What’s the Membership Cost for Golf at Olympic Club SF?

Golf Techniques and Tips
1

I’m curious about the membership costs at the Olympic Club in San Francisco, specifically for golf. I’ve heard it’s a prestigious place to join, but I’d love to get insights from people who are currently members or have considered it.

Here are a few specific questions I have:

  • What are the initiation fees? Are there any hidden costs that come with becoming a member?
  • What are the annual dues like? Does the cost vary based on different types of memberships (like social vs. golf)?
  • What benefits do you get as a golf member? Is it worth the investment if you’re really into golfing?
  • Any tips on getting started? I’m also interested in knowing about the overall experience as a member and whether there are any specific requirements to be aware of.

Thanks in advance for any insights or advice you can share!

Great topic! The Olympic Club has several membership tiers. The initiation fees can range from $30,000 to over $100,000 depending on the level, and annual dues vary too. I recommend checking their official site for the latest details!

Thanks for the info, Diana! Can you elaborate on the differences between the tiers? What unique benefits does each one offer?

Currently, they offer Full Golf, Social, and Junior memberships. Full Golf has the highest cost but includes full access to all facilities and voting rights. Social is more affordable and includes limited access. Junior memberships have reduced fees for younger members.

That’s helpful! What are the age limits for the Junior memberships?

7

The Junior membership usually goes up to 40 years old. It’s a great way for younger golfers to engage without breaking the bank!

I wonder if they have any special promotions for new members? It would be great if they do!

Not that I know of, Amanda, but it’s worth asking. They occasionally offer referral bonuses that can help reduce costs.

Referral bonuses sound interesting! Are there any additional requirements for those bonuses?

11

Yes, typically you’d need a current member to refer you, and both people may get a discount. Definitely something to consider!

Olympic Club is known for its mix! While it has some exclusivity, many members are friendly and welcoming. It’s a great place to build friendships over golf!

Hahaha! Just make sure to wear proper shoes or you’ll be playing in the parking lot! Jokes aside, it’s a fantastic experience. Worth every penny if you love golf.

I’m currently looking into membership costs at Olympic Club too. From what I’ve gathered, initiation fees can be quite steep, often in the range of $80,000 to $100,000. This is higher than a few other clubs in the Bay Area, but it offers fantastic amenities.

16

That’s true! The Golf Club in San Francisco has initiation fees around $60,000, and they offer great networking opportunities. I think comparing amenities is key to understanding the value.

I heard the Olympic Club has a longer waiting list and a more prestigious history, which might justify the costs. Other clubs, like the San Francisco Golf Club, tend to have very similar fees but are less well-known.

18

Absolutely, that’s part of its allure. However, some find the exclusivity outweighs the price difference. Still, is it worth that much more?

19

Prices for clubs like Burlingame Country Club are significantly lower than Olympic Club. They charge around $40,000 initiation, but they don’t have the same level of prestige. Just depends on what you value.

Very true! I think the atmosphere at Olympic Club is one of a kind, and it has access to major tournaments that other clubs don’t offer.
