Boost your social life and game: benefits of joining private golf clubs

Private golf clubs have great benefits for both casual and serious fans of the sport. Members can attest to the beautifully curated courses and accessibility. Often close to home, private golf clubs offer vacations just a drive away: an oasis in the middle of a city. Here are some common benefits shared between member courses.

1) You can play more often. With less traffic than an average course, start times are open and consistent. The lack of crowding also limits the chance of getting caught behind a large or slow group. Even if this happens, it is most likely a regular regular allowing someone to play. On the other hand, a slow player will be relieved by the lack of pressure to hurry. Nothing ruins a round faster than someone breathing down your neck.

2) The game will be more fun. A large percentage of the fees are allocated to upkeep and maintenance. Most private golf clubs are committed to producing challenging but fun holes that take a long time to master. Coupled with perfect maintenance, they can be played over and over again without getting bored.

3) Private establishments usually offer significant discounts on guest passes. Therefore, a new member can bring her friends (who will surely want to see the impressive holes) while meeting other regulars.

4) Depending on how often the membership is used, it can save money in the long run. An avid golfer who regularly hits the green will prefer a membership fee rather than pay per round. And a keen golfer will have a new excuse to get out more!

5) Private golf clubs are becoming more familiar. A high percentage of them offer initiation courses for any age or gender, or even childcare for those who are too young to enjoy the sport. With flexible tee times and less pressure to speed across the course, a whole family can enjoy a round of golf together on one relaxing drive. High quality clubs can be rented for those who haven’t invested in their own yet.

6) Rates also ensure a large clubhouse, dining room, and other entertainment. This facilitates a welcoming social environment and is a great place to watch a professional tournament or other sporting event. The menu is usually reasonably priced for members and their families and guests. Like the camp itself, the lodge will likely be an architecturally impressive building capable of hosting a variety of social events for its members.

All of these benefits make for a smart life investment for those interested in honing their gaming and expanding their social lives. Any combination of those two interests will be rewarded with a commitment to the local private club.
