golf membership, online or clubs or what????

[Safrica]

hi, just started getting in this sport,
Seems like you need to get a membership and there seems to be the options of joining a club or a virtual club which seems much cheaper.
Is there any negatives on joining a virtual club and any suggestions on which one?

When I was still in SA I was a member of playmore golf (via The Proshop) and it worked out great for me. The downside is you can only book weekend games at affiliated clubs. But there are plenty of those so wasn't really a problem for me. Enjoy!

I joined via Tee2Pin. See it's R650 p/a now. Still breakeven after 6 games or so.

just check there site, basically you paying r650 to get a affiliate card.
Is that all you need.
I'm sure I would never play at there club.

Can't see myself playing at St. Cathryns either Card's perfect for getting those green fees down to affordable levels and after 6 games you get to start working on that handicap as well. It's a normal NGN card, so pretty much accepted at all courses
