So there's a slight change in plans. I don't want to derail the thread too much but since it's about Golf I will post here.
On Friday we get to Kelowna likely later in the day so will just in Kelowna. Saturday morning will book at Tower Ranch and be done by 2-3 to enjoy rest of the day in Kelowna. Now for Sunday since we are heading back, I am thinking stopping by at a course somewhere in between the drive back to Edmonton from Kelowna. Say something perhaps along the half way mark. Thinking about heading back on Sunday in a timely manner, then stopping on the way to whatever course that sort of falls half way, play a round of 18 holes and then continue back towards Edmonton. Since it'll only be half the drive, it shouldn't be that bad. Any suggestions for 'must-see' courses on the drive back between Kelowna and Edmonton? Also remember, we are all more or less rookies, so preferably nothing that's a super difficult course.
TIA!
Take the really long road home and play Jasper Park Lodge?
That's the Fairmont one? We were actually thinking of just going there first instead of Kelowna but I decided latter is better, but for a round it's definitely an option. Not sure how much driving time that will add heading back though so if it's significant, I am guessing that's gonna be a no go for the rest of the peeps.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member.

Yea, I would probably just go there when you are back in Edmonton. Shorter drive from Edmonton.
You could play Banff Springs though. Make sure to play the old course/18. That's not too far out of the way. Silvertip has great views, but the golf is gimmicky. Kananaskis is probably too far out of the way for you and would add an hour or so of driving.
I just wouldn’t golf.
Bought a new driver, first in like 10 years.
Got the new Callaway Epic Speed, Smoke stiff shaft, & a jumbo grip by Dritac..
Can’t wait to try out on the course.
Drivers have changed a ton in 10 years, if it was fit properly for you, it's almost guaranteed to change your game for the better.
I had modern shafts in my old driver head, but the tech on the head was old school.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
I’m sure I will need to tweak this new driver, but all the adjustments available now are awesome. So easy to adjust loft, draw, etc.
Doesn’t look like there is a 2021 thread.
Anyone have best ideas for a kind of dark horse cheap membership course these days? Doesn’t have to be a great course.
I have a buddy who is dead set on getting one for next year but paying 3k+ a year just isn’t going to be an option for him.
I’ve heard playership has dropped off a lot in the last few years so figured I’d poll the crowd on options.

Where did you hear that player ship has dropped? Maybe 2 years ago. Right now it’s crazy.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
I guess I’m not that current on things.
I’ve played 3 rounds in 24 months.

Should be able to find some sub $3000 membership for a year. Maybe elbow springs or somewhere.
ES was one of the ones that came to mind. Had a buddy say $2,400 or so there.

Elbow is it. Under 35 can get an intermediate annual at my club (Pinebrook) for ~3k, but demand > supply right now so we didn’t let anyone new this year that didn’t play last year (this is the first year this has happened in the 8 years I’ve been there).
Demand for golf is though the roof. My other point of reference is our equity shares sold as low as 22k last year, and the last one sold a couple weeks ago for ~52k.

PB intermediate is equity or equity lite I assume?

Intermediate is no equity, just an annual pass with slightly limited playing privileges. There’s two types of intermediate, depending on if your family has a share or not… if you aren’t a members child, your dues are an extra $500 which gets banked towards the activation fee if you purchase a share one day.
Weird, 2-4 years ago golf was an old mans game and equity memberships were being given away. Interesting to see what happens once people can travel again and if the demand stays.
Given away? At Bearspaw maybe
Did the Winston ever get thier shit figured out with the old guys and the new clubhouse money?
