Liberty National Golf Club in Jersey City, N.J.,�boasts one of the most magnificent views on a golf course. And guess what: As Bloomberg reports, it is�opening its doors to new members with a special half-off deal!
What's the price? We'll get to that. First, think about it: You too can play on a course that's hosted a FedEx Cup playoff stop! You too can share a locker room with Justin Timberlake, Phil Mickelson, Sam Jackson and -- the price? Hang on, friend. Now, imagine teeing off under the watchful gaze of Lady Liberty, and ... all right, all right.
The club has cut its typical $500,000 bond to a $250,000 non-refundable payment, one that can be spread out over a two-year period for the budget-conscious among you. That's pretty steep for most of us, particularly on a course that Tiger Woods once damned with the faint praise of "interesting."
Still, the course has undergone $250 million in renovations to the site, which is located atop a former solid waste landfill. And now, somebody's gotta pay for it. And somebody's gotta play it.
In discussing the course's new look, owner Paul Fireman offered up perhaps the quote of the year so far: "Liberty is not a lady that's just going to say, 'Just take me when you want.' You've got to work for it."
So ... many ... jokes. Have at 'em, friends.
