[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I heard that back in the day most of the local country clubs excluded Jewish people with the exception of Indian Springs (which has been closed for a long time now).  I went to private school in Kensington and many families from Chevy Chase View (conservative and Catholic) belonged to Columbia and Chevy Chase.  The majority of country club families seem to be legacies -- sort of a family tradition -- plus some random local wealthy folks or people sponsored by their employers (ie: Ernst & Young). I would suspect that it would be tough to break into that community and that most would view you as an outsider. Doesn't appeal to me at all.  And FWIW OP:  you said you sent your kids to private school strictly for educational purposes -- as if you were trying to distinguish your motives from something along the lines of social climbing -- which is fine. But if you are contemplating joining a country club, then that pretty much goes out the window, right? I mean, call it "socializing" but it doesn't matter -- this is attempting to climb the social ladder, etc.  [/quote]

We are poor Jews, so we couldn't afford it. However, if they ever say anything to me directly or indirectly about not being able to join only because I'm Jewish, I'll stick their tennis racket up their ass.[/quote]
