Fellow Golfers,
The Proposed Fees for Castlemartyr Golf Resort 2018 are as follows:
Gents: Full €1,100 before 31st December €1,250 after January 1st
Gents 5 Day €700 before 31st December €900after January 1st
Seniors €800 before 31st December €900 after January 1st
Now the €100 for the clubhouse is also being withdrawn and is now included as part of the membership fee, this is not going to encourage any member to use or promote the facility.
This equates to over 20% increase in fees alone
The belief within the club now is that there is going to be a large loss of members and both club and facility are going to suffer because of the reduced revenue within the golfing complex.
As the members club has grown in strength over the past few years they and have always been proud and 100% in supporting and promoting the resort. A lot of hard work, hours of voluntary time and dedication has been put in to get the club to where it is today, however the all that is being put into jeopardy by fully paid employees with no thought process behind this fee increase.
We must minimise any damage to our club, as it appears suggestions are being ignored or falling on deaf ears.
Please support this petition in our quest to save our club.
Yours in Golf

Seeing this level of support confirms that our community will not sit back while our club is pushed toward ruin. This momentum proves that our collective dedication to the course remains stronger than any thoughtless management decision.

Very disappointed,as a new member it was my understanding that fees would remain at this rate for 2 year's.
Very disappointed to see the fess being increased and concerned that this will drive new members way, thus reducng the funds available for development of the course which has not happened although it has been discussed and prominsed but no action from the new owners. Can't see any justification for an increase in current environment and forcing members to pay before Dec 31st is slight of hand to try and divided the club.
Joined last year and, while I've really enjoyed the experience, the lack of investment in the course is a real concern. I was led to believe that there were significant improvements planned and this was one of the reasons I joined. I'm very disappointed with the price increase without any justification.
Very disappointed to hear of the proposed increase in fees and the loss of the €100 voucher. In my opinion a small increase in fees can be justified but a 25% increase is totally unjustified.
A summer course, worth it at current rates, off fairway in winter (7 months!) is a disaster. Not a penny more, feel cheated that we were sucked in when you needed the funds. 450 signatures should be easy.
As a past member and newly rejoined member the last 6 months this petition do not represent me !!!! The increase that came to next years Sub " is not that harsh compared too only golf clubs around the city ' I will fully support the club as I am and always made feel very welcome there on any day I play there " since coming back I can see huge improvements are being made too get the course back too the way it was when opened!!! For years before it was bought" Nama only took money out of the place nothing ever going back into it !! Until now with the new owners " and members should realise this !!!! I see a lot of bad comments on this petition " but it will come down to personal choice " so the front gate is always open if members think there being hard done buy "and there's plenty waiting too join that' club !! So best of luck with this petition because it will only fall on deaf ears !!!!
As a member did not receive e/mail referred to. 12/11/2017. from Noel Foley and am unaware of the clubs approach. Increase dissapointing. Removing bar voucher from sub, bad idea for cube. Deal breaker for me will be non arrival of constantly promised computerised booking system.

Very disappointing news...Frustrating enough that we are still waiting for the online booking and its obvious there is a drainage problem on parts of the course which remain ignored despite all the extra revenue from the new members in the last year.
