I’m considering joining the Hinsdale Golf Club and I’m really curious about their membership costs. I’ve heard it can be quite exclusive, but I’m not sure what to expect regarding initiation fees, annual dues, and any other hidden costs that might come with it.

What I’m Looking For:

  • Initiation Fees: What’s the average cost to join?
  • Annual Dues: How much are the yearly fees?
  • Other Costs: Are there additional costs for things like carts, range fees, or locker rentals?

Things to Consider:

It would be helpful to know how these costs compare to other private golf clubs in the area. If anyone has insights or experience regarding the financial commitments at Hinsdale, or even their general impression of the club, I’d really appreciate the input!

Preferred Sources:

  • If you have links to the official site or any credible articles discussing this, that would be super helpful!
  • Also, any anecdotes about the club atmosphere or amenities would be great as I weigh my options.

Thanks in advance for any advice or information you can share! Looking forward to hearing your thoughts!
