Golf’s popularity continues unabated. Even in Scottsdale, where summer temperatures normally reach triple digits, courses are filled with players getting in a morning of 18 holes before it gets too hot. And this isn’t at only public courses. Private golf clubs also have lines of people ready to tee up.
Are you ready for a private golf club
Private golf clubs in scottsdale are not lacking. In fact, locations like Troon Country Club dot the Arizona city. They are a respite from the summer heat and a pleasure to be at during the milder winter months. But, are you ready to go from a public course to a membership-based green? If so, here are three things to consider.
Cost
Golf club memberships can be expensive. However, what it gives you determines if the cost is worth it. You must look at the amenities list to see what is offered. For instance, do you get preferred tee times? How about a discount at the pro shop? Or, is there a reduced rate if you book the club’s hall for a special event? If the answer is yes to all three of the questions, then membership is probably worth it. If not, you may need to look somewhere else.
Staff
The staff at whatever golf club you choose should be courteous, efficient, and willing to go out of their way to make you happy. Not to the point of fawning over you, mind you. Rather, simply providing top-notch customer service. This includes the on-staff pros. They should be both patient and demanding so you can improve your swing and overall game.
Amenities
The golf course should not be the only club amenity. If you’re going to pay for a membership, then there must be other offerings. For instance, a workout room, pool area, and locker rooms. Perhaps an area for massages and other rejuvenating therapies. And, a bar and grill that serves more than burgers and salads. Use these guidelines and research the golf clubs you’re interested in joining.
