I didn't realise this was about price ? Many of these clubs have very very good deals for juniors and young adults. I'm a member of one of these clubs and was also a member of another of them for a number of years. Golf is more expensive in central and west Scotland, it's the most densely populated area of the country and so demand for good courses is higher and they charge a higher price. If you take barassie, its 1200 a year ok, well what do you get 27 links holes open all year, championship test of golf and a good practice facility with 2 full greens aswell as a very large putting green. Let's take a course on the Southside of Glasgow, say east renfrewshire, that's what 1050 or 1100 a year and for 4 months of the year it's hardly playable, the practice area sits on rock and isnt usually dry until late April. Most courses on the Southside are similar prices, though without the joining fee of east ren. What's offering value here ? It's not really comparable to compare to price on the other side of the country, you can only compare to relatively local competition as prices vary locally for land and all the rest of it
Genuinely what is your beef with East Renfrewshire Golf Club? Every opportunity you can you run it down or have a pop at it. What is the issue?
That is a genuine question as their is clearly an agenda or bitterness there.
It may not be the best course which is of course very subjective but it's a course I've always enjoyed. It's a nice layout, pleasant walking and scenery, some really good holes plus usually in more than decent condition any time I've visited.
Just seems very odd how much anger and hatred you have towards the place.
