Why would a golfer select an annual dues membership oppose the deposit based options that Evergreen provides?
It comes down to how many rounds per season a member/golfer expects to play at his/her home club. Several years ago we developed the 40 round rule; simply translated … golfer/ members who play more than 40 rounds a season at his/her home club usually get a better ROI on a fixed rate option. Those playing fewer than 40 home club rounds in a season do better with one of the deposit options. Through the years many CandiaOaks members have moved between the traditional fixed rate dues platform and the Evergreen deposit option … we want all of our members to receive the best value from their club membership investment.
How does a CandiaOaks Evergreen member track their account?

What is the disposition at season end of the remaining balance in an Evergreen member’s account?
There are two options: (1) if an Evergreen member chooses to return for the ensuing season their balance is carried forward and added to the ensuing year’s initial deposit; or (2) if an Evergreen member chooses NOT to return their full remaining balance may be exchanged for a CandiaOaks gift card… there is absolutely NO RISK.
