Just got here and family loves golf. Big reason we came to Dallas. Anyone know the waitlist, entry fee or firms/partners at these clubs around Dallas and how long process is to membership? (1) Royal Oaks, (2) Brookhaven, (3) Lakewood, (4) Bent Tree, (5) Northwood, (6) Dallas Athletic, (7) Maridoe. I figure it’s near impossible for non Dallas natives to join the following but let me know otherwise: (1) Dallas CC, (2) Brook Hollow, (3) Dallas Natl. Welcome any other recs/tips.

Join Brookhaven for now. Worry about the others later.

Agreed on this one. Too many amenities for young families to enjoy. You can join the others later.

This is the closest thing you’ll get numbers wise without an actual quote from membership staff or hearing from a member.

Club corp is easiest to get into, but that comes with its own issues. Last I heard I think Royal Oaks just went past $100k with its most recent reno

Brookhaven is probably only $5k initiation and like $700/mo for the family, 54 holes but pretty crowded

If you live on the east side of town, you might look at DAC. More expensive than Brookhaven but nicer. 2 courses. If you're under 35, the junior golf membership is a really good deal and you should be able to get in right away if you pay the full initiation fee upfront. I don't know the current cost numbers though, sorry.

like

Lakewood CC not a bad deal for east Dallas either.

Would like to know as well

Junior or full? As far as I’m aware the only ones in your list that don’t have a wait are Brook and Maridoe. Maridoe doesn’t have a wait because it is truly invite only by the guy who owns it.

No, that’s the initiation fee. For monthly dues you’re looking in the 1200 range
