What about the social events? Are those included in membership, or do they cost extra? I love golf, but I’m also interested in the community aspect.

Most social events are included, but some special events may have additional fees. They usually notify members in advance, though.
Humorously, you might find yourself spending more on golf attire than membership fees if you’re not careful! Just a heads up.
I’ve heard the initial membership cost is around $15,000, plus annual dues of about $3,000. But don’t forget about extra costs like cart fees, dining minimums, and event fees, which can add up.

That’s correct! And it can be easy to overlook those dining minimums. They usually require you to spend a certain amount at the club restaurant, which varies by membership type.
The amenities are fantastic, and many events are free for members. Access to swimming, the fitness center, and special member events can really enhance the experience. Worth considering even with the extra costs!
Absolutely! Plus, what about cart fees? I believe they’re around $20 per round, which isn’t too bad if you play frequently.
Don’t forget to factor in the cost of tournaments or special events. Some might have additional entry fees. It’s always good to check beforehand.

Right! The social events are an excellent part of membership, though, and many members find them worth the extra cost.
Overall, I’d say that while upfront costs can seem high, the amenities and events can provide great value depending on how often you use them!
Exactly! Just make sure to evaluate how often you’ll be using the facilities—it’s all about making it worth your investment!
I’m curious, how do the costs compare to other clubs in the area? Has anyone done that comparison?
I haven’t done a thorough comparison, but I know some clubs have higher initial fees but lower monthly dues. It’s worth looking into!
Just a tip—usually clubs have a referral program, so if you know a current member, you might get a discount! Always good to ask.
