[quote=Anonymous]I am familiar with most of the clubs mentioned here and very familiar with the Chevy Chase Club, where I have many friends who are members.  This message is just to clear up some inaccuracies about Chevy Chase.
There may have been a time when Chevy Chase Club practiced discrimination, but that time is long past.  Chevy Chase has white members, African-American members, Jewish members, men members, women members; you name it, they have it.
A number of the postings here talk about "golf memberships" at the various clubs.  Chevy Chase has various classes of memberships - non-resident members or student members, for example, but none of them restrict the member to only using parts of the club or certain activities at the club.  Golf, tennis, swimming, dining, etc. are available to all members of the club.
The initiation fee at Chevy Chase is about $85,000, and monthly dues are about $600.  Certain classes of members, students, for example, pay lower dues, and children of members pay lower initiation fees.
Chevy Chase is 100% a family club as opposed to being a business club.  Cell phones, laptops, and pdas are not allowed to be used on the club grounds except for laptops to be used for children's homework in one location.  Business papers are not to be used/written/whatever; for example, you can't sit in the dining room and discuss a business deal marking up contracts.
"Important people" don't get in any quicker than regular people.  There is a three year waiting list that everyone goes on except the children of members, who are considered right away.
The Chevy in Chevy Chase does not have a silent "h" as someone suggested.  When people refer to it as Chevy, as some do, it is pronounced the same way as the Chevy is in Chevy Chase Village.  One thing Chevy Chase members do not call their club is "Chevy Chase Country Club."  It is simply Chevy Chase Club.
