[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Country clubs are for the socially insecure (don’t have and can’t make friends) or status conscious people.  [/quote]

+1.  Not a popular but very accurate statement.  It’s a social club - but you pay to enter.  [/quote]

You're paying for facilities that are not otherwise available, regardless of your willingness to pay.  [/quote]

They are available.

There are public and private pools.
There are public and private golf courses.
There are restaurants and skating rinks the public can access.

What you are paying for is access to consistent facilities when you want to access it (within reason of available tee times)

It wouldn't be for me and I don't understand why people do it, but to each their own.[/quote]

It's not for me, either, but the "facilities" are not identical. I play a lot of golf on the public courses around the region, and I've been a guest at many of the top CCs, and they are simply not the same thing. You don't join a CC because you want "a" pool, but because you want the impeccably maintained pool where you'll know most of the people, can leave stuff there in your locker, and let your kids run around because the place feels like home.

Like I said, it's not for me, but I do understand why some people do it. They find the impeccable and exclusive golf course and the pool-filled-with-friends to be worth it. [/quote]
