Mine are dirt cheap, but really more than I want to spend if I'm being honest.

I got a first year discount:

$1,350 dues, which comes out to 135/month because I'm paying it over the course of 10 months
$75 minimum in food and beverage per month.
$110 range fee (one time charge)
$$$ for anything else that I happen to buy like a cart, balls, tournament fees, handicapping, etc

The thing is, I figured it would be right at $200/month total (dues + food), but it's been anywhere from $40 to $175 more than that depending on the month. At this point, I don't enter any events, I don't get a cart, and I pay cash for everything to avoid a big bill, so a lot of the perks aren't really there for me.

If I had to do it again in my current financial situation I wouldn't do it. After the kids are older or I'm making more money, maybe I'll feel differently, but it's a lot of money for me to pay with the amount of time I have available these days.
