I’ve been thinking about joining the Fort Lauderdale Country Club and was hoping to get some insights from anyone who might already be a member or has done some research on it. Understanding the membership costs is essential for me as I compare it with other golf clubs in the area.

Overview of Membership Costs

I’m particularly interested in:

  • Initiation Fees: What can I expect to pay upfront?
  • Monthly Dues: How much are the ongoing costs?
  • Additional Fees: Are there any other hidden costs or fees related to special events, dining, or golf tournaments?

Comparing with Other Clubs

I know costs can vary widely, so I’d also appreciate insights on how the Fort Lauderdale Country Club stacks up against others in the region.

  • Are the amenities worth the cost?
  • How does the overall experience compare for the price?

Your Experiences

If you have been a member, what have been your experiences with the pricing and the value you get in return? Any advice or tips on negotiating membership costs?

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide! Looking forward to hearing from fellow golfers!

I believe the initiation fee is around $10,000 for a full individual membership. Monthly dues can add another $500 or so to your budget.

Wow, $10,000! That’s quite an investment. Are the monthly dues the same for family memberships, or is it more?

5

You can generally expect family memberships to have slightly higher initiation fees, like $12,000, with monthly dues around $600.

Yes, there are corporate memberships! The initiation fee is typically $15,000, with monthly dues approximately $1,000. A bit steep but could be worth it if your company hosts events there.

That’s a hefty price tag! What amenities come with that membership? Are there any hidden fees I should be aware of?

I think the membership usually includes golfing, pool access, and dining. Just be wary of additional fees for certain events or special occasions. They can add up!

That sounds a bit sneaky! Can they really charge extra for member-only events? Seems like they should include that in the dues.

It’s like a buffet that keeps asking for more on your plate! But really, consider it part of the luxury experience at these places. It’s a trade-off for the exclusivity!

I’m considering joining Fort Lauderdale Country Club too. The initial membership fee is a bit steep compared to others around here, but I’ve heard their amenities are top-notch! What do you guys think?

13

I got a quote of around $30,000 to join, but it includes golf, dining, and other perks. Compared to nearby clubs, it seems competitive. Still, looking for that ultimate value!

14

From what I’ve researched, the amenities at Fort Lauderdale give a lot for the price. If you’re into golf, the course is pristine! Other clubs like Imperial or Hillcrest have decent prices but offer fewer activities.

15

That’s a great point, Paul! I’ve found that some members value the exclusivity at Fort Lauderdale over savings at other clubs. It’s definitely a trade-off!

16

As someone who’s been a member for years, I can say the camaraderie and events make the premium worth it. Plus, they often have special deals for families!

17

I heard that Fort Lauderdale has some of the best dining options among clubs. Is that true? Would love to know how that compares to places like Boca West.

18

Absolutely! Their dining is fantastic! If food is a priority for you, Fort Lauderdale stands out for sure. Eating a good meal after a round of golf is priceless!

19

But is it really worth it? I mean, how many country clubs can one actually enjoy? I’d love to hear the opinions of those who switched to Fort Lauderdale from other clubs.

That’s a fair question, Valarie. Each club has its own vibe. Fort Lauderdale definitely has a lively atmosphere, but some people thrive in the quieter settings of places like Woodfield.
