Country Club Golf Courses

By: adrian calow Almost all country club golf courses will let none members play for a payable green fee. You need to balance this cost against the cost of a membership as the amount you spend n green fees would of course depend on how much golf you play.

If it costs you $25 to play a round and you only ever play Sunday mornings then you are only spending $1300 a year on your golf. If your local country club wants say $2000 for an annual membership then it would be silly to take up the offer unless you were going to make use their other facilities such as tennis courts etc. Play two rounds a week however and obviously it is a different story and you should join the club.

Country club membership isn't just about golf though and you should check what else is on offer such as a sauna and spa, gym, pool, tennis courts etc. As a golf player you should find out if there is a members league, how many competitions a week etc. Also, if you are taking a family membership, what is the youth program like for the younger members of your family and is there much for your partner to get involved in if golf is not there thing.

Some club memberships carry a lot of status for their chosen members and this could be important if you run your own business and your target market are the affluent. These clubs can also give your teenage children a step up the ladder once they reach adult hood. Being known to the wealthy and elite of their community is going to be a big advantage once college is out of the way and a job is required.

For true golfers though, these are just added bonuses to being a member of what is hopefully a great golf course. As a golfer, what might be of interest is that many country club golf shops offer discounts to their members. These can range from 10% up to 20% and you could also be offered discount green fees to any none members who accompany you for a round of golf.

If you have only recently moved to an area and are unsure which country club to join, many offer a monthly membership so you can try them out befor taking the plunge and taking out an annual subscription.

You can buy property that is within the borders of many country clubs. These homes are usually (but not always) aimed at active retirement couples and usually come with country club golf membership already in the price of the property. One such club is the Gaillardia Country Club in Oklahoma. The community is gated for security and the championship golf course was recently redesigned by Tom Kites. Not a bad place to retire!

In Portugal and Spain these types of live in country club golf courses are extremely popular with people retiring early from countries in northern Europe. Many thousands have already taken the plunge and many more follow each year from countries like England where people come for the year long sunshine and of course, for the world class golf.
