Hey all I’m new here and new to golf in general. I’ve been wanting to play golf for at least 7 or 8 years, ever since I got a golf ball in a Christmas cracker, when ever I pass a golf course it makes me want to play. I’ve been watching a few lesson/tips shows on Sky Sports golf channel as well as watching the current Turkish Airlines Open. It’s made me finally decide to take golf lessons, I don’t plan on trying to become a pro I just want to play for fun. I’m looking at taking lessons in the new year (2020). Which ever club I take lessons at will probably be the one I use the most. For those of you that’s been playing and have been members of clubs would you be able to give you views on what seems the better club. I’ve got included links to both respected clubs if you wish to see more. Also as a beginner would it be considered bad etiquette if after I’ve had some lessons to apply for membership?
There’s two clubs I was thinking about. One is called Eastham Lodge golf club which I’m leaning more to. It’s got great transport links bus stops near enough right outside the place and it’s within walking distance only a 30 minute walk. This club has it's latest fees out for 2020 and it’s seems really cheaply only £450 for an intermediate membership that’s for 25-30 (I’m 26) or it’s £850 for full membership there’s no joining fee either. Plus it appears you can play at upto 4 other courses as part of your membership.
The other club is Bromborough Golf Club which seems more posh going by its website. The only bad side is buses don’t stop near it’s a twenty minute walk from the nearest bus stop and it’s a 30 minute walk from where I live. They’re pretty steep at Colt 25-29 £760 for 7 day playing rights, and that’s not including the additional fees. Don’t know what “colt†means, but it doesn’t let you play at other courses, but has other benefits like competitions.
