		<description><![CDATA[I think it&#039;s around $2,500 annual fee for golf only, no initiation. This compared to $2,000 for Port Royal. Like someone said below, basically it is now a public course. I feel for the original members who had to fork over something like $100k in initiation fees.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[TPC continues to make epic failures year after year!  Their marketing staff needs to be fired or at least forced to enroll in a Demographics For Dummies class.  Membership at clubs like this is not meant for everyone.  Sorry, but there are many Bermudians and Expats who studied hard, got educated, got experience and thus make more money than the rest of us.  They are the demographic that private clubs should be marketing to.  Sadly for TPC, instead of imposing minimums on this group (who could afford them and would prefer to have them), they lowered prices and in doing so CHEAPENED the product.  This wealthy demographic doesn&#039;t want to be a part of this cheapened product, nor do they want to be enjoyng their private club and have their staff and his family plunk down on the sand next to him.  Sorry, sad truth but truth nonetheless.  So why does TPC continue to sh*t on the demographic that they want to attract?  Good question!  Loyal members are leavig TPC and takig their money with them.  Epic fail,TPC.  Epic.  RIP TPC.]]></description>

Next, TP changed the land use plan and got permission for more building and thus more sales. That is not panning out.

Now, TP invites locals to join up. With a local population that has declined since TP first started selling, that won&#039;t pan out.

Is TP in or nearing the final stages of its slow slide to ... ?]]></description>
