[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]

We only joined because of the pandemic. My kids play tennis almost everyday. We use the pool. Dh takes kids golfing. We attend some events like brunch with Santa, princess afternoon tea, Easter brunch, etc.

I don’t think I would join if I was about to become an empty nester. That just me. If Dh wants to join, so be it.[/quote]
