Q: Problems with wifi connection

I have an iPhone 6S+ which has no issues logging in to my home wifi network (password protected) and my office network (unsecured).  But I have issues when I visit the golf club every weekend with the parents.  Their wifi network is password protected and the password changes monthly.

 

I always make sure I have the updated password when I log in.  I was previously using Samsung Note 3 and Note Edge and had no issues with the golf club's wifi.  Once connected I had internet access all the time.  With the 6S+ I am able to log in to the network.  The wifi icon is there and it states the network name.  I have internet connection initially but usually by the time lunch is half way through, I lose my internet connection.

 

The wifi icon is still there though and it states I'm connected to the network.  Just that nothing works.  I can't browse, I can't email, FB, Instagram, etc.  Sometimes I get the phone to forget the network and then detect the network again.  That works at times.  Sometimes I have to forget and re-detect MANY times before it works.  Once I wasn't even able to get any internet connection at all the minute I entered the lobby.

 

The club's IT staff suggested I clear my password keychain however I don't even use the keychain so there is nothing to clear.  They then suggested I reset my network settings but doing this each time I go to the club is ridiculous. 

 

Since I had no issues with Samsung phones, I would assume its either something in the iPhone's settings or the club's hardware settings.  If its the latter there's obviously not much I can do, but I'm just wondering if its the phone's settings?

 

Anyone else faced a similar issue?
