How it rates
Scored out of ten from documented facts only — court counts, ranking lists, published fee and sponsor requirements. Nothing here is an opinion poll, and a category the club has not documented is left blank rather than guessed at.

Worth knowing
Highest published initiation in the tri-state, and expenses ran well past revenue
At $250,000, Glen Oaks carries the highest initiation fee we have found a source for. Its FY2023 return also shows $33.1M of expenses against $23.8M of revenue, with net assets swinging from positive $6.7M to negative $2.5M in a single year. That is the signature of a major capital programme.

Know Glen Oaks Club?
The filings tell us what the club collected. They cannot tell us the fee, the dues, or how long the list really is. Members and applicants supply that. It takes a minute, it's anonymous, and it makes the next person's search better.
