I'm wondering as well. There are reduced membership rates for "Under 30" and "31-35", but if they were waving the initiation then it would be something to consider.
As for $1,300 for 25 rounds, that's pretty stingy. Call it $50 for RCGA Membership and $100 for club storage and you're still looking at $46 a round. I wonder if you get to play in all the club tournaments?Let's put a Smile on that Face!

Looking at the fee schedule, it seems like there is only an initiation fee for the regular and associate memberships, which I assume would mean that the 'under 35' categories have no such fee.
At 900 dollars for a student, plus 500 in bar tab, I don't think there's any way I could not sign up, despite the long drive.
The only other question would be playing privileges, which I didn't see. Sometimes they put in whacky restrictions for students, so I'd have to check that out.

Definitely not worth $1300. The people I was talking to were under the impression that there were no restrictions. The buy rounds in advance option has always been there with a book of 20 rounds for $1000, so I don't see what is so special about this if it is the deal they were talking about.

I'm not sure if the Student category is actually for students with a valid ID or for anyone in the 19 to 25 age range. I'm only 24 and if I could get in as a student with no initiation fee, it would be real hard to pass up on. I think I'll have to e-mail them regarding this.

psst: hoolio: did I mention that you can join renfrew next year for $750? tax in!
I can't believe its so cheap. & they won't ask you for ID because its applicable to any new member. unrestricted playing priveledges and no initiation?
I'm not sayin' you should join next year... I'm just sayin'... go here: http://www.renfrewgolf.com/Rates/Rates.htm

That is an outstanding deal. I wish Renfrew wasn't so far, I love that place.

There's an overwhelming lack of surprise on my face that you chimed in here.
The fact is that if I leave work before 3pm I can be at Outaouais in about 25 mins, it would take me at least 3 times as long to make it to Renfrew leaving at the same time. Not only would I make up the difference in gas money, but I'd end up playing a lot more golf.Let's put a Smile on that Face!

Fair enough. get a Pruis. I promise I won't make fun of you. & leave work at 2pm.
Is there any difference between an Outaouais membership and an Outaouais Membershi^p?Andrew

That is not much of a deal--no kidding. Even with Executive Golf it costs 40.00 to play which includes a cart; that is not bad----but when there is walking allowed on the course but you are forced to take a cart there is only one reason for it. -It is a great price for some that have trouble walking but for people that are capable it sure puts a bad taste in your mouth. I love playing the course but I can hit the same ball somewhere else-for 1/2 the price.

Has Outaouais changed to mandatory carts? If so, I would have to think twice about a membership.

I believe he is referring to the Corporate Memberships. The companies that buy them don't give their members a reduce non-cart rate because it would cut into their revenue. Green Fee-ers are free to walk to the course, and so are the corporate members, but it really just feels like you are throwing money away when you do that.

It is my understanding that in this case, the board of directors at Outaouais 'placated' the membership that were ** because some green fee players were paying only $20 by making the rental of a power cart mandatory. The membership felt that if they were being assessed extra annual dues because of financial shortfalls, then green fee players should not be paying less.
If your a member, it sure makes sense but unfortunately, they have now lost most of those reduced green fees and now the spots are just empty so there is $0 coming in for thoses spots. Damned if you do, damned if you don't.Proud member of the 2009 OG/TGN Ryder Cup Champions

Not quite what I meant. I know the course is providing a rate that includes the cart, I'm just saying that the companies don't provide a non-cart rate because they wouldn't be getting anything back from the course. I'm sure you can go to the course and opt-out of the cart, but why would you?

Hi fellas--what I am saying is if we book with EG--we pay 40.00 which includes cart. I am not sure if there are others (Corporate Golf-Reservation Masters etc) have memberships there or what their rates are. The 40.00 rate is a decent rate for golfers that "require" a car but for those of us that have the ability to walk and enjoy the exercise we have to pay cart rental whether we use it or not---I just don't feel its right --that's all.
