That means I am driving to and from the club at least four times a day several days a week in summer. Add junior golf to that and it can get crazy. Throw in a commute and you will come to hate the club.
I do poorly and DH does pretty well. Honestly, and just to be upfront, we are looking for other couples/families to be social with. All food point you raise. I guess I'm just asking if folks can help me figure out what Waahington Golf CC is like - again, since I know no one. Is it political? Tech? Government workers? Doctors/lawyers kids? Real estate? Old Italian Arlington? Newbies/wannabes? I just look to this board for honest info and opinions. Thanks

This topic has been done. If you want to join a club, how about you do it for the amenities and convenience that club offers, rather than the perceived "caliber" of the other members.
Thanks for the link. It's not that we're social climbers or terrible people. It's a lot of money to spend- so it's really not a terrible thing to ask people's opinions of who goes there since I know no one. Also - like it or not there is clearly a social component to joining a club or people would go to the fine free public golf and Rec centers (which we do go to). So thanks for your honest opinions on the social component. And the honest "nearness to home" opinions as well.
I guess I'm also asking if there is any appreciable sifference between Washington Golf CC, Congressional, and Chevy Chase?
