Don’t forget to check out the different membership types! Some clubs offer social memberships that are more affordable than full golf memberships. It can save you some money if you don’t use the facilities frequently.

That’s a great point! I’ve seen some clubs with flexible options that allow you to upgrade later, depending on how much you enjoy the place.

If you’re into golf, location matters a lot. I found that some clubs offer more competitive rates for those who just want golf and not all the amenities, which can be a big savings.

You’re right about reducing costs. The Country Club of New Canaan has a tiered membership that lets newcomers start with a lower fee and gradually rise as they become more involved.
