Do you want the networking aspect, or do you just want to play golf? I'd say it would be more worth it to join a golf club and the YMCA, if that's all you want. |
It's because you're from a part of the country where country clubs aren't overly common, abaya. Golf clubs are more common here, I'd say--at least in Oregon, not so much in Washington. We have one here in Corvallis, but it's not at all a snobby affair; they offer summer memberships to the community at large for $600 with no joining fee. I've been there for a wedding and my SO had his work banquet there this year. I wouldn't join it myself, but that's because I'd rather join the athletic club across town. They have a better pool, and I'm not a golfer.
It really is all about what suits you and your needs best, ultimately.
