The Eden Club

I was asked if I knew much about The Eden Club.  Other than that it provides access to some excellent, hard-to-access golf courses, I haven't really heard much about it.  Seems to have some similarities to the Outpost Club.  Would appreciate impressions and opinions about the club from well-informed sources.

Lou,
I’ve met a good few Eden Club members. They are mostly wealthy individuals (from all over the world) who want to have a nice base in the St Andrews area. The Club seems to be as much of a holiday destination as a golf one. They don’t have a home course as such, but, given their membership, they obviously have access to upmarket venues worldwide. The Club organises a lot of events at very nice courses which the members really enjoy. Seems like a very sociable, if somewhat rightly exclusive, private setup. Not very frugally Scottish, but each to their own and horses for courses!
Cheers,
F.

Please join, Lou, so I play with you as a guest!

Thanks for the information Marty.  From what I've learned thus far, the club is very upscale, social, and its concierge function may be without peer.  Though I wouldn't be a candidate for membership, I think it is good to know that a wide variety of options exists, even in Scotland!  Golf is, after all, a big world.

Mike Whitaker- you can be my guest any time, not that you need any more hosts.  Since Tom Huckaby has chosen to be a stranger, maybe we should take nominations to replace him as "America's Guest".
