A Day of Savings at Poppy Hills

Scott Seward — Wed, 11 Jan 2012 16:35:48 +0000

From the moment NCGA members exit Highway 1, the savings start to add up.

Just one round at the members’ course in golf’s most prestigious zip code (93953) can more then justify the investment in membership.

The savings start at the gate to 17-Mile Drive, where the $9.50 fee is waived for NCGA members with a starting time at Poppy Hills. Did you skip breakfast before you made the trek? Your membership saves you 10% in the restaurant, excluding alcohol.

Your next stop on the path to the first tee pays for your membership by itself. The $73 you pay for your round and golf cart on a weekday saves you $145 (and it’s important to note that the $203 public green fee is, by far, the lowest in the Del Monte Forest).

After your round, you might want to stock up on balls, a shirt or even a new wedge to replace the one you chucked into the woods after chili-dipping a chip shot. You’ll save 20% on these purchases. You say you broke your driver? Schedule a complimentary club fitting session to ensure your new driver (less 20%) is the perfect fit for you.

Say you shot a score that, to be polite, failed to threaten Matt Gogel’s course-record 62. Your membership will help you here too for Poppy Hills, and many other courses that are part of the NCGA Member Advantage, offers a regular schedule of complimentary clinics on a variety of topics April-September.

So even if you play once a year at Poppy Hills, money is staying in your pocket, making an investment in NCGA membership the best value in the game.
