In an earlier blog in February, I detailed which clubs offer reciprocal priviledges to my home club, The Oaks. That same blog prompted a number of enquiries as to the differing costs of membership associated with some of these private local golf clubs. So here is a list of nine clubs with their full initiation fee and full dues as at December 31/2009. (Keep in mind that these clubs may have different food and beverage minimums, different service charges and different return amounts in equity….but this is a good guide…and if I told you everything there would be no need to call me to get more information !!)
The Oaks…Initiation $65,400…yearly dues $7,225
Lakewood Ranch…Initiation $52,200…yearly dues $6,876
Longboat Key Club…Initiation $50,000…yearly dues $11,125
Laurel Oak…Initiation $6000…yearly dues $9,588
TPC Prestancia…Initiation $20,000…yearly dues $7,512
University Park…Initiation $5,000…yearly dues $6,240
The Founders Club…Initiation $47,500…yearly dues $9,860
