Brandywine CC(Tull,1947) in Wilmington, DE goes semi private....and others
« on: June 21, 2010, 08:30:07 PM »
Anmother "historically Jewish" club with declining membership opts for non-member play to generate cash flow. It's not a top tier club but it was recently renovated by someone. I think I'll give it a shot:

Nicely priced..

Unfortunately, their website demonstrates what I most dislike about the business of today's private club - the element that sees a club as a wedding factory and puts golf 2nd or even 3rd.  

I wonder how successful a private, "golf only" club with minimal frills would do..

Thanks for the info, Steve :)

Steve,

Is all of Delaware opening up to public play?   That's great...can't wait to get the next available tee-time at Bidermann!   ;)  ;D

Mike,

I don't think Fieldstone and Wilmington CC are open to the public either.  ;D
