Need opinions: Greyhawk (CL) or Camelot
Can anyone offer feedback on Camelot vs Greyhawk.
I am looking to get a new membership for 2010.
I am currently a member at EL. (I am not renewing because the greens are really crappy and they just don't spend the money to work on it. So it will be worse next year)
My thoughts are as follows but I can't seem to pick a clear winner.
PRICE
Greyhawk seems to be cheaper but not anything major. To me its almost the same.
8K initiation plus 3K annual dues for Greyhawk
8K initiation (quite a few members selling their share at this price) plus 4K for annual dues for Camelot.
F&B cheaper at Greyhawk (600 vs 1100)
COURSE
I have played Camelot many times and it is a great track.
Very challenging and tough greens.
Definately will not be bored playing the course.
Haven't played Greyhawk so I need to check it out but from reviews/feedback on this forum it seems like a much easier course (which is not a bad thing...just different)
PRACTICE FACILITIES
Camelot is very nice.
I don't know much about GH.
CLUBHOUSE
Camelot is awesome. Locker room is first class.
Greyhawk should be ok I am guessing.
EQUITY MEMBERSHIP VS NON EQUITY
Seems to me a moot point.
Not such a big deal (I think).
DISTANCE
I am currently in Upper Hunt Club so GH is close.
I have driven to Camelot many times, and as long as I am not going during peak hours I am only 25 minutes. But definatley, GH is closer.
INTANGABLES
I have met very nice people at Camelot and I like the crowd.
But I am sure it would be the same at GH (I think?)
I am not so much concerned about recipricol benefits etc. (I have changed my mind on this. It is definately a plus on the CL side)
Can anyone offer me any feedback in helping me make a decision?
Thanks in advance.
