I also found it funny, and I live on the quebec side of the river.

Nothing wrong with a little humor on these boards, all in good fun! I laughed as well...

I was at the casino du lac leamy last weekend and the featured meal for Saturday was Poutine and Pepsi with a Jos Louis for dessert...

Was going through some old messages when I came across this one. Did you really join for 1795?

I was a players card member too and I thought we only got a 10% discount off the $3200 starting initiation. At least that is what I remember.

Worked out to around $2900... no?

Maybe I am mistaken, I will need to check this out.

Yep, I was a players card member at the Dôme when they decided to go private. I got in at 1795$. It’s now at 6000$ I think!

Perhaps I can get an answer here since I cannot get a reply from the Sales Team at Clublink.

If was to become a member at an Ottawa CL course, and travel to Toronto I understand how that works, however what if I had to move to Toronto?

Can you change your home course? What are the fees involved?

Thnks

That's odd. Seems like a straight forward enough question.

[Kbulm]

I guess what I should have said more properly is the call center staff will not/cannot answer they pass you to the local sales person. I have left 2 messages for the local people in the past 6 months and have not heard from them.

You can move anytime from one club to another. However you have to pay the difference between the joining fee for the new club if it's higher than the one you belong to. The cost (not absolutely sure) would be 75-80% of the difference to upgrade. I dont think you get money back if you go to a lower entry fee course.

My mistake. It was $2795.

Have you called Kanata and asked for Jonathan Bodden?

[guyfrompei]

Yeah I find it hard to believe they haven't called you back because ever since I've been a member I have found their customer service to be nothing short of outstanding.

I dealt with Jonathan Bodden in Kanata for my membership and he was great. I suggest you give him a call to get your questions answered.

On another note, just booked my first tee time for Predator today! Man I can't wait to get out. Any Greyhawk members happen to know if the range will be open before the course?

[jmr73]

Close... I went through this when I switched from Hautes Plaines to Greyhawk.

you pay the difference of the two entrance fees + a transfer fee (10% the entrance fee at the new course). So the fee is over 100% of the difference. You are right about not getting credit for goig to a lower course.

Keep in mind that the difference is based on the current value of the entrance fee and not the value when you joined. I was lucky that the entrance fee at HP went up and closed the gap between it and GH by the time I joined (GH was still $6500).

As for moving to Toronto area. Clublink has a policy that a certain percentage of your rounds (60%??) have to be played at your home course. THis is to avoid people joining a course with a cheaper entrance fee and playing all their rounds at a higher-end course.

I haven't seen anything on the percentage of rounds that have to be played at your home course. There were rumours of Toronto area people buying at Greyhawk and Le Maitre and playing in Toronto.

I also called about the range, they are hoping to have it open for the 21st, Predator's opening day, however it may be the next week when Talon opens up.

I was also told that 60% of the rounds must be played at your home course. Do they apply the rule? That’s another issue.

I hadn't heard that either until I spoke to a member in the Toronto area last fall. There were Toronto members looking at joining the Ottawa or Montreal area courses. I can't see how they enforced it in the past, I often showed up at the course without a tee-time reserved and was just told to go ahead (mostly late afternoons). I showed ID but I don't know if they actually recorded my presence. So I doubt they had the right stats on me. I guess that may be one of the reasons for the new identity program they have introduced this year. They are probably going to keep a closer watch on this.

I think so. The colour of the card reflects your membership, gold card, silver, platinum……
