How much do you pay annually for Golf Membership?

and do you have to pay a joining fee?

would your course be considered very good or average at best?

are you close to a city or large urban location?

are there any unique extra features such as driving ranges, or health spa's?

im trying to compare prices around the world as i imagine they vary greatly,
also in Ireland most golf courses outprice the population, so this limits the ability of a nation to produce great players.

My local country club is quite a deal. We get to play for 89 bucks a month for green fee's. This entitles us to 10 percent discounts on all merchandise, bring a friend for 25 bucks Fridays, 17 dollars for all day cart use and a number of member only benefits such as half off range balls. It also provides us with country club use, a swimming pool pass and a few matches at a local tennis club. Our course has two sides one opened in 1949 and the other in the early 90's so their is definately a contrast. the back side is open and with sloped greens and tight fairways. The front side is tree lined with trouble everywhere with a few sloped greens. Our course's signature is small greens that are really fast. It's an average course that is quickly becoming above average with our new green's keeper. The course rating is 69.1 with a slope rating of 125.
