I’m pondering joining Friar’s Head Golf Club, but before I dive in, I want to get an idea of the membership costs involved. I’ve heard amazing things about the course and the community there, but I need to know what type of financial commitment I’m looking at.

What to Expect

  • Membership Fees: Are the initiation fees steep? What are the annual dues? Any hidden costs?
  • Benefits of Membership: Besides just the course, what perks come with being a member? Are there any social events, access to exclusive tournaments, or other facilities?
  • Comparisons: How does the cost at Friar’s Head compare to other clubs? I’m considering a few options and would appreciate insights on value for money.

Questions:

  1. Has anyone here recently joined and can share their experience?
  2. Are there any recommended places to look for detailed info or even get a tour of the facilities?
  3. What have been the long-term benefits of membership for others? I’m keen on understanding the community aspect as well.

Looking forward to any tips, advice, or experiences you all might have to share!

Besides the dues, there are often additional costs for events, dining, and cart fees. Some members said costs can really add up if you’re active in all club functions.

That sounds appealing! I just need to figure out if the costs will fit my budget. Is there any payment plan available?

10

From my knowledge, they offer various payment plans to help members manage initiation fees and dues. It’s definitely worth asking the club directly.

11

I’m all for that! Does anyone have insight into the upkeep costs? Like how much is a golf cart for the season?

12

Seasonal cart fees seem to hover around $1,500. I’ve also heard that a lot of members choose not to use a cart during their rounds to save costs.

13

That’s still reasonable. Any tips on getting the most out of the membership without overspending?

14

Be sure to take advantage of member-only discounts and events. Using the clubhouse amenities often also helps justify the membership costs. It’s like a lifestyle investment!

15

I love that perspective! It’s more than just golf; it’s about the community!

16

I just can’t believe how much they charge for initiation. It’s like they’re trying to keep people out. Anyone else feel the same?

17

I get that! But think about it—exclusive means you get a unique experience. Worth it, right?

18

I’ve heard that Friar’s Head membership is quite exclusive. The cost can be high, but the benefits like course access and member events make it worth it for avid golfers.

19

Absolutely! The networking opportunities with other members are a significant perk as well, especially if you’re in the business world.

I spoke to a current member, and they emphasized the top-notch facilities. It’s not just about golf; you can enjoy fine dining and events too.
