Thoughts on Beau Chene?

My dad has been a member at BC for over 30 years. I grew up there and actually played with him this morning. The best thing about Beau Chene is having 2 courses. 2 putting greens and a driving range for practice but the practice area is nothing special.

They had a really good greenskeeper that left recently but everyone seems to like what the new guy is doing. Played the Mag course this morning and greens were in really good shape. Very fast and smooth. I wouldn't say the course was in amazing shape but it was pretty solid


The pros of having 2 courses makes it the best option in the area in my opinion.


I really am not sure of the dues. Also think it is different if you don't live in Beau Chene. I know a few times in the recent they have been waving the cost to join. Not sure if that is currently what they are doing. Let me know if you have any questions. I spent many hours of my life at the pool and golf course.

Yeah for some reason the number 350 was in my head for monthly dues. So that’s probably right with the 300-350 range.

Also the club food is pretty good

Let me know what numbers they give you. I've been wanting the pull the trigger out there, but $7,500 is a bit much.

i'm over 40 and married with kids........so my options when i joined in march were

$5,000 fee, $345 or $375'ish\mo
$1,000 fee, $480'ish\mo (if you choose this option, in 5 years your monthly drops to the lower monthly rate).

i lived in beau chene for over a year before i joined. felt like the fees were high.......but i was driving all over playing other places.......now that i've joined, it was a wise investment. very convenient to walk 9 or 18 anytime i want on either course.

both courses closed every monday, and they alternate on which one is closed on tuesday.....although there's been a lot of tournaments on mondays lately. i live on the oak, seems like they use that one for tourneys more.

With 36 championship holes of golf, 2 putting and chipping greens, driving range, swimming complex, 10 tennis courts (2 of which are indoors) and fitness facility offering group classes, as well as childcare, there is something for everyone in the family to enjoy.
The clubhouse features 2 restaurants: Morgan’s offers a more upscale environment while the Oak Grill is for a more casual feel. There are regular and special dining and social events, as well as holiday and special event celebrations, held year round for our members.

I hope to be joining you out there next year. Just depends on when my wife will finally let me take my money and my balls out of her purse and let us join. I like my odds though. Should happen in about 30 years I’m sure.

My wife and I ran out there a moment ago and I joined. Should be official tomorrow. Michelle showed us around and was very friendly. She signed us up under my wife's name so I get 4 extra years on the Birdie plan which was a cool thing to do.

keep an eye on your account\charges..........i walk 9 often after work and i see the cart charge for it pop up frequently.....and the beer cart charges for a coke and snicker hit my account a few times (beer only is what i get and no one in my house plays or charges anything). all that to say, anytime i've had any charge account issues, Michelle is very helpful in getting them removed for me.

in their defense, since the COVID, check-ins are typically done out back and its handwritten. so someone is writing down your member #, name, # of holes and a W for walk or the cart #. pretty straight forward, but since they've started this process is when i've noticed the discrepancies.

heading out in about an hour to walk 18 on the oak! congrats and welcome.
