Country Club Foodand Beverage Minimum

[Anonymous]

Our club does not currently have a F & B minimum but is proposing one next year. Oddly alcohol purchases would not apply to the minimum. I am trying to do a bit of research on other clubs in the area so we can go back to management with some comps. Please list the following:

Club name
Food and Beverage Minimum and Period (for example $150 quarterly), etc.
Alcohol applied to minimum (yes or no)

Thanks

150 a quarter
Alcohol is included

Club is on west coast (we have several homes)

Prefer not to say club name - golf club only, no tennis or pool

People still belong to country clubs? Wow.

Wow, that seems like a lot. $1000 a year for F&B?

It is less than that $115/mo listed above.

I don't mind the f&b minimum, especially in the summer that amount goes quickly.

I have found this too. We do Sunday dinner at the country club from May-October plus all the other random lunches and dinners when we're at the pool. Certainly no more expensive than picking up food somewhere and it's convenient since we are hanging out there anyway.

If you can afford a CC membership then a F&B minimum should not be of concern. I spend over $100 a month just at the Lifetime Fitness cafe and there is no alcohol.
