Re: Golf Destination Club? (by R P.):
In my opinion, there are so many nice timeshare resorts and non-timeshare resorts all over the world that include golf courses (or nearby courses) that I would never consider a high priced destination club even if I had the money. With a destination club you own nothing and you're at the mercy of the owner(s) and/or management (they are the ones getting rich with your initial 6 figure membership fee and your 5 figure yearly maintenance fees). And, there are cases in the past where destination clubs have gone bankrupt ... I would not take the chance of becoming a member. The above makes the cost of timeshare ownership look like peanuts in comparison (even the most expensive timeshare) to a destination club
If I had the money I would definitely find other things to spend it on other than an ultra expensive destination club. One could buy an entire condo or house for what destination club fees are.
