[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Cause there are a lot of cringe weirdos in DC

I swear people who join country clubs are the ones who are trying to look wealthier than they are. Or those obsessed with status. I went to a top private school and the wealthiest students were not part of a country club. We all had our own pools at home and vacationed in Europe instead. One kid in my grade even had tennis courts at his house[/quote]

I respectfully disagree.  Country clubs are a nice option for people who like to socialize and/or attend organized events (Easter Brunch, Mother's Day brunch, Independence Day BBQ, etc).

It's possible that your wealthy friends did not prioritize socializing with other people.  That's one of the main benefits of a CC, in my humble opinion.

Also, it's nice to have a great gym and other athletic facilities that are not overcrowded.  Some people prefer to work out at home (such as your wealthy friends), but other people like having a place away from the house to work out and play tennis, pickleball, etc.

Another advantage is the restaurants -- there is a dress code and a prohibition on cell phone use.  So it's a pleasant place to get together with friends, as it's not too loud.[/quote]
