I have been debating joining a private club during the off season. Reason being i spend a ton of money playing the public/municpal courses here - and on the busier days Sat/Sun it just gets ridiculous trying to get out - tee times book up - slow play - etc etc.
The ranges at the public courses i play closest to me are just terrible so if i want to practice its usually off of a mat which i do not like ( i can hit off a mat at golftec anytime i want).
I spent enough money on public courses - to pay for the monthly dues at most clubs around here.
Im 34 - so this is the last year i can join a club at junior member prices.
Long and hard: I think im going to go here tomorrow and see what they can offer. There was a full page ad in todays paper so i think they will negotiate a good deal. My brother in law has been a member since they opened here, and i played it 3 times last year.
The facilities are top notch. The range is great - the putting green/ short game area is worlds above the only other outdoor option i have for ap ublic place.
The course has everything you need to challenge a member; Water, Trees, Mutliple long tee boxes. It was ranked #2 top private club in Central Ohio in 2009.
There is a nice bar and restaurant.
Its only about 15 min drive for me - which is a little drive - but my next best option is 25 mins away.
I can do this now - and join the private club... or buy some of those anytime passes for the muni's. I think all the money i spent on driving range practice and greens fees - should sway me to pay the money for the club.
Plus at the club i get a great short game area ( seperate chipping green with multiple holes, sand, options) (two large putting greens ) (seperate driving range)
Here is the club - http://www.pinnaclegc.com/
My sister and her husband just bought a house there - its relatively new - and his brother was a founding member. Going to meet them today for the Buckeye/Wisconsin game - hope to talk to them see if he has any pull hehe.
Thoughts advice one way or the other?
Also I want to get in on some tournament play - and they have several great tournaments obviously that will help challenge my game as i progress.
