What is the current status of membership at your club
 
Depends on what you count as "full"? Our constitution allows for a certain number of members but we maintain numbers at a level slightly below that. And numbers are in any case fluid. We lose a few during the year and we gain a few replacements. So I voted full but without waiting list
 
Bit difficult to judge as we are a resort setup.

We offer various membership options including a retainer plus green fee option so normalrules for numbers are difficult to apply.

Seems to have been fairly stable last 2-3 years.
 
Our club has about 1000 members. According to German golf regulation, we are allowed up to 1400 for an 18 hole course (it's 700 per 9 holes), so there is room enough. Plus of the 1000 officially "active" members, only a fraction show up regularly. I'd guess it is maybe 200 that play more often than three or four times a year.

Out of 1000 members, only 200 play more than 3 or 4 times a year!? That is absolutely ludicrous!
 
Small number of places available, which is how it has been for a few years. We always have 30-40 leave when it's time to renew subs, for various reasons, but about the same number join during the year, in fact a few more in 2016. I can't imagine that we will be in a position to reintroduce the joining fee in the foreseeable future.
 
I had never really thought about this or been bothered, but yesterday me brother who plays at our place was walking his dog with me and a PP. He mentioned that the club is full. So we must be doing summat right. Nice to see that the course is still improving year after year.
