234.0. "private clubs" by NATPRK::SARGENT () Tue Mar 22 1988 18:44

    
    
    
    		Does anyone know what the costs would be to join 
    		any private courses in the central mass. area, also
    		what kind of waiting lists they might have??
    
    		with the way green fees are going up it may be 
    		worth it to dish out a lump sum to have regular
    		tee times.

234.1Be prepared!PBA::STANZWed Mar 23 1988 15:1812
    Cost is not the only factor- I hope you aren't thinking that you
    can join and play this year.....The waiting lists are two to five
    years long, plus the costs are skyrocketing! (Supply and Demand...
    everyone wants to avoid the two hour wait to tee off, plus the waiting
    on each shot...)
    
    Sorry if I've rained on your parade....but that's the way it is.
    
    The club I have had application in (Marlboro CC) last year was around
    $1500, and I am led to believe that is pretty reasonable....It does
    not have a pool or driving range, however- just golf without the
    frills.
234.2look around..USWAV3::FAGERBERGWed Mar 23 1988 17:365
    
    
      Although Sharon is a nine hole course, limited membership, our
    dues are under 700 dollars.  Look around there ARE clubs looking
    for members.....
234.3Another avenue-Inner ClubsKSYS::DONOVANWed Mar 23 1988 19:0210
    Another avenue you might want to pursue is to look for courses which
    are open to the public but also have an Inner Club (Wayland, Saddle
    Hill and Glen Ellen are three I know of) which will give you the
    advantage of guaranteed weekly starting times and tournaments without
    necessarily requiring a new mortgage.
    
    Good Luck,

    I'm a member at Marlboro CC. 1988 dues for a single are $875 with
    an early bird discount of $65. if paid in full before Jan 1 88.
    Also it is required to spend $25 a month in the club restaurant
    for 10 months of the year. In addition if you are a new member there
    is an additional one time $500. initiation fee.
    
    The waiting list to get in the last I heard has about 200 people
    on it.
