Default Priority Membership.

Not sure how many Golfers that have a Priority Membership are aware of this; I know I wasn't. If for some reason during your time with a Priority Membership you become ill for an extended amount of time then you can be credited with that lost time simply by showing a Doctors note stating your inability to play. I have been out for 5 months due to cancer treatment and am elgible for a $192.60 refund now that I able to resume playing. I don't know all the details but you can get that at place you got your membership.

Great to know! On the subject of Priority membership, we moved in about 3 months ago and I purchased the trail fee for $140+ . If I get a Priority membership, will all or part of that cost be credited to the Priority fee?

Thanks for posting this info. I hope I never need it .

I often use your course condition reviews to select places to play, it is good to hear you are feeling better and ready to once again let it fly!

Just curious - Am I correct?

Hoping to become a Villager soon, I was looking at the priority golf membership.
I have read that (obviously) some think it is worth it and some not. To each his own. I guess the accountant in me is coming out! Here is what I came up with:

This is based on playing twice a week.
10/15 - 12/30 Approx. 11 weeks = 22 rounds saving $10/rd. = $220;
01/01 - 04/30 Approx. 17 weeks = 34 rounds saving $15/rd. = $510;
05/01 - 10/14 Approx. 24 weeks = 48 rounds saving $ 5/rd. = $240.

Total savings = $970. Cost = $740 = savings of $230 - not including the savings of trail fees.

Does this make sense or am I losing it?

The "real" savings is: Getting your desired tee time on the course of your choice.

uujudy, you don't have to have a priority membership or even live in TV to eat at the country club restaurants. You must have a membership to get in the pools though.
