Dunce Cap For A Bit
My mind is made up... mostly. Convince me either way. I'm a member at a great club right now. It's not super kid friendly but family friendly,... yup! When I take the kids, it's usually to another local place. This club has everything one would want. Great golf, great food, decent (if I was 20 years older than I am then great) atmosphere. So as a nomad, vegabond, etc.. I'm always looking for the next place. Previous club has been mostly OK. I joined it though with the thought that every week night I'd be out there with my kids and every weekend I'd have a great round with them. They've stepped foot on the course itself 6 times. The cost per round is extortion level. Ouch.
The club I'm seriously considering for next year, fan-dang-tastic course. Great. WSG of golf plays there. I wasn't going to say it's name but after further thought, and only to provide further commentary, I will. Firestone CC.
What's the thought? I can afford it, but I guess they "fee" you to death? At least from what I've seen. I just want a place that I can play whenever I feel like it, and have a course to take my kids out whenever we have a chance. They've assured me that, most of the times that we'd have a chance to play, one of the courses would be open for play. Of course so did my home course. From my current home course I can only assume that they meant the range would be open??
For those with experience, is this place 1. Family friendly? And 2. Worth the dues AND the fees to play? I'm not real concerned with playing the championship course with my kids, maybe more than once a year. I am interested in not being blocked out from playing with them whenever we have a chance (course doesn't matter, just being able to play when we want to do so).
