Which golf handicap club have the most reward & perks.

Golf buddy, golf kaki, golf.sg and etc??
Also benefit to new golfer.. To find more kaki!

I m also looking for one as my current company Big3golf has been taken over by Singa golf and been wanting to transfer (membership expires 29 May 2014) to Golfbuddy network as they seems to offer better local green rates.

I usually play local courses to save time on traveling and does not own any club membership.

Can anyone here advise?

I am currently maintain my membership with Golf Allianze.

Their membership fee is quite competitive, about $150 per year, with loyalty discount for membership renewal.

It also has some tournament event and offers some good rate for local course.  

The only problem is their website is not regularly maintained .... so for some local golf rate you will see valid till "31 Dec 2013" and still not updated till now.  call them for booking sometimes nobody answered the call.

I do not know about other clubs ...  any kaki to share 

Thanks.

May I know which one is the cheapest? Do not need any perks.. Just need to maintain my annual handicap

@modthing - i think MGK is not bad. They are having a promo this month. Freebies can outset quite a bit off the membership fee esp. the 3 yr membership offer.
Can maintain Hcp and also play OCC at $82.50 on weekdays.

Beehome@

I prefer to roam ard instead of playing the same course that's y was checking out which hcp company offers more peaks for local courses.

To be frank, to be a MGK member one must be a NTUC member then can join MGK thus it costs relatively more than regular company charging $150-$180 annually for hcp maintainance.

Anyone from golfbuddy or golf allianze can share their local peaks?

golf kaki is good for those who plays in OCC...
and i heard that safra card can also maintain golf handicap.. not sure if need to top up for golf club,
but safra membership is on offer now..40 bucks for 2 yrs.. and the golf club is 50-ish per yr...

Golfbuddy is gd for local courses perks, subscription on the higher side though. I played at warren, raffles, Keppel with my fren using his golfbuddy member perks

found this site, quite informative on golf handicap fee...

Hi Willy, is it necessary tt we need to transfer to another club? Lets say we join another club, we need to go to the old club and make the transfer? What if its a golf n country club like Occ or Jcc? Still need to go bck to Big3golf to transfer? Or just let the new club know since we join a new club. I am quite lost in this transfer thingy. Thx.

Bro,

If you wanna switch company to maintain ur hcp, then u have to request "transfer" of ur hcp to the new company. Just need to drop ur company a email stating which company u like to transfer to.

Guess I will still renew with Golf Allianze.  Just called them--they will give me 20% off for renewal, so it will be $120 only     

Not so interested in MGK, still consider expensive (as you need to be an NTUC member, that membership itself already costs more than $110--of course if u r already NTUC member then there wil be no incremental cost to you) and very limited benefits (better rate at OCC only, but I wanna try different courses) ...  some kakis mentioned MGK's had golf insurance, but please do take into note that the complimentary golf insurance is not very good, for equipment damage it only covers loss beyond $250, unless you top up more money for a better plan.  and also bear in mind you can get good golf insurance at cheap rate eleswhere 

Golf Allianze has promotional rates for a few local golf courses, already requested them to send me the latest list ...  keke ...

I was with Golf Allianze, now trying out Changi Golf Club.
S$588 per year, comes with 8 9holes vouchers.
Maintains handicap, insurance and each 18holes at $40.
No monthly subscription.

A couple of hundreds more but gives me a home club to practise often.
Sembawang Country Club is a reciprocal club of theirs.

If I am not wrong, this deal was around there quite some time ago.  Last year they already had.

Those $40 game can only be played on weekdays, so i wont have many chance to use them. and i think i will be bored if i played there for a few times (as you probably know, its 18-hole is actually 9-hole x 2).

Thanks for the update! 

Only concerns now for me is the amount of coverage for insurance and the SGM-designated Sundays (how many a month).

Else, I think good to go!

You have a potential kaki in me!

Hi DKing, if you don't mind.. can help to check how much is the renewal fee after 1st year?
thank you.

S$588 per year, every year, as of now.
But I suppose it will rise as of all things.
