    Comparing golf clubs with non golf clubs is just silly.

    Because it's an exclusive club. The people there don't want to be bothered by people not in their circle.
    Why do we have first class seats on flights. Why are there gated communities, why do companies gave security at the front door?
    There are plenty of cheaper clubs.

      @@alimfuzzy Makes perfect sense too. How else would you justify paying for a condo for eg that lets any tom dick or harry in? Like how some clowns complain country clubs do not allow non members in. Like DUH obviously

      Mothership delivery is like for toddlers. Its the equivalent of a high school news show.

    I hate networking, but i can see the value in such memberships if one can afford it.
    Mingling and making connections with the elites who have connections and money is quite a powerful asset I'd say.

    Because you can resell the full membership, may even make a profit out of it. One can just keep the membership and not use the facility.

    I dont know what is the boomer generation's fetish with country clubs, honestly to me, a waste of time and nothing tangible and intrinsic to show for, glad that the younger generation are not that obssessed with country club memberships

      It's catered to people who don't feel even a pinch spending that kind of money, or those who know how to capitalize on networking there.

      Not happy about others? Your envy is dragging you down. Govt alr subsidise so much for the common man. Just watch the video and learn. Stop talking nonsense about patriarchy in country club as many women happily utilise the facilities
