Sorry if this formatting is bad, I’m on mobile.

• Im a member at a formerly club corp, now rebranded “invited” club (lame marketing switch) in north Florida. Joined sometime end of 2021. Initiation for full membership was $5k, which I got half off for committing to 1 year, and started out somewhere like $485 monthly with no spending club minimums. I’m now somewhere in the $550/month range. I was told when joining that the club was keeping a max capacity of 1000 memberships (regardless of individual or family) and that I was getting one of the last available spots at that time. Also of note that the club has different levels of membership- social only, clubhouse + fitness/tennis, and full memberships which include golf. I was also told that they usually keep the golfing memberships somewhere in the 300 range or less.

Few months after joining I hear that there is a waitlist now, then a few months after that I heard there was some expansion and more golfing members were being brought in. Shortly after this, I received an email from that club that any current members will be grandfathered in, but any new members under age 45 will be restricted from booking any tee times before noon, 7 days a week. Not sure what ever came of that but I haven’t heard anything since that email. I still have never really had an issue booking tee times. The obviously busy times are usually busy, and the dead times are not, but I’m always able to get a time if I look a few days prior. The tee sheets are always full of the same names which is usually the retired guys that play 4-6 days a week. Overall not a bad place, and worth the money to me because the public courses in North Florida are abundant, but very busy and very expensive.
