Country Club Members?

[benk777]

I am considering joining a local golf country club, and have requested some information on benefits and cost. What did you pay for your initiation fee, and what do you pay annually? Are there other costs paid on a normal basis?

Thanks.

I'd rather not share the costs, but I'll let you know this.... Be Careful, because the club I belong to REQUIRES me to spend $150/mo in the pro-shop, or restaurant, but that can include guests' green-fees, etc.... but living in Cleveland, it's tough to spend $150 in November, December, January, etc..... get my drift??? You can't carry it over either, I have to spend $150/mo and if I don't, they just charge me the difference (so If I don't buy ANYTHING from them in December, I get charged $150..... and after December it's too late to say "oh, give me some golf-balls" etc. )

The one here in VA is the same way. We have winter and they require a 150.00 a month spending per month as well. Its a use it or lose, but you still pay. And the membership isnt cheap either.

I live in northern VA, my dad spends about 700 dollars a month for the membership. i know it is too much, but he could afford it. However, which golf course in VA charges 150 dollars for the membership?.

No 150.00 a month in spending, What the OP was talking about. This doesnt include the annual membership fees which I believe is 800.00 a month

Back when I graduated HS I had a landscaping business and had a few customers who were country club members. I was always getting taken out to lunch, and given gifts(shirts,jackets and such). I just thought I was doing a good job.
