Being a member gets you some concessions but there are still lots of extra money to be paid for each game of golf.

Even non members can play, paying various fees applicable

Green Fee: This is the amount paid to use the golf course-more like an entry fee- typically costs 5000 INR to 10000 INR depending on golf course, location and other parameters. Those having credit card offers, usually this fee is paid by the bank (Banks would have highly negotiated rates, maybe 1500-2000 INR)

If you walk in and want to play with a bank card offer, keep aside minimum 5000-6000 INR for equipment rental and caddie.
