Because that's the membership terms when you joined. check back the contract.

Also, cannot just simply transfer membership to others.

Same like time share membership.
Once you're in, there is no exit.
Once they have your money, they don't care about you.
Being a non-member gets you better service than being a member.

In conclusion: never join membership

Wanna transfer also cost so much higher than the yearly fee...

Why need to cancel if company's name? Can always bring customers to eat and drink at club house and play golf. Later customer agree to give contract millions of RM.

That's how they make money, and last time the economy was better or didn't have those gym/swimming facilities, so they get this kind of membership. But now fewer people play golf, and many condos have great facilities.

I'm stuck with Bukit Jalil (excluding Golf)... which dk what to do with it. Just pay every year and didnt go.

why in Msia need to join expensive golf clubs?

In australia, people play golf like badminton, its a poor man's sports, I see so many public golf courses in Msia.

When I went there to study, my house mate so happy every day play golf because he told me public golf course there charge like $10 just to play.

Well there's and adage that say
"Not only that I must succeed, but to have everybody else must fails"

If no pit up barrier, how to be seen as better than others

Plus, maintenance can be costly

The more dangerous thing is word of mouth
May used decades to build up reputations
But only need a single incident to bring it all down

The one dealing these stuff is just worker nia
If the company MD take up the risk, may as well eff them off

But so far, no worker is wanting to take the risk

if you are frequent in that golf club together with your golf mates then it MIGHT worth getting it. the golf fees will be very low if not free.
eg. saujana golf course need rm700 per month but you get to play for free

golf membership is like condo coz you need to pay maintenance fee lol

It's actually pretty common with all other sports clubs on the island such as CRC, CSC & PSC. You want out, find someone else to carry your baggage but usually these clubs have a notice board of sort to let you advertise your intention to offload the membership.

PGC is quite open so just drop by, look around & see if there's such a board there. The club is quite delapidated though & IINM, it's currently owned by Japanese owner.

Ts, just a heads up unless the membership is in very high demand with long waiting list.

The company shouldn't expect to get back the full membership fee from selling. If can get 2/3 will be considered very good.

I remember when selling both mine and my dad i got maybe 1/3 non golf while my dad got half

Main objective after all is just to get rid of the membership and avoid paying monthly fees especially when every year the club for me will increase fee.

Your name will get published on the club's announcement board under non payee list of members.

While some may consider it small matter but like ts mentioned, you susah payah build up reputation some more membership is under company's name.

The last thing u want is to let such a trivial matter cost u business opportunities.

Sorry didn't notice your post, unfortunately this is how the clubs operate. No way to cancel only transfer membership.

Only consolation is that by transferring you can recover some of the membership fees.
