  • EX Clublink members corner

    Just wondering what all you ex Clublink members are doing for golf these days.

    Please guys and gals nothing rude.

    Was a member of clublink for over 12 years and decided to move to a private club in Cambridge three years ago. Has worked out great so far (overall much less expensive) but still miss some of the clublink clubs I used to play quite frequently. Don't have any regrets though.

      Was a member for 3 years when I lived in Ottawa. Great model for those who play frequently and like to vary the courses they play.

      Too expensive in the GTA and there was no club local to KW, so I left.

        I find this to be a curious statement. If too expensive based on your situation don't join and look for alternatives.

            What does the cost really have to do with it? There's no local club which is the underlying issue.

              I'm pretty sure he is a member at Galt, not Cambridge.

              Bit of a difference between the two.

                    Have been a member twice in the last ten years. I do miss the courses (Wyndance especially), but found that the tee access was almost always difficult. I like to unwind after work late in the evening with some solo golf. At Clublink, even at like 6pm, I found I would still get forced out into a foursome. I don't feel like making small talk after a long day. I have joined a few other private clubs, but found that the price was similar and that being limited to the single course got pretty dull. Also, tee sheet access at most private clubs can be pretty terrible late in the day as well.

                    In all honesty, I have joined some public courses out in the far east end and have enjoyed the overall experience more. No one pays to play golf at like 6:15 at most public places, so other than a few other scattered loners like myself, I can have the place to myself and play nine holes in just over an hour. Much closer to pure happiness than jammed tee sheets and forced socializing at Clublink.

                        So, negatives so far have come from people who don't live in Toronto.
                        As someone who lives in Toronto and can squeeze in a few rounds, it's a good value. If I lived in Durham or Cambridge I wouldn't join based on the price, there are simply too many cheaper options.

                        I love the ability to play in Ottawa and Montreal are too. Florida is OK, but no real value unless you spend a season down there.

                          There sure does, and it's usually the guy that doesn't think it's them.

                            I was an intermediate member for 7 years and left quite easily once rates started going up because, as has been mentioned, I found the value took a nosedive exponentially with each year after I turned 26 and I live in Toronto.

                            I actually don't mind the courses and conditions overall at all have gotten better since I left. That said, how much I pay for golf matters to me and I feel I could find just as good or better golf for less as a public player.

                            Finally, being that I play during the week, I found public courses much less crowded weekday than Clublink ever was.

                              Not sure what kind of luck you are running with but I never had this happen to me. Many times this year I would show up around 6:30 at KR, DB, SC, EH and have no problem going out as a single or pairing up with a couple others as good company. Hope things continue to work for you too.

                              Cheers
