With course lifetime membership available for $40,000 plus.
And membership doesn't even let you play for free, just for a reduced price. Back home I had annual memberahip of a local, very good course for about £1500 a year, this allowed me free access to the course anytime. I'd call in on the way home from work in the summer time for 9 holes a few times a week. And also played nearly every weekend.

Golf is more than twice as expensive here than in UK. I really enjoy it but I just can't justify the expense of playing regularly here.

City Golf in Russey Keo is just $10 per nine holes weekdays and never busy ($15 after noon) ... they do a good job of keeping up the grounds ... 100 on the range balls just $5. I think I read that City Garden has 5-rounds of 18 for $275. Some courses in Pattaya are under $50 for 18. I think the prices will eventually have to come down. Vietnam has about 100 courses with 100 under construction (seems).

City golf can be fun but it's a pitch and putt course. The biggest club you need is an 8 iron - if the wind is against you.
It's not really a good substitute for a big course.

Short game is king … putt to win on Sunday afternoon.
