Re: tee time-free golf?
Gingersmom,
I hear what you are saying and it is a personal choice by your availability but i've run the numbers and my math is different:
Cost for couples priority membership for all 4 clubs for 12 months = $925
Average Cost savings for priority member vs resident member on all clubs is $10 ($5 in summer, $10 in fall and $15 in winter)
That is a total of $20 per couple per 18 holes.
$925 / $20 = 46.25 / 52 weeks = .9 times a week to break even.
so if you golf once a week for the year (52 times) you get above even. More than that and you make out $20 per 18. It's not 3 times per week.
For 6 months the math is a little closer
$740 / $20 = 37 / 26 weeks = 1.4 times a week to break even.
I don't live there but I is there something else I'm missing? I'm interested in buying a priority membership since I plan on playing about 3 times per week when I get down there.
