The Kalamazoo Golfer’s Guide: Choosing a Golf Pass vs. a Crestview Membership
Are You Getting the Best Golf Value for Your Investment?
As the 2026 season approaches, many local golfers are weighing their options: Should I purchase a golf pass at a municipal course, or commit to a full-access membership? For those living within a 10-mile radius of Crestview Golf Club, the choice is clearer than ever, especially with our special 60th Anniversary Pricing under NEW OWNERSHIP!
The Golf Pass Dlimena
A crucial factor often overlooked when comparing membership value is the hidden cost of convenience fees charged by third-party online booking portals like GolfNow or Groupon.
While these sites may occasionally offer a limited “Hot Deal,” they typically charge a non-refundable convenience fee on every single transaction, often between $2.49 and $3.49 per player, per tee time. If you use one of these services to book your round every week of the season—playing once a week for the full 25 weeks—that mandatory service fee alone would cost you between $60 and $80 annually, even before you factor in the green fees!
Understanding Your Membership Options at Crestview
Choosing our integrated ForeUp online portal ensures you always get our best rate and avoid those hidden third-party fees, making your golf membership not only cost-consistent but also free from the constant nickel-and-diming associated with external booking services.
In celebration of our 60th Anniversary and new ownership, we’ve got Founder’s Pricing through February 28, 2026. And, choosing a membership over paying daily fees means locking in your costs and maximizing your value.
- 60th Anniversary Couple – $1965
- 60th Anniversary Individual Membership – $600
That’s a great deal for unlimited greens fees, carts, no blackouts, and driving range tokens! But maybe you’re still skeptical?
The Cost Showdown
Let’s break it down for you. If you are a VERY occasional golfer and you play 25 times a year in and around Kalamazoo, you pay an average of $45 per round plus a $3 booking fee using an app. That breaks down:
- Total Green Fees & Carts: 25 rounds $1,125
- Hidden Booking Fees: 25 rounds $75
- Total Annual Cost for 1 Person: $1,200
- Total Annual Cost for 2 People: $2,400
And that’s only playing 25 times throughout the entire Michigan golf season! See the difference?
