You may get out on the 18 (lol).
Tell that to the pavilion members of Grange, Milltown, Castle, Edmonstown and all the other similar Dublin "City" clubs. Between them they have thousands of pavilion members.
Personally I'd rather be a pavilion member of a club beside me than a distance member of a club that I never see or can drop into for 12 holes or a bit of practice on a Thursday evening...but each to their own I guess.0 -

Use the search facility please. You'll find membership costs for most dublin and surrounding counties here:

Jaysus, your search facility is amazing. Is it the new google chrome++ which finds things that are not even on the page??

Last pimp post.
For those interested in keeping a GUI handicap PM me for info on a pavilion category that has full playing rights on practice course/ground, restricted times on 18 hole course plus GUI handicap.
Might ease the pain over the summer a little and be easier than distance membership somewhere?
Got 2 of my friends in as Pavillon members last month they are loving it. You can also play the 6 holes as often as you want which have some of the best holes on the course. They are nearly up there every day and given they both work from home get out on the main course once a week for €15.
Greenbo were you at the meeting on Monday- any chance of them lowering our subs?0 -

Hahahahaha:D, uh oh he's ridiculing Greenbo

In relation to pavillion members its a joke in my opinion, the get to play once a week for €15, u could get a lot of decent courses midweek at the moment for that with no annual sub on top of it.
Funnily enough the finance minister ridiculed pavillion membership today in a speech about the referendum using it as a metaphor to how ireland will be treated in the EU if we vote no in the referendum.0 -

See thats what happens when you are too busy ridiculing to pay attention.
Luckycharm said that his friends play once a week, not that thats all pavilions can play.
Sure you could get a lot of decent courses, but you dont have a GUI handicap, have nowhere to practice, no where to meet people socially and dont have the option of becoming a full member at a discount whenever you want...0 -

You also have nowhere to play 18 holes with pavillion membership Greenbo and get looked down upon by full members. Also i'd imagine that in this day and age you could go into a golf club bar and have a drink and some food with the missus without being a member. Or if you want a further aspect if you are friends with a member surely you could drink with them in the bar without being a pavillion member, if golf clubs are still turning these customers away then its madness. 0 -

Well Redzah it also depends where you live as you say there aren't that many Dublin City courses you can easily get into or ones you might want to play often. They used to play some of the other courses for same price but generally involved 40mins to an hour travel each direction and alot of planning with Missus family not being best pleased.
Now he is a pavillion member of a decent course which is 3 mins from his house so he will often just pop out for an hour to play a few holes/practise in the morning or you can play in the evenings. He actually worked it out it is much cheaper for him as well as he used to spend a fortune down the driving range. As I said it does help they both work from home so more flexible then most.
There is something to be said about only being 5/6 mins from the Golf club especially if you live in Dublin. I live 6 mins away 0 -

This is the key. I would rather pay the money than travel an hour, play for 4+ hours and then another hour home once a week. Golf is too expensive to only play one a week, at the moment I can do something down there 3+ times a week, I can leave the house, practice for an hour and be back home in 70 mins.
Poor bugger...3 mins here 0 -

Fair enough, each to their own and differing circumstances dicate views on this. I for one would not be happy with only being able to play 6 holes and use the range or pay €15 but if they have pavillion members then there's clearly a market for it. How is the integration with full members, is there any factions? Do the full members look upon Pavillion members differently and act differently around them? Can pavillion members play on interclub teams? Do they have any competitions i.e. 6 holes 3 times (snore)? Is there separate changing rooms for pavillion members?
Sorry i'm going off topic a bit here but i suppose it is an option for SC members if thats what they're after, just not for me.0 -

Course is 24 holes there are 3 diff courses which integrate some of the 6 holes. You can simply drive out to the 6 holes to play them practise area there as well. Pavillon membership used to rubbish no right no nothing pay for anything it was just used as way to become a Full member as big waiting lists. Now they also have comps on Sat evenings on the main course etc and get GUI membership.
Pavillon members don't wear a big sign or have a special patch to identify themselves as Pavillon members just a badge with member like the rest of us :P Don't really think anyone is too bothered once they pay their subs.
Don't think they can play for the club could do with them as we seem to be rubbish - greenbo will know.
If you live rurally or in a commuter town with loads of courses around you then Pavillion membership prob not a good Idea. If you live in Dublin where there are few good clubs within a short distance and you can be pretty flexible hours wise then it is a good option.
I don't get as good value for Money as Greenbo as I still play lots of other sport but see it as a long term investment for when I am older and play a good bit in the summer.
Greenbo with that much practise no wonder you have won the captains twice I will be expecting to see you up there in the other comps as well 0 -
