Hey guys and girls!
Thought I would make this thread so that people can get an idea of what memberships cost in different parts of the world.
Please list:
1. Your course name and where it is located
2. Adult Male / Adult Female / Junior / Senior
3. How much $$$ you pay for your membership per season / lifetime / etc...

I will go first. I just moved to Alberta (here in Canada) not so long ago and have been looking for a course. There is a decent course close to me but it's $9000.00 for a lifetime membership and I don't have that kind of cash to drop, especially since I won't be living here all my life. So looks like I will be joining a nice little 9hole course for $475/season.

1. Acme Golf Club (9 hole course). The course itself is located in Acme, approx. 20 minute drive North of Calgary.
2. Adult Male
3. $475.00 per season

i'm seriously considering the country club across the street cos it very convenient but it's a bit expensive. the membership costs $170,000-175,000 with monthly dues at $90. but it does boast 4 x 18-hole course and one 9-hole course, full club facilities (bowling, pool, gym, theater, numerous restaurants ..and two ranges ie.the works). my current club is a ex-military club (also with the works) and i have a term of 10 years which cost me just $4000, with monthly dies of $20. but it's a term and it expires with no residual value.

I am a member of Canongate Golf Clubs in the metro Atlanta, Georgia area. You can see thier website at www.canongategolf.com.

They are in a time of large expansion buying up many clubs in the area and in S.C. and Houston under Sequioa Golf Company. So their prices have gone up this season but still a very good deal.

Family yearly membership - usd $1500.00 p/year to have access to approx 15-19 clubs. Average cost p/round weekday $8.00-10.00 plus usd $14.00 cart fee. Weekend a little higher.

If you do not want to pay fees everytime - for approx usd $3000.00 p/year - for your home area courses.

[Grum]

Pay about £300 as a youth/under 21.
Membership at gleneagles, looking at about £2.5K  But thats with 3 18 holes courses(and another in the works), a 9 hole par3 course(solid as a rock, shoot par round there consistently and you are a serious player!) pitch and putt and the best practice facilities in the area.

$170k is absolutely ridiculous.

King's Forest is one of the BEST courses in the region, and is very easily one of my favourites. Over 7100 yards off the tips...how much more could you possibly want? Played it last July...OMG the WORST conditions EVER!!! With rerouting the Red Hill Creek throughout the course (for construction of the nearby Red Hill Expressway)...most of the irrigation lines were cut. Resulting in NO WATER. Didn't help that we had an extremely hot & dry summer. Course was like concrete...everywhere! I may has well of tee'd it up on the Q.E.W. It was a shame to see such a fantastic course, in such poor shape. Hope they can bring it back to life for you in '08. Being a public course, I've found it's conditions over the years to vary. Most times great...other times...not.
The .20 must be a penalty of sorts...just 'cause you live in Hamilton...

Hey- is anyone a member at tpc snoqualmie ridge? (or any other private tpc?)
I'm hoping to hear someone's account of the course, (and whether it's possible to think of being a member or just a pipe-dream to think of playing/joining there)

if you wouldn't mind sharing the initiation (under age 40) and monthly dues either on here or via pm, i'd be grateful.

[hbear]

Those numbers are so cheap.....I'm assuming a lot of public courses in there?

When I played at our nicer public courses ($80-120 green fee) memberships ran about $3100/year.

Our private courses generally run from 10-35k for the share, 10-15k for the transfer, $3300-4500/year in green fees (single), with a $600-800 spending minimum (which gets spent pretty easily anyways).

Only government could come up with the $.20  It amazes me that it is such a nice track and the city hasn't completely screwed it up yet.  Can hardly wait to hit the links.  If it ever stops snowing....

I play at Whistle Bear just outside of Cambridge
From the tips (not where I play) : 7717yds 136/74.2  stunningly well conditioned
Membership 3000 /yr no minimums

[hannul]

Jyväskylä, Finland
Course name: Laukaa Peurunka Golf  6100 m par 72
Adult year fee is 450 euros (can play about 6 months).

No extra fees for tee-times, but 20 euros for a car.
(We do not use cars unless you have to.
Last yearI didn't see any using a car, when I was playing.)

Very normal prise in cenral Finland.
If you don't get an annual fee, and pay just for green fees, it's about 30 - 40 euros per round.

My club is a Ross design that was built in 1912 and only costs me $270 for golf dues, plus another $20 for handicap and $30 for locker fee.  My company owns the club so it is by far one of the best perks of my job.

[Bomb and Gouge]

I pay $3,500 annually for my membership.

it's not a country club, just an awesome golf course and practice facility.

[rgk5]

Actually, the rerouting had nothing to do with the Red Hill Expressway as it was done to curtail erosion of the exisiting creek bed and create new fish habitat.  Conditions were much better later in the year.

Dupont by chance?  I play in Western Massachusetts and am 25 years old and my membership will cost me about 2200 with range and handicap.

No, it is not DuPont.  Dupont is around $3K upfront and another $3k a year for dues.
