What membership actually costs
Initiation is the entry ticket. Dues, food minimums and assessments decide what you really pay. Here is everything we can source, and an honest list of what we cannot.
Most private clubs do not publish their fees. Other directories fill that gap with estimates. We do not — where a club publishes nothing, we say so. The list of clubs that are transparent is, in itself, useful information.
