Royal perth

[Jpm12]

Haven't heard many good things about the club, but being under 30 means no nomination fee and low subs. Is it really as average as I have heard? Where would it sit in the perth hierarchy of clubs??

[Johnny Canuck]

Worst of the Royales ;).

[Jpm12]

In what way?

[idgolfguy]

Fairways are like Maylands, an old airport. Parallel fairways. Conditioning is good.

[Marto65]

Join it.

Then travel the country playing the other Royals.

Then, in 5 years time, move to Adelaide or Melbourne.

[idgolfguy]

Now that's a 5-year plan!

[sms316]

Worst of the Royales ;). Royal Pines? Royal Military College Duntroon? Royal Nudgee?

[simmsy]

Ask Yoss, he's a member there.

Oh wait.......

[Jpm12]

Sorry, I should clarify I mean course, not club

[simmsy]

What are your other options?
Plenty of cheaper clubs out there.

[simmsy]

Where u located

[idgolfguy]

What are your other options?
Plenty of cheaper clubs out there.

Are there? Where?
I thought Rockingham and Kwinana were similar.

[simmsy]

Thought Gosnells and Harty would be cheaper. The deal freo have ATM I think mates it cheaper.
Like I said plenty of options, but I'm not sure what rp are charging with their u30 deal.

[simmsy]

RP for a 29yo is $2100 + $500 bar tab
Gosnells 6 day is $1700

Same playing rights.

RP is cheaper the younger you are but nt sure of the scale for each year between 18-29yo

[idgolfguy]

Wow! These are expensive. Been well out of touch.
Nuffie was looking at the Vines for sub-29s for a time which was was $1000 for full membership.

And before JC pipes in, 'pool, gym...'

[simmsy]

Their 18yo is like $800+200 bar and thn goes up from there.
No noms either.

So it really comes down to location as RP ain't that cheap.

[Jpm12]

What is the deal at freo? I live about 2km from there and would be first choice. Just not sure I can swing the nomination fe

[Yossarian]

What private courses have you played?

[simmsy]

That's the deal. Pay off ur nom over 4yr without having to pay subs. *










*Some conditions may apply.

[Golfnut]

Seriously, I would've thought it would be a no brained if your 2kms from RF. 3 of us here have joined in the last 3 months and really enjoying it, great place, great course that's always in excellent condition. I'm doing the 5day membership while paying the noms over the 4 yrs....it's a no brainer really if its a toss up between RF & RP (that is unless you fall into the sub 30yo bracket and you have a thing for RP)

[TourFit]

What private courses have you played?

No...it can't be!

Will look into that, thanks Simmsy/GN

Royal Perth is a great course if you are 70+ and live in South Perth.......otherwise I would look elsewhere. Royal Freo has the same recip's and is a way better course although they have some strange ways of doing things.

btw RP has basically lost its greens at the moment. Played there the other day and the tees had more grass (and were smoother) than the greens!

[simmsy]

Hahaha.
I just figured out how Yoss is paying for his green fees at RP.

"Hey little boy, let good'ol Roy take care of that for ya"
"Come and give this a rub will ya Yoss"

When did you play?

[petethepilot]

Last Wednesday!

I'm reciprocal.....remember!

BTW, I still enjoyed the day. Fairways were good and the course changes have improved the place IMHO.

[Yossarian]

Fair enough. I didn't think they were that bad, the tee boxes are quite good though, they've had some disease in the roots that they are only just getting on top of apparently.

[Golfnut]

Hope the greens come back in the next couple of weeks, RF is closed for the WA State Amateur from the 12th so we're heading out to RP for our mid week comp.

[simmsy]

Did ptp snub you Yoss?

[sms316]

Did ptp snub you Yoss?
Maybe Yoss couldn't get past 'Fit.

[petethepilot]

Maybe Yoss couldn't get past 'Fit.

Why would Yoss want to play with an Old Fart. Still shot 73 btw!

Why would Yoss want to play with an Old Fart. Still shot 73 btw! He probably ended up playing with 3 older farts than you.

[idgolfguy]

Perhaps prefers 'old fella' instead of 'old fart'.
