Club Memberships

[Grunt]

Just a post on behalf of one of my mates who has changed jobs and now works 2 out of 3 weekends. Anyone know of any good midweek member ship deals going at the moment?

[Andrew]

If he is playing mostly mid week, then his 2 best choices are joining a cheaper club & playing mostly open days,

or

Join a top notch club outside Sydney as a country member. (I heard all the best people are do this)

[Grunt]

Yeah Andrew that is what I thought, any ideas on cheap sydney Clubs?

Check out Strathfield. They have a deal where you pay based on how often you plan on playing.......If you only play mid-week, it'll be cheap as chips.....

You beat me to it, was gonna mention the points system at Strathfield. I think it's a great model for "user-pays".

If you buy a 5-day membership (Mon - Fri) then you can get into a GOOD club at a great price.

Do that for a year or two, and you can upgrade to a full 7-day membership much easier, because you've already paid their astronomic entry fees.

I suggest calling some of the better clubs and asking about their 5-day memberships. If that fails, join Casino GC for around $100 as a Country Member (no requirement to play there) and get a handicap that way.

As of today I am a member of Virginia :-D
I was out there doing a bit of practise and was impressed by their chipping and putting area, plus they have 2 ranges, one about 120m & another about 300m The course looked in great nick 8-)

I was going through the fixture book today and saw there is plenty of open days on Sundays so I will organise an Oz golf day there in the next few months :smt002

congratulations Richard, i'm sure you'll get better value at Virginia than you did at Wantima :)

The 120m range is on the left of the par 3, 3rd, isn't it? But where is the 300m range?

[Jarro]

the 120 meter range is on the left as you drive in the front gate

Oh yeah, now I remember it. So that other one must be a full 300m? Just didn't seem that big, I guess.

I've never played those holes. Are they a bit Mickey Mouse, and just squeezed in wherever they could fit them?
