I live in Northern Virginia and I am interested in joining a country club. There are several CC near where I live:
- Westwood CC in Vienna, Virginia; about 7 minutes drive
- Trump National CC in Sterling Virginia: about 45 minutes drive
- Riverbend CC in Great Falls Virginia: about 20 minutes drive
- Congressional CC in Bethesda Maryland: about 30 minutes drive
These CCs require at least 87K initiation fee, about 10k/year annual due, and about $800/month in food and drink. The exception is Trump national that requires 25K initiation fee.
I was very interested in joining one of the CCs until yesterday when I think more about it. With 100K that I have to spend on the first year, I can play serious amount of golf just about anywhere in the US on public golf courses, why ties myself to a single CCs and the food at these CC's are neither healthy nor good. There are so many excellent golf courses in Fairfax County Virginia and Montgomery County Maryland that I don't think I need to join one of these CCs.
What are the reasons that people join these CCs? Status and to show that they have lot of $$$?
