Dear Members and Friends:
2015 is well on its way now and everyone here at the golf course wishes you a Happy New Year and an even happier golf season. We can start your day off by telling you that there will be no increase in golf membership fees for 2015!
Recently, we are tending to see a slight decrease in Golf Memberships due to several reasons. The decline in Junior Golf Members is a concern, not only for our club but for Golf Clubs nationwide. We have introduced a few changes and incentives to try to help grow our Golf Memberships, not only benefitting our Club, but also you, our loyal golf members!
FIND A NEW MEMBER
In 2015, when you bring a new Golf Member in to join the Club, you and your friend will each receive a credit to your Club account to use in the ProShop, or Bar or Kitchen! The following are the credits that you and your friend (the new golf member) will receive when you Refer-a-Friend:
| Membership Category | Your $ Credit | New Member $ Credit |
| Full-time student - Junior (ages 17 and under) | $25 | $25 |
| Full-time student - Adult (ages 18 to 24) | $30 | $30 |
| Intermediate (ages 18 to 24) | $35 | $35 |
| Intermediate (ages 25 to 29) | $45 | $45 |
| Individual - Weekday | $50 | $50 |
| Individual - Anytime | $75 | $75 |
| Couple - Weekday | $75 | $75 |
| Couple - Anytime | $100 | $100 |
- Offer is unlimited (ex: four [4] new individual members = $400 credit)
- New member must not have been a member in 2013 or 2014
- Discount does not apply to spousal one-time membership
- New member must mention your name at time of purchase
Be sure to let your friends know!
JUNIOR GOLFERS 10 AND UNDER: PLAY FOR FREE!
New for 2015, any junior golfer aged 10 and under plays FREE with a parent or grandparent who have purchased an adult membership!
Eligible to play: Weekdays and Weekends after 11am with member
JUNIOR GOLF LEAGUE
A brand new golf league for girls and boys starts this summer at the St. Marys Golf & Country Club. We are creating a league for juniors (just like our men's or ladies leagues). The Junior Golf League will begin June 29th and run one day a week for 10 weeks. Skill level is not a concern and junior golfers age 7 to 18 are welcome. Each girl or boy will be placed on a team, with the chance to win fun, weekly prizes!
Cost to Join the Junior Golf League:
| Category | Cost |
| Juniors who want to play in this league only (10 weeks) | $125 |
| Juniors who participate in our Junior Golf Camp and play in this league only (10 weeks) | $100 |
| Juniors 10-and-under who have joined with a parent or grandparent | $75 |
| Full-time Junior Member or Junior Family Member | FREE! |
We hope everyone can benefit with these new incentives, particularly young golfers. They are the future!
