Not exactly true. While lists are shorter, there are still waiting lists. It may not be 7 years, it may end up being closer to 3. We live in a city and people want pools and golf and that will never change.

Country Clubs are hurting now a days. At the annual meeting of Private ClubManagers, they are trying to come up with way to get memebers because the legacy members are not joining as they had hoped and the older poeple are dropping like flies. The "waiting list" is much like that fior Redskins tickets, if you have the cash now, you can get in.

You can still play golf but need to pay greens fees.

Thanks!

Does Kenwood have a waiting list?

Kenwood non-golf membership is $49,000 and $365/month.

Is there a non-golf membership and how much is it?

Kenwood (one of the more affordable clubs) is $61,000 initiation (25% down and balance over 20 months) for full membership. Monthly dues are $460 per month.

Their are other levels that are less but this is the maximum.

Which country clubs would qualify at the "Big Three," to borrow DCUM language.

Congressional Country Club, Columbia Country Club, and Woodmont maybe in Moco.

And out of ever further curiosity, how much are they? Initiation fees plus annual dues. Someone already mentioned the price for Congressional, what about the other two (or 3 if you include Chevy Chase).

Around 90-100K. Monthly fees probably around 300-400 (the kicker is clearly the initiation fee).
BUT if you are a legacy, remember, initiation fees are a lot less. Many young members of these clubs ARE legacies. And many seem so snooty, but it's funny, because they're paying so much less than someone who joins without the family connection.

I know people who have taken out home equity loans to pay for their young member dues.....it's all about keeping up with the Jones....

Back to basics. Surely, your original comment is a rash generalization. It's hard to believe you've never met anyone in this area with whatever it is you define as class. Do you attend church, synagoge, mosque, etc.? Have you no spiritual foundation in your life? What about friends and business colleagues? I don't define "class" with money, education, or social position but rather with someone whose word is good and who live their lives with honor, integrity, kindness, and empathy.

You are a sad person.

What makes you think the last misspelling wasn't intentional?

FAHE's cannot one cannot see what FAHE's do not possess. The neuveau riche so often serve as a source of amusement and bemusement. You do not disappoint.

Pray give us, the great unwashed, your defiition of "class."

Part of having class is being able to spell, unlike you.

Well, definitely, you do not disappoint as "nouveau" was misspelled intentionally to see if you were able to display any class by not pointing out my error. The nouveau riche are both bores and boors. Well done.

You also spelled "dissapointed" wrong, you Classy Lady, you! What a bravura show of class... I salute you, Classy Lady!

LOL! I love everyone's "inventive spelling," as they call it at DC's school.
