I guess that my biggest reason for joining a club is that is where my friends golf. I can arrange regular weekly tee times and play for bragging rights. That to me is the big advantage of joining a club meeting the people and finding golfing buddies. The other is the ability to go out at off hours play 4 or 5 holes work on my game while my 2 year old tears up my golf cart.

I also do not find it boring to golf at the same place each week. In fact if you are attempting to try and get better at your course management skills it can be a positive. since you know the course, and can experiment on diferent scoring approaches. Now there are courses where I believe I would get board pretty fast playing everyday but the key is to find one that is challenging enough for your skill level and you enjoy.
