I’m considering joining the Des Moines Golf and Country Club but I’m a bit curious about the costs involved. I’ve been researching online, but I haven’t found clear information regarding the membership fees.
Could anyone here share what the typical membership costs are? Maybe break it down into different types of membership if possible? I’m particularly interested in the following aspects:
Membership Fees
Initiation Fee: Is there a one-time fee to join?
Monthly Dues: How much do you pay per month?
Additional Costs: Are there any other costs like maintenance fees, spending minimums, etc.?
Facilities and Benefits
What’s Included: What amenities or benefits do you get with your membership?
Access to Events: Are there any special events or tournaments for members?
Overall Value
Is it Worth It?: For those who have been members, do you think it’s worth the investment?
Trial Options: Are there any trial memberships or temp access available for new members to check things out before committing?
I really want to make an informed decision, so any insights would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!
The initiation fee for the Des Moines Golf and Country Club is quite significant, often around $25,000. However, they sometimes offer discounts for first-time members, so it’s worth asking!
From what I gathered, sometimes they have membership drives where the initiation fee is reduced for newcomers. Best to contact them directly for the latest info.
I’ve been a member at Des Moines Golf and Country Club for three years. The membership cost is around $6,000 annually. There are monthly dues on top of that, usually around $500, which cover maintenance and amenities.
Actually, I’ve found that many similar clubs in the Des Moines area start at about $5,000 and go up to $10,000. The value at Des Moines is pretty good considering the amenities and facilities.
And don’t forget, some clubs have additional fees for events, dining, and other activities. It can really add up if you’re not careful! But the experience is worth it.
I’ve seen clubs that charge initiation fees, too! At Des Moines, there’s no initiation fee for standard memberships, which is a plus. Just keep an eye on those monthly dues.
