winterbournered Posted October 4, 2017 Report Share Posted October 4, 2017 After some advice on Golf memberships! Where do the rest on you fellow golfers play? Who does the best deals? I've been looking at Woodlands mainly because Mangotsfield and Woodspring come under the same group! Kind of 3 for the price of 1. Anyone else have one of these? Any good? Or, are there any other similar memberships that incorporate more than one course/venue? Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

INSTEAD, spend some time with your partner. If you can't face doing this, spend the money on therapy to get to the bottom of why you hate your partner, and are - fundamentally - a self-centred, nasty-jumper wearing sociopath. At least think about it? tfj Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erithacus Posted October 4, 2017 Report Share Posted October 4, 2017 Conversely, consider spending about a grand a year on marital counselling. Don't get fresh air and healthy exercise there. You pays yer money... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eastonboy Posted October 4, 2017 Report Share Posted October 4, 2017 She's going to leave you anyway, buy a golf membership as it will mean a grand a year she won't be getting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DKM Len Posted October 5, 2017 Report Share Posted October 5, 2017 Unless you are looking to join in with the social side of things,I'd be inclined to keep playing different courses. I joined a club a couple of years ago and though it was great and I improved,I felt compelled to go as much as I could to get my moneys worth. Soon began to wish for the end of the year so I could play some others again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So many great courses in the region. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ska Junkie Posted October 10, 2017 Report Share Posted October 10, 2017 Until recently I had a membership at Lansdown but always kept an eye out for competition matches. If, for example, Lansdown were playing the Players at home, the opposition offer a number of courtesies where the home course members can play the visiting teams course for next to nothing. It meant I could play different courses without it costing me too much. The Mango / Woodspring / Woodlands deal is pretty good to be fair as there are 4 courses included but you have to play enough to warrant the cost. I stopped playing so often so it just wasn't worth it. Be careful of joining fees as well, quite a few courses still have them but I don't think the deal you mention does.

1960maaan Posted October 10, 2017 Report Share Posted October 10, 2017 Used to be a member of the Kendleshire. Friendly, good course and offers on for part memberships. Few City lads used to be members, though I let mine lapse a few years back, just didn't have the time. Depends what you want really, quality course or choice of courses. Playing different courses can work out dearer but if you only get out once a fortnight or so it's the way I used to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
