Im not a member of any cc nor public course. I just play my county munis and we have 5 courses. Thankfully they are pretty nice courses but more than thankfully we have 5 of them which I can mix up my rounds at. I find after just a few rounds in a row at any one of them I want to change up the scenery and play another. There is one I play more often than all the others only due to the convenience of it being the one closest to my residence (20 mins drive no traffic) while the others are a bit further. Yet still I enjoy so much better mixing things up and playing all of them when practical enough for me to do so.
The times when I play many in a row at the same course I wouldn't say i get bored but just that a change in scenery is required. One of the things I dont think i would ever appreciate much of when it comes to joining a single CC or whatever the case is the fact that Id be playing the same course all the time. That part would bother me especially after paying the kinds of fees involved at many places. The same routines and same scenery imo does tend to get a tad old at times and I can feel that way now while mixing things up between 5 courses. I couldnt imagine having only one not being something I would need a change from.
Is this something that is at least somewhat a negative when you joined a club? try to be honest here please. I know that spending good money (and some people spend a whole lot) for such a thing can often make us want to justify it by convincing ourselves that it is not bothersome at all. And that may actually be true for many people and they dont find it a negative at all but I also think some people deep down do view that part as a negative even if not able to admit it. I also know people in my area who dont join a club even though they do have the finances to do so just for this reason or at least in part for this reason and also some who use to be members but no longer are for this reason as well. I suppose there are enough people who have alot of disposable income and join a club but still go out and play others anyway just for change of scenery and mixing things up.
I imagine youd also have to wonder how your HC (if you carry one) may be affected by playing different courses vs just always the same course.
I know you can play different tees and say that is one way of playing the same place with a different feel and view. But really its still not the same as changing courses. And if you are doing that just for the sake of changing things up, then perhaps we can say it is a bit of an issue in the first place.
So all that said, Do you feel its a little negative as for joining a club? Was that ever a reason you dont join one or perhaps use to be a member but no longer are one? Does it not bother you in he slightest bit?
