A few months ago I found myself tired, and burnt-out. I phoned my best friend and organised to spend some time with him and his family. Everyone should have a good buddy that lifts them up!
Within hours of landing at the airport, I was whisked away to the premier golf resort in the country: Pinnacle Point, near Mossel Bay, South Africa. Players from around the world consistently vote it the most spectacular golf course internationally.
We played two rounds of 18 holes of golf a day, and did not pay one cent for green fees. How is this possible, when the normal fee for anyone staying there is around $115 for one round?
Here is the answer: my friend owns timeshare with golf resort options.
But wait a moment you say, the more I visit YouTube and read articles, I see a plethora of disillusioned people speaking out against timeshare! You might be right, but I am not one to knock something for the sake of doing so. I do feel that if you have around $50 000 for a top week, you stand a good chance of being able to visit golf resorts around the world and enjoy the game without the fees.
But then you have only one week. And you will be paying monthly maintenance fees and annual fees on top of this. You don't have the money up front? Don't worry about money, they tell you at the timeshare presentation when they have your back up against the wall, we'll finance it. Yes, they do, but at around 17 per cent, which is horrendous even for countries with questionable economies! When you come to swap, you pay to upgrade, pay a booking fee, and the swap itself is often not to your liking because school holidays differ entirely from country to country.
Many problems. What if I told you, you could sidestep all of these major disadvantages. Would you be interested?
There is a way to play at many resorts around the world, with a lifetime membership that is a fraction of any timeshare cost. And this option does away with every single one of the major disadvantages I mentioned above: every one. You have access to 5000 resorts worldwide, all year round. That's right, not just one week. And you will pay no annual fees or levy, ever.
Stop right now is you're thinking about buying timeshare. There is an alternative that everyone is talking about and that many people have been waiting for.
You can guess what my friend did once he researched the facts. We're now planning a trip to North America and know that we can play every single day without paying any green fees.
