Polaris re-introduce(ish) annual golf memberships.

Phil

the annual membership fee is a joke.i pay £500 a year to play a championship course in the uk.

i hope everyone boycotts those prices and force polaris to reduce.

take advantage of the may specials on the polaris website under offers.

we are playing la torre on friday for 30 euros and get a free buggy-youve just got to ask or you dont get.

we then play  mar menor sunday at 9.30 am for 35 euros and get a lunch special for 5 euros in the hotel before taking a quick dip in the hotel pool-well maybe not the last bit.mines a beer.

I don't think you need worry about a boycott with those prices George. Who can realistically afford that who is young enough to have 25 playing years left in them. It is doomed to failure...........no doubt about it.

Hi All,

I think that this shows that it has already failed.  Polaris stopped doing annual memberships about a year ago when they introduced the 25 year scheme.  At that time they offered 'never to be repeated' discounts for a 'limited period only' to those taking them out.  This causes an uprising in the established resorts, and I think both the Mar Minor and La Torre golf associations stopped playing at pw courses, mainy because the residents either couldn't afford a 25 year membership or didn't expect to live that long .

So now, a year later, I guess that PW have seen the error of thier ways, and failing course takings, and have brought back a  'never to be repeated' and for a 'limited period only' annual membership scheme.     If I were a resident and playing 5/7 rounds a weeks I'd think about it, but as for the next couple of years I'm limited to 6 weeks a year so for me it ain't worth it. 

Maybe ( are you reading this PW? ) if the membership extended to residents and renters of thier property in the same way that the resident discount does I'd think about it?  ( did you read that PW, sounds like a good idea doesn't it? )
