Fee's increase

[duff]

Hi all,
I am new to this forum and this is my first post.

My club are putting the fee's up next year by £40. I don't think this is excessive and we are still good value for money. Various factors have been mentioned such as fertilizer and seed prices etc. I will be paying £460 for the year. Anyone else in the same position.

Duff, where are you playing? My ESP tells me somewhere in the centrasl belt of Scotland . I think £500 is about average to be honest. If you can afford it then your onto a winner.

Wecome to the forum by the way.

Not quite central belt. Over in the east Dundee to be exact.

Depends on the quality of the club and course, but assuming it has a decent track it is a good price to pay.

Mine went up about a tenner I think to £425 which for me is unbelievable value at a top quality course that is fully playable year round. would say that it works out at a couple of quid a game for me,if they charged me £600 I wouldn't complain!

Hi there,

I think it is a reasonable price to pay. I am lucky enough to live in Kent, but it is the presumption that everyone has money and the club fees are set with this in mind. However, I live in the Medway towns and even my local club charges over £800, although it is a good course.

Then there's the London course near Brands Hatch. I can either live in my house and poay the mortgage or join the club - can't do both!!!!

Happy holidays
