cost per round at your club

[granters]

If you divide your membership fee by the amount you've played over the year how much does it cost you for a round of golf at your club?

I was pretty astonished when I worked out that this year it will have cost me approx 40 quid a round for the golf I've played. It's been the busiest year of my life with boy arriving and long hours at work.have only managed 6 medals at my own club,but buffered in 4 of them.

It's really made me think about next year,I could be playing some really nice courses for my 40 quid a round. Several times I've turned up and been greeted with the 1st tee chock a block and no chance of getting on. My last medal was 6 hours, and i finished a tie in darkness after 2 groups waiting on every tee.my problem is that with limited time to play, I just have to turn up and hope. My club has no tee booking system either,and medals are turn up and play too,so it's Russian roulette sometimes getting on for a hit.

Think ill probably leave at the end of the season,40 quid is an awful lot of cash per round.

What's your average?

My brother joined Ellesmere a few years ago when I think it was a years subs as joining fee. I forget how much the total was but I'm thinking £1500+. He played nine holes that year, now I make that over three grand a round, anyone beat that???

 

[walshawwhippet]

If i continue to play at my currant rate between once or twice a week, then works out about £8.50/round.
Thats cheaper than the nearest half decent muni: so quite pleased value wise.
I have another local club that would work out cheaper still, so i'll be having a look around in the next couple of weeks to see how they compare.

 

[fundy]

last year worked out at less than a fiver a round, this year probably nearer to a tenner, mainly because ive been injured for a chunk of it

 

[Imurg]

Depending on how many times I play berween now and April the cost per.round is going.to be about 4 quid.....

Is thatr my Ellesmere, no joining fee these days. about £800 a year for men.

 

[Fish]

Based on the last 12 months mine would be around £7.20 per round

Never looked at it before so thanks for the question, it certainly helps me justifying to the Mrs more trips to the golf club to get even more value :mmm:

 

[GreiginFife]

I'm about £8 per round at the minute. But if I did the reverse calculation of number of rounds played at the current green fee I would be looking at around £2000 so a bargain at £530 per year.

 

[full_throttle]

membership inc sports and social is £395, I play 5 times a week in the summer and minimum 2 a week in the winter (if it's open).

I reckon I'm paying about £2.50 per round if that.

 

[duncan mackie]

if you add in competition entry fees and match fees it's about £20 for the 100 odd rounds a year.

 

[brendy]

12 quid or so if I play 60 times in a year, less if you include the midweek 9's sometimes in the summer.

 

[Mark_G]

Around £15 a round, just because of work commitments this year, thank goodness thats over, and I will be able to play more in the evenings come the spring and hopefully reduce the costs.

 

[HomerJSimpson]

Not played at all since August bank holiday so works out at £18 per round at the moment. Last year it was working out about £11 plus all the use of the practice facilities so definitely getting my money's worth

 

[beggsy]

Looking at roughly £3 a round for me @£690 a year subs

 

[AmateurSwinger]

Play twice a week and if I keep it the same until June I'll be paying just over a £1 a round, now that's value!

 

[stevie_r]

Probably about £11 a round, which is considerably better than the missus who due to health reasons has paid about £100 a round

 

[Garesfield ACE]

about £2.50 per round.magic.

Big difference is you course is worth £40 a round. Always playable, good tough test of golf and amongst the best greens in Ayrshire. I played with Alan on Monday and the greens were magnificent. A joy to put on, true, firm and fast in October.
