I’ve heard that the corporate membership is quite popular, especially for businesses looking to entertain clients. Does anyone know the costs associated with that?

Corporate memberships usually start at about $25,000 and can go higher, depending on the number of employees included. They offer great networking opportunities too!

Wow, that’s a pretty penny! I guess the benefits must be significant to justify that expense, right?

Absolutely, the networking opportunities and corporate events can really make it worthwhile. Plus, you’ll have access to all club facilities and perks like preferred dining.

Does anyone know if there are any additional fees beyond the membership costs? Like initiation fees or maintenance dues?

Yes, there are typically initiation fees on top of the membership cost. For a standard membership, it can range from $2,500 to $5,000, so keep that in mind.

I’m not a fan of how expensive corporate options are. I think they should have more affordable tiers to assist smaller businesses. What do others think?

I see your point, but they do provide great value for larger companies. It’s all about what you prioritize for your business.

Balancing costs with benefits can be tricky. It might be worth testing out a month-to-month trial before committing fully, if the club offers that.

Just to lighten the mood: why does getting a membership feel like buying a car? All these fees and upsells! At least you can say the golf course is one-of-a-kind!

Haha, vstanley that’s spot on! If only driving on the golf course was like driving around town, right? The grass might even be softer than my seat!

The golf course is impeccable but just be aware that membership can come with steep fees. But if you play regularly, the value can outweigh the costs.
