But isn’t it a bit elitist? Some clubs can feel really exclusive; I’m not sure I’d fit in personally.
Glen Ridge is more welcoming than you’d think! Everyone I’ve met has been pretty friendly, regardless of background.
I wonder if other clubs like Maplewood or Montclair have similar costs. They seem to have good reputations, too.
I’ve been a member at Glen Ridge for a few years now. The membership costs can vary widely, but they do offer installment plans that make it manageable. Definitely worth asking about!
That’s great to know! Do you remember how the installment plans work? It would help to understand all the financial options available.

I second that! I’ve heard Glen Ridge offers discounts for new members, especially during the summer. If you love golf and amenities, it’s a great bang for your buck!
Good to know! Could you share more about the kind of discounts you’ve seen?

They usually have promotional rates for new members, like 20% off the first year. They’re always looking to encourage people to join, so it’s worth checking out!
What if we skip the discounts? I’m more curious about how the overall membership feels for your wallet. Is it really affordable in the long run?

That’s a valid point! For me, the value you get from the services and amenities offsets the cost significantly.
I’ve found it a bit pricey, particularly if you enjoy all the extras like fine dining. But if you just use the golf course, it’s manageable.

That’s good to know! I might just stick to the basics. What about families? Is there a family plan?
Yes, they do have family plans! I believe they offer a percentage discount on total membership fees if you join as a family. Makes it a bit easier!
That sounds promising! By the way, has anyone explored the financing options in detail? I’d love to hear some experiences.
