Country Club Golf Courses
by adrian calow
How much golf do you play? Can you justify the cost of membership against the amount you spend on green fees every time you play a round at your country club golf course?
If you only play on Saturday mornings for instance, and the green fee is $25 your golf is costing you $1300 a year. Not much point then in forking out $2000 to become a member. Obviously though, looking at those figures, if you played twice a week you would be wise to take up the offer of country club golf membership.
There are of course other privileges to becoming a member of your country club that should be considered such as spa, sauna and gym equipment available etc. Is there an in house league, competitions and other activities? Is there a thriving youth program for your youngsters to get involved with and anything your partner may be interested in if they don't play golf?
There is also the status that comes with being a member of the local country club. Many a country club golf house is the hub of the local social calendar. It can be an important place to socialize and drum up business for your company and for your children to learn the correct etiquette. These are all things you will probably consider when deciding wether to become a full member or not.
If you are a typical golfer though your main concern will be the golf course and golf so check out other advantages to membership that are often included. Many clubs for instance offer between a 10% and 20% discount in the club house, a discount to any none members you may bring along for a game and quite often you will be entitled to preffered tee off times.
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!
These live in country club golf courses are very popular in Europe, in particular Portugal and Spain. Already tens of thousands have taken early retirement from northern european countries such as England and made a new life for themselves with a warmer climate and world class golf.
