I agree with Lynda. There is nothing for the existing member. What about a higher membership that allows you to get on the course whenever you want and you just pay comp fees when you play comp.

I understand your wanting to get additional members, and therefore green fees. But I think the price drops are too large compared to what you will get back. I'm not a frequent golfer, however, the course is an asset to the community and I encourage you to look at ways to get more utilisation of this magnificent, well maintained area

These proposals sound like a great incentive to get new members to the club. But what about existing members whom pay their membership year after year. No incentives for them? Maybe some free green fees/games?

I believe that the Council should consider "Corporate" golf fees/discounts/packages/memberships for businesses (meeting a specified criteria) in the Leeton Shire area. This would hopefully encourage a new market area with corporate golf days and possible business sponsorships. Businesses that often have visiting employees or new employees moving to the area could offer discounts encouraging brand new interest and memberships. The cost of having more memberships/players on the course is minimal in comparison to the potential revenue.

I think it's a great idea. The fees are very fair. Hopefully promote more golfers.

They are sensible and are a way to convert the twilight golfers to full time members
