Halpert encourages potential members and anyone considering joining a Scottsdale Country Club to look at the following when considering a club:

What To Look For When Joining A Club

1. Golf Course Conditions- Pristine conditions on a Scottsdale Country Club course is always a good sign. With private clubs having fewer players on the greens, there should also be fewer divots and less overall wear. Ask about how the course is maintained and if the course closes weekly for maintenance.

2. Club Camaraderie- If having a place to enjoy a great happy hour on weekday is important, check-out the club’s social calendar and visit during the week and on a weekend to see what the atmosphere is like. Ask if special events like wine dinners typically sell out and about how many members attend the club’s big annual events.

3. Golf Course Efficiency- The pace of play can make for a great or painful round of golf. Efficiency can at times indicate how important it is to members to protect the quality golf experience their club offers. Be cautious if a round of golf isn’t finished in under four hours.

4. Variety of Memberships- Having a variety of ways to join a Scottsdale private golf club will ensure you get the most out of a country club membership at a price that’s right for you. For example, at The Country Club at DC Ranch, clubhouse memberships that offer access to all facilities and activities, excluding golf, are offered at just $5,000. A variety of options are also typically available at different price levels including junior, sport social, single and full golf memberships.

5. Building Family Traditions- Are you looking for a Scottsdale private golf club to be the spot for annual gatherings that friends and families look forward to each year? If this is important, ensure there are incredibly fun and entertaining holiday events for all ages from Mother’s Day brunches and Easter celebrations to glamorous New Year’s Eve parties.
