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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Resident | $15,000 | $5,460 | — | Well sourced 85/100 · 2025 | Kuebler & Associates / Kopplin Kuebler & Wallace (KK&W job-board CDN) ↗ |
- · From the General Manager search profile the club gave Kuebler & Associates, which states a $15,000 initiation fee and $5,460 annual resident dues alongside roughly 2,539 resident members and $44.5M of gross volume. Published on the search firm's own job-board CDN with a March 2025 application deadline, so these are the club's own figures as of early 2025 and may have risen since.
