Page 5 - GV Member Survey 2019 - Comments by Category

• Social media, of all varieties. Instagram, YouTube, etc.
• Use cell/mobile updates for frost delays and course updates. Emails are too much hassle.
• Set up an Instagram or social media account. Members could tag photos, videos, content to it?

6.Membership
General Comments
• Love the course, love the staff, love the members - eventually hope to move closer to the course.
• I love gorge and promote it whenever I can. Initiate a refer a friend bonus, if you recruit new
member you get credit or discount on dues.
• Just perhaps considering allowing intermediate members to tee off a little before noon on
weekends during winter months/daylight savings. When it gets dark at 4:30 it sometimes makes it
difficult to get a full 18 if we tee off after 12
• I think the intermediate memberships we have at the Gorge are unrivalled in value in Victoria, the
more we can get the word out about it to potential young members in town the better!
• Twilight members should have the same reciprocal privileges and should be able to play 2 hours
earlier during Nov. through March.

Family Membership
Q22. What would attract your family members, if not currently a GV member, to join the club?
• An experimental membership for 1 month where they only pay the monthly due and see what
membership is like before the initiation fee needs to be paid.
• Lower joining fee.
• A family referral benefit.
• My family are members at other locations at this time.
• Price.
• It is likely our son Kane will join.
• Don't have any other family members that golf.
• Discounted family /junior pricing.
• A cheaper fee.
• None in town
• The kids program.
• No family interested in golf.
• Make power carts part of joining, for the ladies.
• Retirement.
• Them being in this city.
• We already have 4 family members there.
• No family.
• Less commitment. To be a full member you need to be an avid golfer. Too pricey if you are just
a beginner.
• Either people/culture or practice facilities.
• Better course conditions to encourage beginner golfers.
• Value.
• My son, 27, is considering an Intermediate membership. It will come down to affordability and
his budget.
• More women members.
