As a member for over 7 months now, I can tell you that their customer service is very good, the course selection is absolutely amazing (to me at least), and the events that they host are truly unique.  The OC is a special opportunity, and I recommend it to anyone who is looking to play significant "GCA" courses across the country and beyond.

Yes, it's really great.  You pay less than one tenth of what I invested, and you get to play all the same courses I am a member of.  Oh, and you get to play a few others as well.

If you travel a lot outpost provides amazing opportunity.  The key is making time to Take advantage.  The home course Chechessee is just fantastic.  Very quiet looking but a devil of a treat to play.  Hospitality at the 2 venues I've been to has been great.  Both C &C btw.

Outpost is one of the great stories in golf over the last year. Many of the courses and architects are discussed on this board regularly. If you wanted to join the clubs directly it would cost well over a million dollars. Credit should be given to the three founding partners who were able to put this together successfully during a difficult time in the golf business.

It's quite secretive...I went to the site and found that even the photo gallery is user-protected.  If that's what it takes to keep it successful, onward.

I was wondering the same thing as their address is Maumee, OH which is just outside of Toledo, OH.

Seems like a great success although it will definitely hurt clubs trying to sell national memberships.

The Outpost Club will only be as strong as it's weakest member. This thread is the beginning of the end. Please have it deleted before it is too late.

Perhaps the concept of National memberships being only open to the limited few of high level finances is not really the answer then?

Open for discussion...the Outpost Club concept appears to make much beeter sense, more people at a lesser price,with the  reasonable knowledge that everybody wont be there at the same time to make the course too busy...

The most interesting thing about the Outpost Club is that up to a few days ago, its existence had never been mentioned on this website

The weakness of national memberships is the length of time before members do not want to travel for hours and hours to play the same course all the time. Money becomes less of an issue if you are travelling 5 hours or more to get to your club.

Really?  I recall it being asked about and discussed more than a few times over the past year.

Interesting. Those threads got little traction. Any time such a seemingly attractive concept goes with little discussion on the board, my radar detects a torrent of back channel discussion

Geoff Walsh, don't worry about the guys in shades driving the suburban that will be following you for the rest of the day, it has nothing to do with starting this thread.
