What are the extra costs?

An additional cost you should consider is for private lessons that are available at the club. The official website states that you will spend between $100 and $200 per session for individual instruction with the PGA Director of Golf, and only half of this number, or about $50 to $100 if you choose to work with an assistant golf professional.

As a guest, you will spend $45 per nine hole game in green fees, or $90 per 18 holes.

Club fittings are also available, but these too cost additionally, anywhere between $60 and $140 per wedge, iron, or driver set. These costs will ultimately depend on whether the clubs are purchased from the golf course shop or somewhere else.

Golfers can also take advantage of club storage for a fee, as it isn’t included in the features of most membership plans.
