Definitely check out Forest Hills Country Club. Their initiation fee is much lower compared to others and their membership plans are quite flexible.
Thanks for the tip, thompsonkim! Does anyone know if Forest Hills has good practice facilities? That’s a big plus for me.

Just a heads-up, each course has different rules regarding guest fees. If you play with friends who aren’t members, costs might add up quickly! Worth checking.
Good point, nmorales! It’s crucial to weigh all these costs before committing. Does anyone have a favorite course they’ve found to be the best value?
I’d say Meadowbrook Country Club gives you a lot for your money! The facilities are top-notch, and the community is very friendly. Definitely worth checking out.
I like Meadowbrook too! But just remember, it’s not all about price—sometimes the experience makes the cost worth it. Just my two cents!
If you’re seeking private courses in St. Louis, check out St. Louis Country Club and Bellerive. Both have great accessibility for new members!
What about membership costs? Are they high for new members?
Costs can definitely vary, but places like Old Warson might have initiation fees around $50k! Be ready to pay for those networking opportunities, though.
Yikes! That’s quite an investment. Are the networking opportunities worth it?
Absolutely! Networking at these clubs can lead to business opportunities and friendships. It’s very community-oriented.
What about getting involved in events or tournaments? Are those easy to join?

Yes! Most private clubs have annual tournaments and social events aimed at new members to help integrate them. It’s a great way to meet people.
I’ve heard some clubs are more exclusive than they appear. Any thoughts on that? Can newcomers really break in?
It’s true! Some clubs can be a bit cliquish. However, making the effort to attend events usually helps you forge those connections.
That’s good to know. It’s all about putting yourself out there, I guess!
