[quote=Anonymous]As a memeber of one of the clubs in Bethesda/Chevy Chase i.e. the Chevy Chase Club, Columbia Country Club and Congressional Country Club (please note later iterations of the "three C's"-and I have never heard of this expression...Chevy, Columbia, and Congressional all begin with the letter "C"-and followed by-well, you know. Woodmont CC is in Rockville.

In short the initiation fee is roughly the same at Columbia as Chevy-about $80,000.00 Chevy has a longer waiting list due to the "old guard" at approximatley seven years. Columbia's waithing list is roughly two to three years. Congressional on the the other hand is $100,00.00 and the wait list varies. It is a far easier club to join given that they have 1) more land 2) two golf courses and 3) they pretty much accept anyone willing to pay the fee. The growth of the Potomac area has cotributed to this exceedingly high number of members and relative newcomers to the area.

The fees include a minimum and "assesments"-improvements to the golf course, tennis or paddle tennis courts and general capital expdenitures and operating expenses.

Contrary to some of the steriotypical comments from the commets about the non-social aspect of the clubs-I would say this may be true of Congressional-but not not Columbia or Chevy. Columbia was founded in 1898-and word around the campfire was formed for all of those of whom not accepted at Chevy.

The dues-and off the top of my head can't remember-and I am not rich-run about $500.00 a month with a bar and food minimum of "X" (?) so use it or lose it!Assessments were painful went skating rinks were built for the kids-hockey and general stuff like that-and I paid for it-and do not have any kids! Very painful.

I hope this hepls.
