Priority Golf Memberships
I would love to know what the logic behind the pricing is. 590 for 6 months vs. 740 for 12 months. Is it justified by the difference in the discount in the different seasons?

Justified by Managements decision to do it however they wish. It always costs more for a part time membership to almost anything than an annual membership price. Sounds like a snowbird wanting a six month deal for $370 instead of $590, just like the ones who don't want to pay for trash pickup when they are up North and want their TV service pro rated for six months.

If you're like me, from May 1st to Sept 30th when 11am discount rates are in effect, I always play at 11:56 or later (second wave). The priority membership will only save you $3 a round if you are playing at that time. For example regular after 11am is $23, Priority would be $20.
I took the six month membership at 3 courses (Havana, Mallory & Cane) back in 2011 during the high season for $490, that was Oct to April and I just about broke even. So no more priority membership for me. You need to play 2 to 3 times a week to come out ahead, I only played once and maybe twice on occasion a week. |

I had priority for 6 years roughly that adds up to $4800. Now divide that by the average fees on outside courses and that is a lot of golf But I know and understand its a personal thing |

My regular groups all require priority membership, as even one non-priority member in a group of 16-24 people...will adversely affect your choices on courses and times. |

The break even point is 96 rounds/ year or a couple playing just under once a week--and it is less if you join fewer clubs. |

Priority golf is a very good deal for me, a full-time resident. I play twice a week on championship courses, and once or twice a week on executive courses. The break even point is around twice a week on the championships, but you also avoid paying any trail fees (around $140/year for a couple or $4.00 per round) and you get priority pool membership, which we enjoy.
