Pilotman Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 why would anyone wish to do that? Much cheaper to stay freelance, unless you have pretensions of course. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much cheaper to stay freelance, unless you have pretensions of course. Membership of ‘some’ courses can be considered an investment and can be sold on at a later date. The normal greens fees for this course appear to be about 4000 baht - so a saving of 2700 baht (or there about) per round... if one is playing 3 times per week (that’s a saving of 405,000 baht per year) - I use the figures to outline that the memberships is not that outrageous once we look at the figures more closely. Of course, membership at one Club doesn’t give you the freedom of cheap rounds at other courses - but with Siam Country Club having 4 courses there appears to be plenty of freedom. I can see why membership would be attractive to many. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bkk6060 Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 It is a high end club experience maybe the best in the country. It is not bad at all compared to Southern California private memberships.( all relative I know) Playing 3 times a week will total approx. $750 a month including the caddie tip. Add drinks and food from time to time. They do and probably will raise that 1300 gf at their leisure. The 4 course option is pretty nice. Not a terrible deal if a member was always here, healthy and enjoys playing a lot of golf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Golf in UK is very good value, my course cost about the same as yours. Thailand 10x more expensive. People can decide whether its worth it here, I don't think it is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once golf restarts are you suggesting people won't come and play? PS - and what has any of that got to do with Siam membership....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Golf bars generally are only busy on the days they organise golf. Golf courses only closed today. Tourist numbers are near zero so golf bars along with other bars will probably be making a loss so it depends how much of a cash buffer they have got, i guess not much. This could go on for months, vans full or golfers and presentations won't happen. Not looking good, but it's the same all over the world, governments have killed the economies 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazy closing golf courses, such a low risk, they are just killing another industry, I've already had a caddy posting her and her son will starve.

darrenr Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 I know this is off topic, but are there my affordable golf clubs, my club in Australia charges 1100 AUD per year and you can play as much as you want you can walk around with golf buggy and don’t have to pay compulsory caddy and motorised cart fee ? are any of the neighbouring countries any cheaper , want to retire to SEA OR South America with my retirement consisting of playing golf 3-4 times per weeks, at Thailand prices don’t think it’s affordable ? many thanks i remember a nice club in phichai district in uttaradit can’t remember the name Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Schuler Posted September 30, 2023 Share Posted September 30, 2023 Hello perhaps this is a late reply.

We have ‘membership’ well actually it’s a share which we can sell. Up to this year we only had to pay for the caddie but now we also have to pay 100baht as well. There are several brokers …just google ‘buy golf club membership in Thailand’…. who will buy and sell golf club memberships. About 15/16 years ago we each paid 370,000baht for the share and now I see brokers buy/sell at 350k/400k. We try to play three times a week. Nearly all golf courses require you to have a caddie. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
