If you are a golf enthusiast and frequently play the game, it will be advantageous if you take a golf membership at a club near to where you play.
By becoming a member of one of the affiliated clubs, you can get an official handicap should you decide you want one and walk in without any booking, even during peak hours.
1] Reserve your place by booking online. The concerned club will send you a notification a day before reminding you of the booking, which will give you a chance to reconfirm or cancel your booking, depending on your other engagements.
2] Golf clubs are usually in huge areas, which gives them space to build extensive facilities with lots of open room and beautiful scenic terrains for members or their guests to enjoy. There are many options for your guests to enjoy while you are busy with golf.
3] Golf club membership gives you access private event venues where the public is not allowed, enabling you to organise private parties without outside interference.
4] There is a minimal monthly allocation for club members to use and enjoy the on-site eating options. Once a month, you can use your allotment for a dinner at one of the club's restaurants or for after-round snacks and drinks
What is a handicap?
A golf handicap calculates an amateur player's capability to play golf. By giving a handicap, the players get the chance to compete against each other equally. You must play a minimum of three 18-hole rounds and present your score to the club where you are playing. The club will then calculate the golf handicap. However, the rules vary from one country to another while calculating the golf handicap.
To have some parity in rules, the unions provide a Standard Scratch Score (SSS) to the golf courses to compute a golf handicap and make allocations for golf courses that may play easier or harder than "par".
Conclusion:
There are several other perks when you join a golf club. You can have snacks and beverages, and some clubs also offer apparel and merchandise at a discounted price.
