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 |

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.

Yes, nowadays can only direct sell or transfer membership to others. Cannot sell back to the club, few years back my father also loss interest in golf and luckily few Korean guys interested and quickly sell to 1 of them.

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.
