A Golf Course for the Public is Not for Everyone

Golf courses can be beautiful, even spectacular, depending on the design and how well-maintained they are. There are three main kinds of golf courses:

1. A Private Course is a club that is only open to its members.
2. A Semi-Private Course has members, but is still open to the public.
3. A Public Course is open to any golfer who wants to play.

Which is the best course to play—a private course or a golf course for the public? I think it depends upon your personality and what you want from the game.

The Benefits of a Private Course
Did you know that for every six public golf courses, there are two private courses in the United States? This means that a private course is most likely to be less crowded than a golf course for the public. If golfing in an open, less crowded course is high on your importance list, then a private course may be for you.

If you also like the exclusive feeling of belonging to a club, then a private club could be up your alley, too. Private clubs tend to have a more upscale feel than public ones. Their club houses are usually posh and comfortable, as are their restaurants and bars located in the club.

Members also receive certain benefits. As a member you also are entitled definite tee times. Some private clubs even offer members free balls and apparel. Also, you have a say as to how the club is run. If you do not like something about the course, your opinion is definitely heard because you pay yearly dues.

The Benefits of a Golf Course for the Public
The main benefit of a golf course for the public is the fact that you do not have to pay yearly membership fees. Private clubs can be exceptionally expensive. Depending on the club, a yearly membership can range from $2,000 to a whopping $500,000 per year! When you play on a golf course for the public, you only have to pay the reasonable daily rates.

Many golfers choose to play on public courses because they believe one golf course is as good as the next. They do not care where they play, just as long as they are playing. And many also question as to why people would enjoy playing one course over and over again, when they could play lots of different courses day after day.

Whether you choose to play at a private course or a golf course for the public is a decision best left up to the individual. But no matter which course you choose, you will have a blast.
