Anyone here partake in a Junior Membership at a local golf or country club? I’m 26 living in a southern tier 3 city and currently weighing the pros and cons.

Having had memberships at numerous clubs over the years, I would make the following assumptions. Any Initiation fees you pay will be money you won’t see again, so add that to you calculation. If you plan on staying in your city, that’s fine, otherwise don’t do it. Your monthly dues seem about reasonable for a good club and if the course is better than other golf options in the area, a good deal at $50 a round.

Yeah I just have to pay a cart fee of $25 for 18 holes. Pretty great deal

Yeah. 25. Tier 1 city. Joined a CC last year. What do you want to know?

How much did you pay for initiation and what are your monthly fees? Would be great to know what monthly fees are as % of your after tax income as well

No initiation until 40. Dues are $3500 plus debt service of $650 due every January. Then spend whatever you want between March and December. Club closes in January and February which is pretty standard

On average it’s $650 a month after tax for what I use it for. I also have a fiancé so we go there a lot on the weekends for date nights. Assume 1.5 rounds a weekend.
