[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honest question, what is the appeal of these country clubs? I am not a yuppy and a normal person, but I am house searching and I see some nice homes in these country clubs. But I know nothing about them. Not trying to sound mean, just trying to understand.

They are great if you enjoy golf or tennis and for the kids activities (pool, etc). If you’re friends with a lot of other members, then it becomes like the bar in Cheers, where “everybody knows your name” when you walk in. It makes a large city smaller. Plus, they’re nice to take guests, network, etc. Each of the mentioned clubs is different in terms of amenities, and some offer reduced memberships (eg, “tennis only”).

I’ll leave to others to point out the lack of racial, religious and economic diversity, etc. [/quote
I’m PP. thanks for answering, honestly. I appreciate it. I’m not into golf or tennis so maybe that’s why I never got into it. [/quote]

I do not belong to a country club nor did I attend one growing up because we were poor. Recently I starting visiting one (in a different part of the country in a small town, not like the DC scene) and here is what I see as being appealing for some people:
Well maintained amenities for gold, tennis, and swimming
Kids activities
Adult social events, special parties, etc.
Familiarity, a known spot to hold dinners and network 
Comfortable and scenic and attractive surroundings
