HHI for Country club membership?

[Anonymous]

Country clubs are for people who want to be around the rich and powerful but don’t know they left the club 20 years ago. 2022 power doesn’t sit in a dusty tennis court.

Ha. 2022’s leaders are all about 80. They definitely favor dusty old things!

Omg do you get your ideas of power from movies? Do you think powerful people still sit around shrimp cocktails, smoking cigars and yapping about military secrets? Actual power doesn’t sit around a club, it works, usually at Goldman Sachs.

Powerful people play golf. That’s why they are members at Congressional and Riverbend CC’s

This is the dumb comment. People join cc's to golf, swim, tennis, eat, and socialize with people like themselves -- UMC folks. No one does it to be around the rich and powerful. If someone at a club is truly powerful the rest of the members think they are a'holes. People join because the money does not mean anything to them and they think it will be fun.

1,500 a month to a person with HHI of a million is 150 a month to a person with 100k HHI. Not nothing but not going to be missed.

Stop this --- you are the one lost in the movies.. The CEO and maybe 10 people at GS have actual power. Everyone else gets paid a fortune but they don't have power. The head of the equity trading desk may make 40 million a year but he/she has no political or other power. They probably could not get the toilet paper changed at GS.

At my golf club there is an unwritten rule that if you let on that you think you are a big swinging dick you will find it very hard to get a game. We go to relax, play golf and never talk business.

We moved to the south and it's unthinkable not to have a membership at the ones here. But cc culture here in the south is A LOT different. The clubs are in a consortium, so you buy one membership and get access to all of them. You have to pay extra to add on the "premier" one that is subtantially nicer, and although its literally only like 50 bucks a month to add on, it seems like only the richer people do and the clientele is a lot more upscale than the other ones.

The clubs here seem to go for a younger and more fun-loving crowd. They have things lke gyms with classes, a lounge area with a Top Golf simulator, wine dinners, and an adults only pool with swim-up bar. This is in addition to typical club feature like golf, etc.

There is an add-on where you get access to clubs throughout the world, so you could go on vacation and hit up the cc where you vacation.

I have been shocked at how inexpensive the membership is. We paid under a grand for initiation, and have a social membership with access to the driving range and 10 rounds of golf per year (just pay to play more, with a friend that has a full membership. We pay about $200 per month for this.

I dont know what the "class" is. This is a rich town and it seems like everyone at the club is comfortable. We dont talk about 401ks and stuff like that, as people here have mentioned. We talk about things like concerts that are upcoming, trips, vacations, a bit about work, and random things like aliens and conspiracy theories. I think people who make under 400 would be able to relate to all that.

What city/area is this?

Our HHI is $600K and we are in our mid-30s. We are in Greenwich, CT. Lots of country clubs around here and yacht clubs. We have gone with friends to their clubs and it's really nice. I wouldn't join a club unless we had a HHI over $1M. We don't own a boat or golf, so probably not worth it for us at any income level.

ATL area. Our HHI has taken a hit with the economy, and we are now a bit under 1M /year. But for $200/month for a social membership, I think it's attainable for most people. Now, our actual monthly bill is higher bc of stuff like dinner-- but we would be going out for dinner anyway.

I dont want to hang out with "power," I want to hang out with "fun."

You're missing the point. Nobody claims to be a big shot because everybody is a big shot. I used to work at a high-end CC during summer break between college and just about everyone there is CEO, CFO, COO, CIO, managing director, and senior partners... A few times some of their golf partners didn't show up so I got to pair with these people to play a round of golf. I was a very good golfer so I got invited to play with them on many occasions and built a relationship with them. After college, I got a high paying job through one of those connections.

DP. I agree with what youre saying, that connections help. But also, many of us just like the amenities and arent interested in spending our free time deliberately cultivating connections for work. At some point, you are well established enough in your career that youre less focused on that and you are just looking for friendships with like-minded people.

Depends on the course. Pine Valley, Augusta, and Seminole offers to play are scooped up by everyone from the best golfers to the biggest $. Jay Powell asks you to play CCC, you accept. Winged Foot, the Long Island courses that matter, they all have hitters playing them.

Great courses not sure either draws the most powerful around this area. Riverbend in particular though is filled with quality people. Every time I am out there I have fun.

I dont think Augusta is a normal country club for locals to hang out. The town is a total dump and even the rich area is kind of second rate.
