Yes! They offer family memberships and sometimes have promotions for long-term members that reduce the initiation fee.

I’ve been a member at Columbia Edgewater for a few years now. The membership costs around $2,500 annually, which includes access to both the golf course and the clubhouse facilities. It’s a great value considering the community events and amenities offered.

14

That’s good to know! How does that compare with other clubs in the area, like Riverside and Waverley? I’ve heard their fees can be pretty steep.

15

I’ve checked around, and Riverside’s membership is closer to $3,200, but they do have a really extensive range of amenities. Waverley is similar, but the location is a big selling point too.
