Is membership to a golf club rely worth it?

QUESTION:
I know that some clubs may charge $ 1000’s of dollars for a peice of paper and a card saying that you can play on that course for 12 months as much as you like. And play in the weekend comp where you still have to pay a small fee to join.

Why would you pay even $ 500?

Are there any members of golf courses on here who can tell me why they took out membership?

It depends on how often you plan on golfing that year. If you plan on playing a lot, the membership would save you $ in the long run. Plus, most clubs have members-only tournaments and social events.
