It is substantially cheaper, but I don't remember off the top of my head now. You really should just call and ask the membership office. They're very friendly and would be happy to give you all the information.

Highly doubt it. Anyone can get into Chevy nowadways (non diverse people anyway). It is not what I would call elite society. Maybe a few social climbers trying to be elite but overall I would say very average normal people.

Perhaps. But compared to any other club in the area it's still the most exclusive. Nothing else (in DC) holds a candle

This is funny. You are very wrong. Most of the very elite DC families actually do not belong to Chevy. You clearly do not know much about high society in DC.

I've heard the golf courses are much better at the first two, though Washington Golf has a better location. Any thoughts anyone has on these places would be appreciated.

OK, well if you *were* a member of Chevy, then you would not say this. If you are not a member, then please, feel free to join and prove your point.
