I’ve heard great things about Arizona Grand! I might check that out as summer approaches; I’m a sucker for good views while playing.
I recommend looking into the local high school courses. Many of them have affordable memberships, and some even feature great beginner clinics. Perfect for getting started!
That’s a good idea, AJ! I’ve seen some youth programs at my local courses; maybe they’ll have a membership option for adults too.
On the flip side, I’ve found some clubs that advertise low fees and then have multiple hidden costs. Always inquire fully before signing anything. A little skepticism can save you money!
So true, Miranda! Transparency is key when looking into memberships. I made the mistake of not asking enough questions at first.
And don’t forget to check the course availability. I joined a club only to find out that the tee times were always booked!
Good point, Regina! It’s frustrating when you can’t even get on the course with a membership. Being able to play when I want is a priority for me.
At least when you’re not playing, you can enjoy practice putting or just hang out at the club. Though, that often ends up costing me more in snack expenses!
