Palms twice and it was extremely slow both times, not a lot of coordination/effort to alleviate the issue. Also have played in Jax and other places where it was definitely bustling and seemed very busy but pace was never a problem, and the staff was more present and involved. Having said that, even my worst ClubCorp experience is light years better than playing at any public course on a weekend.
Looking into ClubCorp up by me in NJ. They have Cherry Valley CC listed which is only 20mins from my house. Would love to be able to play there.
I am a part of a ClubCorp Private Club in Atlanta and pace of play is definitely not an issue. During peak I play at 4 hours and off peak I can play in less that 3 hours. I have played many ClubCorp clubs over the years and I can't remember playing anywhere when the round was more than 4 1/2 hours so I am not sure about the pace of play comment. I know Cannongate has a pace of play issue but I believe it is due to volume of play. everyone has to wait at the buffet line when there are a lot of people if you know what I mean. I have been a part of ClubCorp in two different states over 15 years and I would tell anyone to ClubCorp clubs are the best especially if you can travel. The cart fee golf and free meals I have enjoyed on the road have been incredible.
I looked at joining Gainey Ranch - there are over 1000 members, the resort across the street has access to the course, there are a bunch of tournaments there, and the monthly is as high as other clubs.I think it's hit or miss. Currently live in a community that has a private CC track and we are members for the proximity. The club is probably over subscribed and can get busy on the weekends. What is enjoyable is the access to clubs around the country for no more then a cart fee. I was in Scottsdale recently and in a round at Gainey Ranch which as in great condition on a beautiful day - played with a member in 2:50 for $18.

Also, given the competition, I did not think the course was all that great, although I did not play all three 9's.
