There are other things to consider. I can't comment on the clubs you currently belong to, but I belong to a private club in Northern VA. Cost to join, somewhere between 15K and 25K depending on specials they sometimes run. Dues $450 per month. Food minimum another $100 a month. Golf carts $20 every time you play. Occasional special assessments anywhere from $1000 to $5000. I have been a member for 15 years and the total special assessments averaged about $800 a year over that span. My monthly bill for dues, food, carts and other runs around $1200. This club is not the cheapest in this area, but on the low side of that group.
In TV I would pay the $925, probably 3 rounds a week that would average $20-$25 per round for about 45 weeks of the year. No cart fees, no food minimum, and no special assessments. Total cost $3625, and at the very most with more golf $5000 a year. Currently paying $15000 for one course. TV I have 9 and soon to be 12 courses. Seems like TV is a lot cheaper.
Granted, where I belong now is a great golf course and I can get a tee time any day of the week I want, but it is expensive.
