The golf package gives you free greens fees for 4 players each of the seven days your there. You do pay cart fees which average $35. per person per round. You also receive 1 free hour of tennis for 4 X 7 days on several high end courts.

When my golf friends come to visit, they co-op rent (with wives) at $50./night for a master suite. But they save $45. in greens fees. We play a lot of golf and it works out well for everybody.

Slow reply to a question------

Week 9 Waterside---- $745.

11 Waterside----$591.

15 Cottages-----$724.

15 Waterside----$763.

33 Waterside----$ 591.

44 Southwind Vil. $794.

45 Cottages------$794.

51 Waterside-----$745.

These MF's HAVE ALL BEEN PAID FOR 2015. If you are interested in owning any of these weeks---- I suggest you rent from me --this year--for the cost of MF's. Then you can better deside if you want it---you will have the option to buy toward the end of the year.

Sound like a plan ??

I recall that for Waterside, (at least 8 years ago) the golf package only transferred for free from original purchaser to the 1st resale purchaser, after that, there used to be a hefty fee.

I purchased resale in 2010 and had the same question at the time. When I called Spinnaker I was told to contact a man named Mark Crossley. I am not sure what his position was at the time but he did reply that my ownership at Waterside did come with the golf & tennis package. I have used it 3 times while there without any problem. I know he requested the unit number and week I purchased in order to answer correctly because he wrote that some ownerships come with the golf package at the rate of cart fees only and some did not.

Hope this helps.

I had a discussion with Tom Williams,COO of Southwind MGT.--now retired, in late 2013. The feeling at that time was that instead of paying for the golf package for ALL interval owners, they would negotiate a lower price package that would accomodate only those that played golf and actually used the perk. I don't know what last years arrangement was----but I always had the package for myself and my renters. They would be crazy to drop it.

it's not that they are dropping it, it was the language of the "golf package," which (8 years ago, when I closed on my resale purchase) stated that the golf privileges transferred free to the 1st resale purchaser and then after that there was a hefty fee for transfer to another buyer. I bought from someone who had bought from the developer. So as the 1st resale buyer, my golf package transferred for free. I have no idea if Spinnaker actually enforces that transfer fee to 2nd resale purchasers or if they now just transfer the golf as a matter of course. If you have the golf package, renters and guests get it. RCI exchangers do not get the golf package discounted rates.

Ditto, Elaine. The exact reference you made to the golf package is exactly what I was told when I purchased resale from the original owner. The privileges transferred to me and the ball stops there. :ponder:

Currently still available for Heritage week:

COTTAGES- 2b/2b April 11-18. (week 15) MF's $ 724.00. Rent--$700. (TUG rules).

This is a Sat to Sat. so you will NOT have the full weekend of the tournament. This is why I also have week 16 condos available. Some like the action week and watch the final cut on TV. Others prefer to attend the final two days of Heritage and then stay on Mon./Fri. to play golf/beach/dine/shop.

Week 16--

WATERSIDE- April 18-25 -- 2b/2b --MF's $745. Rent--$700. (TUG rules).

EGRET POINT-- April 18-25. -3b/3b--MF's $812. Rent--$700. (TUG rules).

One of my renters is a PGA official who gave me clubhouse tickets for the whole week. In addition to free greensfees for the week, you can now join me for a few days of the tournament.

Still time for Hilton Head.

Heritage for 2015 is over. What an event it was. Hilton Head is really a special place. If you would like to put HH on your travel list, I would love to help. I still have 7 weeks that you could use this year.

I was astonished to learn that Spinnaker/Southwind can accept or reject my prospective buyer and that they also require my prospective buyer to deposit $1500 into a prepaid maintenance account. I've purchased and sold timeshares on the secondary market a number of times over the years and have never encountered such requirements before. Are such requirements legal?

It is legal in most states. As far as rejecting a potential buyer--- they have a right to screen and reject proven financial dead beats and "viking ship" LLC's who take advantage of a free year and then walk.

Southwind requires a photo copy of your drivers license and a copy of a bill showing your current address for their Certificate of Approvel to the closing company. With Spinnaker, all $1500. goes into your escrow account. They also charge $125. for transfer admin. fees.

Coral Resorts on HH require the same $1500.--but-- $100. is for admin., $400. goes to HOA, and $1000. goes to buyer escrow.

Spinnaker has Royal Floridian in Ormond Beach, Fl. The $1500. is NOT legal in Florida under new Fl. law.
