Anyone Know the Cost of Atlanta Country Club Membership?

General Discussion

I’m really interested in joining a country club in Atlanta and was wondering if anyone could provide some insight into the membership costs. Specifically, I would love to know about:

  • Initiation Fees: What were your initial costs when you joined?
  • Monthly Dues: How much should I expect to pay each month?
  • Other Fees: Are there any additional fees or hidden costs I should be aware of?

I’ve done some research online, but I feel like actual experiences from members might give me a clearer picture. If anyone here is a member, or knows someone who is, your feedback would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide!

The Atlanta Country Club offers several membership tiers. The main ones are Social, Golf, and Full Membership. Each tier grants increasing access to facilities and events. Social members enjoy dining and social events, while Golf members get access to the course. Full members access all amenities plus exclusive events.

That’s great information! How much does each tier cost approximately? I heard it varies significantly.

The costs can range quite a bit. Typically, Social memberships can start around $5,000, while Golf memberships may be $10,000 or more. Full Membership is usually the most expensive, often exceeding $20,000, based on the perks associated with it.

Wow, that’s a hefty price! Are there any significant exclusive events for higher-tier members that justify the cost?

Absolutely! Higher-tier members often get invitations to exclusive tournaments, wine tastings, and members-only dining events. For example, the Full Membership may also include family memberships which can save overall costs if you have dependents.

Sounds enticing! But do members feel it’s worth the money? I’m curious about the experiences.

I think it really depends on what you value. If you’re social and enjoy golfing, it might be worth it. Members often speak highly of the community atmosphere and quality of the events.

That sounds great! Does anyone have a funny story or unique experience from a club event?

Oh, totally! At one of the holiday parties, I accidentally spilled my drink all over a fellow member! We ended up laughing about it, and now we have a running joke. It definitely helped break the ice!

11

Haha, that’s hilarious, pjohnson! Sounds like a fun community. But back to the memberships—are there any hidden costs we should be aware of?

Yes, there can be, like initiation fees, monthly dues, and event costs. Always good to read the fine print before diving in! Reflecting, it’s essential to evaluate if the lifestyle matches your expectations before making a big commitment.

I’ve been looking into the Atlanta Country Club membership too. I heard it ranges from $20,000 to $50,000 initiation fees, depending on the type of membership.

14

That’s a significant investment! How does that compare to nearby clubs like the Capital City Club or the Druid Hills Golf Club?

15

I believe Capital City Club’s initiation is about $25,000, which seems somewhat comparable. But the amenities and location can sway your choice.

16

You’re right! I’ve heard the Druid Hills has lower initiation fees, around $15,000, but it lacks some of the high-end facilities available at Atlanta Country Club.

17

Sounds like Atlanta Country Club is on the higher end, but I’m sure the golf course and activities justify that. Anyone experienced the club firsthand?

18

I’ve played there a few times and the atmosphere is fantastic! The membership cost does reflect the quality, that’s for sure.

True, just asking if the yearly fees match what you get. Sometimes it feels like clubs charge just for their reputation.

I get that, Daniel. It’s worth considering, but overall, the service and community feel at Atlanta Country Club might be what sets it apart.
