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.

What it costs, by category
Every figure carries its source and a confidence rating. Where a source gave a range rather than a number, we show the range.
| Category | Initiation | Annual dues | Minimum | Confidence | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| All | — | — | — | Reported 76/100 · 2018 | GOLF.com ↗ |
| full | $250k–— | $15,000 | — | Unverified 35/100 · 2026 | what.club community estimate ↗ |
- · GOLF.com states plainly that the club is invitation-only and that fee data is not public. A high-confidence negative, not a fee.
- · Community estimate, not confirmed by the club or a named source. Shown as a range because the underlying reports disagree.
