[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Depends on the club. Somewhere like Chevy Chase Club is old money.  Washington Gold or Woodmont?  Sure, definitely some middle calss people. [/quote]
Isn't Washington Golf significantly more expensive than Chevy now? Like $115,000 entry fees from what I have heard? And the wait list is something like six years long? Hardly middle class to me[/quote]

I don’t know but the members at Chevy are mostly lovely and well-bred and the members at WGCC are mostly the worst kind of strivers. [/quote]

This. I grew up in Chevy Chase but live in Va now. It’s pathetic how high class the WG people think they are. [/quote]

+1. At my workplace there are 10+ Washington Golf members and their conversations about it are cringe-worthy. I can count over ten times I've overheard/been there for long convos with our 20s/30s associates about initiation fees, the "who's who" of the membership, etc., and how the associates just HAVE to join in a few years. I'm a member of another local cc whose members would never, ever do that.

As far as I can tell, places like WG/Congo will take anyone who can afford them and is willing to wait a few years. But to answer OP, I don't consider any of these folks "middle class" -- they make >2-4m / year.[/quote]

sounds like you know what OP is talking about and you just gave an exAmple[/quote]
